PAMLA 2022 RHETORICAL THEORY PANEL
CALL FOR PAPERS
“Rhetorical Theory”
UCLA, November 11-13
Chair: Dr. Ryan Leack (USC)
Abstract
This panel will explore recent movements in rhetorical theory writ large, either in connection with or apart from composition theory and practice. Special attention will be given to proposals that engage with the conference's theme.
Description
In addition to expanding rhetoric’s disciplinary relations, this panel hopes to push rhetoric beyond persuasion—beyond rhetoric as purposeful action toward some given end, but also as reception, listening, responsivity, relationality, resonance, presence, aurality, and the like. In this way, the panel hopes to push rhetoric’s boundaries and find kinship in new frontiers beyond its disciplinary and historically sanctioned borders.
This panel invites papers which explore rhetorical theory in general, but prefers papers which relate rhetoric, specifically or generally, to the below topics:
Rhetorical listening
New/materialism
Quantum/physics
Atomism
Vitalism
Agential realism
Posthumanism
Empiricism
Object-oriented rhetoric
Object-oriented ontology
Reason and resonance
Affect theory
Abstract Deadline: July 10, 2022
Please Submit Abstract through PAMLA website:https://pamla.ballastacademic.com/Home/S/18424
* This panel has been approved by PAMLA, yet is contingent upon reception of 3-4 quality papers/presentations in the field of Rhetorical Theory.
