Michael Osborn on Metaphor and Style
The Post-Racial and Post-Ethical Discourse of Donald J. Trump
In 2008, when Barack Obama became the 44th president of the United States, many heralded the arrival of a post-racial era. Some were cautious, others seemed to throw caution to the wind, but there was a widespread appreciation, or anticipation, that something new was happening with regard to the role of race in U.S. politics. Daniel Schorr, for example, on National Public Radio’s (NPR’s) All Things Considered, reported that “post-racial” was “the…
Double-Consciousness and the Rhetoric of Barack Obama
X , M alcolm (1925–65)
Malcolm X was one of the most significant orators of the twentieth century. He was a Muslim, a black nationalist, and a fierce advocate of racial equality. The interplay between his oratory and his biography reveals a restless evolution, from petty criminal to key spokesperson for Elijah Muhammad's Nation of Islam to influential global race leader.
An Uneasy Peace
An unexpected Nobel Peace Prize placed Barack Obama in a difficult position. He was, after all, commander-in-chief of a military currently engaged in two wars, one of which many felt was unjustified. The doubled rhetoric through which Obama managed this situation forecast the strategy he deploys in his Nobel Lecture itself: he invites his audience to attend to war and peace neither as wicked nor ideal but as realistic y interdependenty and indeed…
The Cambridge Companion to Malcolm X
Malcolm X is one of the most important figures in the twentieth-century struggle for equality in America. With the passing of time, and changing attitudes to race and religion in American society, the significance of a public figure like Malcolm X continues to evolve and to challenge. This Companion presents new perspectives on Malcolm X's life and legacy in a series of specially commissioned essays by prominent scholars from a range of disciplin…
Unity and Duality in Barack Obama's “A More Perfect Union”
Faced with a racialized political crisis that threatened to derail his campaign to become the first African American president of the United States, Barack Obama delivered a speech on race titled “A More Perfect Union.” He begins by portraying himself as an embodiment of double consciousness, but then invites his audience to share his doubled perspective, and finally models a doubled mode of speaking and acting that is captioned by the well-known…
Irony, Silence, and Time
Frederick Douglass's oration, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" is a rhetorical masterwork of irony. It illustrates a strategy for enlisting the liberatory potential inherent in the detached and multiple perspective of irony without allowing that detachment to culminate in political impotence. The speech accomplishes this through opening before its audience the expansive visual and temporal spaces in which irony thrives, then collapsing …
Colonizing the Borderlands
In the last year of his life, Malcolm X was faced with the task of crafting a viable public voice while remaining unfettered by existing ideologies. In a speech he delivered less than a week before he died, Malcolm addresses this task by repeatedly shifting the scene within which he asks his audience to define themselves. He explores the possibilities and the limitations of both the domestic and international scenes, and finally invites his audie…
Put on a happy face
This essay uses the psychological framework of Carl G. Jung as an interpretive lens to view Batman, the 1989 movie. Gotham City is suggested to represent a contemporary, collective dream; the psyche is scene. To be an effective crime fighter in this city, Bruce Wayne must actively cultivate schizophrenia. The integration of the psychic elements represented by the Joker is necessary for the psychological health of both Gotham and Wayne/Batman, but…
