Mark Rolfe
Rhetoric, Politics and Society Series Editors Alan Finlayson University of East Anglia Norfolk, United Kingdom James Martin Goldsmiths, University of London London, United Kingdom Kendall Phillips University of Syracuse, USA Syracuse, New York, USA
Rhetoric lies at the intersection of a variety of disciplinary approaches and methods, drawing upon the study of language, history, culture and philosophy to understand the persuasive aspects of communication in all its modes: spoken, written, argued, depicted and performed. This series presents the best international research in rhetoric that develops and exemplifies the multifaceted and cross-disciplinary exploration of practices of persuasion and communication. It seeks to publish texts that openly explore and expand rhetorical knowledge and enquiry, be it in the form of historical scholarship, theoretical analysis or contemporary cultural and political critique. The editors welcome proposals for monographs that explore contemporary rhetorical forms, rhetorical theories and thinkers, and rhetorical themes inside and across disciplinary boundaries. For informal enquiries, questions, as well as submitting proposals, please contact the editors: Alan Finlayson: [email protected] James Martin: j.martin@ gold.ac.uk Kendall Phillips: [email protected]
