“ Rhetoric and Revolution”
The 2007 conference of the American Society for the History of Rhetoric will explore the historic relationship between rhetoric and revolution. We invite submissions that consider how rhetorical theory, practice, and pedagogy have been used to foster or resist popular acceptance of revolutionary ideas and ideologies and to encourage or discourage acts of rebellion against established social, political, and economic systems. Additionally, because rhetorical traditions reflect history and culture as much as they shape them, we encourage submissions that examine how rhetoric itself has been affected by radical social, political, and intellectual changes and technological innovations.
