Description
Politics and Rhetoric, (PDF), serves as an essential resource that effectively bridges the gap between discourse analysis and classical rhetoric while adapting these concepts for the modern political arena. This comprehensive work delves into contemporary political theory, illustrating its relevance through meticulously selected examples drawn from current political events. It is a must-read for students and enthusiasts of politics and political communication alike.
Rhetoric, often defined as the art of persuasion, encompasses the study of effective argumentation. Historically, during Classical times, it was a fundamental aspect of civic education. For those engaged in the study of rhetoric, politics transcends mere observation; it is an art form requiring adept execution. However, amidst the complexities of today’s democracies, political discourse can oftentimes be perceived through a lens of skepticism, leading us to dismiss politically charged rhetoric as having malicious intent. This misunderstanding creates an environment where critical engagement with public arguments diminishes, reducing citizens to passive observers of a media spectacle rather than active participants in the political dialogue.
This volume provides a thought-provoking and comprehensive introduction to the essential skills found within the rhetorical arts. It critically examines the role of rhetoric in our contemporary public sphere and assesses its valuable contributions to political theory. Central to the discussion are probing questions about identity and power in the realm of political communication. How can we discern if we are being subtly swayed by those intent on persuading us? The author argues that a thorough understanding of rhetorical techniques, coupled with an awareness of their manifestation in today’s political landscape, is crucial for navigating these persistent inquiries.
