Ideology’s Absent Shadow
We have been asked to engage in a conversation about the current role of ideology—as critique, as rhetoric, as a framework within which academics operate. Our approach will not seek to write the history of rhetorical critique from an ideological perspective, nor work from extant literature as one might in a traditional research essay. Still, we reference ideas emanating from that literature; instead of the normal “source citation in text,” we wil…

Venomous Speech
Venomous Speech: Problems with American Political Discourse on the Right and Left “offers a pessimistic view of political discourse to match the pessimistic political atmosphere in which it is writ
Research in Rhetoric” Revisited
This essay begins with a brief review of past research in rhetorical theory and criticism. Attention then turns to an examination of two present issues—big rhetoric and the critique of postmodernism—that influence rhetoric's prospects. The essay closes with a consideration of the vibrancy and vitality represented by recent scholarship in the Quarterly Journal of Speech. The diversity and sophistication of current scholarship bode well for rhetori…
English or perish
This paper discusses the positionality of English in South Korea as a form of symbolic capital that represents the discursive power of Americanism and East Asian Social Darwinism. By employing Bourdieu's and Foucault's theoretical orientations, this paper traces how South Korean linguistic policies to incorporate English loan words coincide with South Korea's struggle to face its historical challenges from a pre-modern to a modern postcolonial so…
Rhetorical studies as reduction or redescription? A response to Cherwitz and Hikins
En novembre 2000, Cherwitz et Hikins proposait une critique de l'integrite intellectuelle des principales lignes de recherches en rhetorique contemporaine, qualifiant l'attitude des chercheurs de provinciale. Les As. proposent une reponse a cette critique, insistant sur l'ambiguite des termes utilises et non expliques par Cherwitz et Hikins, et tentent de determiner si la pratique de la recherche en rhetorique se definit comme une redescription o…
Critical rhetoric in a postmodern world
Critical rhetoric
This essay sets forth a theoretical rationale for a critical rhetoric and presents eight "principles"; which, taken together, orient the critic toward the act of criticism. The theoretical rationale encompasses two forms of critique, styled as a critique of domination and as a critique of freedom. Both have in common an analysis of the discourse of power as it serves in the first case to maintain the privilege of the elite and, in the second, to …
The historiographical dilemma in Myrdal's American greed
In An American Dilemma (1944), the Swedish economist Gunnar Myrdal argued that race relations in America would improve because the American Creed, democratic liberalism, created a dilemma between existing racial practice and the national ideology. The resulting dilemma, he argued, disposed white America to gradual, progressive change. Not only did Myrdal's value‐laden sociology find its way into American jurisprudence through footnote 11 to Brown…
