Readings on Rhetoric and Performance

by Stephen Olbrys Gencarella (Editor), Phaedra C. Pezzullo (Editor)

This volume explores the new conceptual issues and cultural insights emerging at the intersection of rhetoric and performance studies. Twenty essays from the scholarly literature cast new light on communication practices and forms that educate and inspire people, create ideas and public controversy, and arouse political action. Introductions to the volume and each of the five sections guide student reading by identifying key themes and placing them in their social and scholarly contexts.
