Beskrivning

Casting the Art of Rhetoric with Theater and Drama: Taking Center Stage explores rhetoric and theater as they relate to one another, developing the understanding of rhetoric as theory and praxis. This book addresses rhetorical themes and cultural resonances, as well as the oft overlooked symbiosis of rhetoric and theater. Rather than addressing audiences as either observers of rhetorical artifacts or theatrical performance, this work demonstrates the intersection of the two, which strengthens theatrical events and their cultural significance. Overall, the volume showcases the many ways in which an understanding of the relationship between rhetorical and poetic theories can benefit dramatic convention and the breaking thereof.

Recensioner i media

Spotlighting the ineluctable antistrophes between rhetoric and dramatic performance, Casting the Art of Rhetoric with Theater and Drama: Taking Center Stage showcases how the art of rhetoric and the rhetoric of art still have much to teach us. Hacker Daniels’s volume features a diverse troupe of trope experts and rhetorical critics who push the boundaries of rhetoric and theatre scholarship, offering readers illuminating anagnorises of the musical, political, legal, pedagogical, spatial, and religious stages of symbolic life. Bravo!
