Educating the New Southern Woman (Studies in Rhetorics and Feminisms)
by David Gold and Catherine L. Hobbs
From the end of Reconstruction through World War II, a network of public colleges for white women flourished throughout the South. Founded primarily as vocational colleges to educate women of modest economic means for life in the emerging "new" South, these schools soon transformed themselves into comprehensive liberal arts-industrial institutions, proving so popular that they became among the largest women's colleges in the nation. In this illuminating volume, David Gold and Catherine L. Hobbs...
Guiguzi"", China's First Treatise on Rhetoric (Landmarks in Rhetoric and Public Address)
by Hui Wu and C. Jan Swearingen
At around the same time that Aristotle was active in ancient Greece, many students in China, including Sun Tzu, who would later write The Art of War, were learning the techniques of persuasion from Guiguzi, "the Master of the Ghost Valley." This pre-Qin dynasty recluse produced what is considered the earliest Chinese treatise devoted entirely to the art of persuasion. Called Guiguzi after its author, the text provides an indigenous rhetorical theory and key persuasive strategies, some of which a...
The turbulent history of the United States has provided a fertile ground for conspiracies, both real and imagined. From the American Revolution to the present day, conspiracy discourse - linguistic and symbolic practices and artifacts revolving around themes, claims, or accusations of conspiracy - are commonplace. As theories are discussed, they colonize minds in a curious rhetorical process, one difficult to define precisely, but recognizable as a complex of persuasive discourse, language, symb...

The Declamations of Calpurnius Flaccus (Mnemosyne, Supplements, #133)
The excerpts from the Declamations of Calpurnius Flaccus (2nd century A.D.) are one of our major sources of knowledge concerning controversiae, model court speeches on fictitious themes. These formed the focus of Roman higher education and therefore had an enormous effect on Latin literary style and content from the late Republic on. They also contain important indirect evidence for contemporary social history. This book provides a general introduction to the work, a new Latin text, plus the fir...
Jane Passy's highly successful technique first came about through her work with children with severe speech and language disorders. Each of the 49 sounds (phonemes) that make up the English phonological system has a separate hand sign - related to where and how, in the mouth, the sound is made. The signs are logical and based on sound linguistic theory. The consonant sounds are colour-coded as an extra visual cue when doing written work. Cued Articulation and Cued Vowels are two companion texts...

Carl Wilhelm Salice Contessa: Schriften. Band 6
by Carl Wilhelm Salice Contessa
First published in 1987, this book examines mathematics school teaching from the perspective that it is a language — arguing that this can illuminate many events that occur in classes and highlight issues that may not have previously seemed important. The central concern is with the processes of communication as they are shaped by school conventions and the fact that it is mathematics being discussed. Speaking, listening, writing and reading are examined and analysed with the first half focusing...

Martin Buber's work suggests that real life begins with two individ uals engaged in dialogue, not just taking care of one's own needs as described in social Darwinism.Arnett argues that the end of the age of abundance demands that we give up the communica tive strategies of the past and seek to work together in the midst of limited resources and an uncertain future. Today's situa tion calls for an unwavering commitment to Buber's "narrow ridge" concern for both self and community.Arnett illustra...

Oratorical Culture in Nineteenth-Century America
by Gregory Clark and S.Michael Halloran
Gregory Clark and S. Michael Halloran bring together nine essays that explore change in both the theory and the practice of rhetoric in the nineteenth-century United States. In their introductory essay, Clark and Halloran argue that at the beginning of the nineteenth century, rhetoric encompassed a neoclassical oratorical culture in which speakers articulated common values to establish consensual moral authority that directed community thought and action. As the century progressed, however, mo...
