The Allure of Rhetoric and the Truancy of Poetry

Abstract

This paper offers suggestions for new directions in PA Theory-four allures of rhetorical analysis. First, it points toward New Rhetoric and rhetoric as more than the twirl on the top of the chocolate cake. Second, it suggests a five-step quick-and-dirty technique for getting into rhetorical analysis to help PA thinking. Third, it recommends greater ownership of our individual signatures. Fourth, it suggests changes in our group signature. It suggests that PA theory should include at its center a playful study of the symbolic, especially of mutuality as it relates to people aiming toward patterns of cooperative public action.
