Enslaved Africans’ Rivalry with White Overseers in Plantation Culture
Conventional wisdom about the Old South excludes slaves from the ranks of plantation overseers. However, a preference for restrictive types of evidence and a race-sensitive system for assigning titles in plantation culture raise questions about the accuracy of conventional wisdom. Reexamining conventional scholarship and supplementing it with slave narratives and legal resources suggest that slaves served as overseers more frequently and more com…
The nature and limits of slave insolence in the American south
A special mode of resistance, insolence, forced the Southern gentry to acknowledge a unique power among slaves: their speech. This essay (1) explains the lasting significance of the gentry's efforts to suppress slave speech, (2) recounts the elements of insolence according to ancient and modern authorities on rhetoric, and (3) illustrates how slaves suffered for using this discursive tactic effectively. The nature and limits of slave insolence il…

A Machiavellian perspective on the rhetorical criticism of political discourse
In his major and minor works, Niccolo Machiavelli composed distinctive guidelines for analyzing situation, audience, and credibility. These principles underscore the value of harmonic technique, a blend of art and nature, in rhetorical discourse. Machiavelli also affirmed this principle by applying them critically to Renaissance political discourse aimed at arbitration, apologia, and exhortation. This essay argues that a Machiavellian perspective…
A Machiavellian Paradigm for Diplomatic Communication
Obscurantism in ancient Hellenistic rhetoric
Rhetoricians have historically been compelled to consider the pragmatic role of intentional obsurity in human communication. This essay examines the highly cohesive directions for obscurantist style in the works of three Hellenistic critics: Demetrius Dionysius of Halicarnassus, and Longinus. Aristides’ encomium To Rome is analyzed briefly to illustrate rhetorical practice which parallels the ancient obscurantist theories
The martial “virtue” of rhetoric in Maghiavelli's art of war
Machiavelli's humanistic apprehension of manly virtue generally suggests his intellectual debt to classical rhetoric. The substance, placement, and form of Machiavelli's arguments in the Art of War specifically indicate his consciousness of traditional rhetorical methods and comprise a Renaissance commentary on the ideal union of wisdom and eloquence
Rhetorical enterprise in the ministry of “reverend Ike”
Current evangelical efforts at synthesizing spiritual and secular problem‐solving represent religious manifestations of “rhetorical enterprise"—a shrewd combination of content and delivery which fosters a symbiotic relationship between source and receiver (ministry and follower). This essay suggests a critical methodology for assessing the goals, methods, and precedents of rhetorical enterprise. A case study of the Reverend Frederick J. Eikerenko…
