Who Says?: Working-Class Rhetoric, Class Consciousness, and CommunityWilliam DeGenaro University of Pittsburgh Press, 2007年1月21日 - 304 頁 In Who Says?, scholars of rhetoric, composition, and
communications seek to revise the elitist “rhetorical tradition” by
analyzing diverse topics such as settlement house movements and hip-hop
culture to uncover how communities use discourse to construct
working-class identity. The contributors examine the language of workers
at a concrete pour, depictions of long-haul truckers, a comic book
series published by the CIO, the transgressive “fat” bodies of Roseanne
and Anna Nicole Smith, and even reality television to provide rich
insights into working-class rhetorics. The chapters identify
working-class tropes and discursive strategies, and connect
working-class identity to issues of race, gender, and sexuality. Using a
variety of approaches including ethnography, research in historic
archives, and analysis of case studies, Who Says? assembles an
original and comprehensive collection that is accessible to both
students and scholars of class studies and rhetoric. |
