Cursed with Self-Awareness”
In this essay I argue that the popular baseball film/romantic comedy Bull Durham works against heteronormative viewing by infusing its scenes with an ironic sensibility that is both feminist and key to a gay male understanding of gender paradox. I rhetorically analyze the ways in which the film both reinscribes masculinity and encourages spectators rhetorically to identify with the female lead, Annie Savoy, thus modeling new possibilities for cha…
The spiritual power of repetitive form
Using Rustling's (1993) description of the mythic struggle between Power, Other, and Spirit, and Bakan's (1966) discussion of agency and communion, I examine the rhetorical structure of the 1993 film Groundhog Day. In the film, viewers are given a practical guide toward achieving wholeness and transcendence. This particular type of transcendence is unusual in contemporary film because the male protagonist undergoes a mystical feminine initiation …
The Fine Texture of Enactment
This essay describes a theory of enactment and its specialized form, iconicity. Whereas enactment involves rhetors serving as living proof of the claims they make, iconicity occurs in the details of a message's texture, when the text enacts and reinforces its own meaning. I analyze passages from Angelina Grimké's Pennsylvania Hall Address to demonstrate how iconicity works to acknowledge, dramatize, and critique oppression, and simultaneously to …
Metaphorical transcendence
Franklin Delano Roosevelt's First Inaugural Address is a prime example of a speech that used metaphor to transcend a recurring rhetorical problem. Roosevelt's twofold task was first to calm, then activate the American people. In service of these conflicted goals, Roosevelt merged two metaphoric clusters, religious and military, into a powerful and familiar image of “holy war,” which drew its strength from the nation's civil‐religious traditions. …
The Nature and Correlates of Conversational Sensitivity
People differ in their sensitivity to what happens during conversations: Some individuals enjoy listening to social exchanges, pick up hidden meanings in conversations, can generate optimal ways of saying things in interactions, and are generally "savvy" about the different sorts of power and affinity relationships exhibited in conversations. In this article we explore the nature and correlates of conversational sensitivity. People high in sensit…
