The Battles of Texas: Adjuncts, Composition, and Culture Wars at UT Austin, by Nate Kreuter and Mark Garrett Longaker
One of the surprises of the history of higher education in the United States is that, after World War II, when the undergraduate project could have moved wholly in the direction of specialized knowledge and technical job training, it did not. Instead, the 1940s and 1950s were a golden age for “general education,” common coursework for students’ holistic development. Few disciplines benefited more from this state of affairs than did English; at ma…
Permanent Crisis: The Humanities in a Disenchanted Age , by Paul Reitter and Chad Wellmon
Permanent Crisis addresses a common misconception: that the humanities were devalued or displaced by the rise of modern science. Rather, as Paul Reitter and Chad Wellmon argue, “the modern humanities were not a casualty of the modern university and specialization—they were a product of them” (52). The social and historical developments of the nineteenth century that led to the foundation of the new, specialized German university in Berlin in 1809…
Archiving Our Own: The Digital Archive of Rhetoric and Composition at the University of Texas at Austin, 1975–1995
As the discipline of rhetoric and composition engages archival studies, we must not only theorize and narrate primary-source research, but also build archival exhibits. Describing our effort to construct a digital exhibit of primary source material relevant to the history of writing instruction at the University of Texas at Austin 1975–1995 (RhetCompUTX, rhetcomputx.dwrl.utexas.edu), we explain how this project speaks to current historiographic d…
Rhetoric’s Renaissance
Market Affect and the Rhetoric of Economic Debates
Scholars studying the rhetoric of economics have long agonized about how economic arguments work. Early studies, by Deidre McCloskey and Arjo Klamer, applied traditional methods, such as metaphor analysis or discourse studies, to explain how social science persuades. Later studies, by Ronald Greene and James Aune, took a wider sociological view, trying to see how economic arguments ideologically overwhelm. But these early works accepted rhetoric’…
Thomas Malthus’s Rhetorical Political Economy
David Ricardo and his followers forged rational argumentation and empirical verification into the discipline of classical political economy. Thomas Malthus distinguished his own view of the discipline from Ricardian social science by prudentially applying his rationally derived and empirically verified models to complex historical circumstances. He theorized this addition in the second edition of his Essay on the Principle of Population, refined …
Precarious Rhetorics
OUR COLLEC TION has come together in the midst of the rise of the global Right.It will likely be received and circulate in a global context wherein this ascendency has been consolidated through an entrenched hard-right populism, marked by xenophobia and racialized social orderings, and characterized by nativist, heteronormative, hypermasculine, and heteropatriarchal leadership styles and structures.Such structures are apparent in the authoritaria…
The Political Economy of Rhetorical Style: Hugh Blair's Response to the Civic-Commercial Dilemma
Recent scholarship treats Hugh Blair's Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres (1783) as an effort to endorse either the liberal or the civic political traditions in eighteenth-century Scotland. This essay questions this orthodoxy by reading the Lectures, and in particular Blair's attention to considerations of rhetorical style, against their ideological and economic conditions and with a focus on how he seeks to adapt the civic political traditi…
