A Revolution in Tropes

Zusatztext

<span><span>A Revolution in Tropes</span><span> is a groundbreaking study of rhetoric and tropes. Theorizing new ways of seeing rhetoric and its relationship with democratic deliberation, Jane Sutton and Mari Lee Mifsud explore and display</span><span>alloisis</span><span> as a trope of difference, exception, and radical otherness. Their argument centers on Aristotles theory of rhetoric through particular tropes of similarity that sustained a vision of civic discourse but at the same time underutilized tropes of difference. When this vision is revolutionized, democratic deliberation can perform and advance its ends of equality, justice, and freedom. Marie-Odile N. Hobeika and Michele Kennerly join Sutton and Mifsud in pushing the limits of rhetoric by engaging rhetoric</span><span>alloiostrophically</span><span>. Their collective efforts work to display the possibilities of what rhetoric can be.</span><span>A Revolution in Tropes</span><span> will appeal to scholars of rhetoric, philosophy, and communication</span></span>
