Attention and the rhetoric of social intervention

Abstract

Following a lead from Edwin Black and developing further Brown's doctrine of attention‐switching in the maintenance of a community's ideology, this essay amplifies the nature of rhetorical attention‐shifting, relates instances of it to social intervention, and characterizes and partially exemplifies the form of rhetorical gestalt‐switching.
