Hi, and welcome to the ENGW 4341 wiki, soon to be RhetorClick. We are students of Dr. Quinn Warnick's Current Theories of Rhetoric and Composition class (and Quinn himself, of course), and we hope to build a functioning wiki for current rhetorical theories.
What are current rhetorical theories? We all feel like we probably know what a current rhetorical theory is, but let's set some guidelines. A current rhetorical theory is:
- discourse pertaining to rhetoric
- written during the 20th century and later
Examples of a current rhetorical theories would be Richard Weaver's "The Cultural Role of Rhetoric," Roland Barthes' Death of the Author, and Douglas Brent's Rogerian Rhetoric
We hope to create a powerful, usable, and open index for these ideas.
