Rhetoric, Culture, and Social Critique
Rhetoric, Culture, and Social Critique consists of scholarship that sits at the juncture between rhetoric and cultural studies, with an eye toward the enactment of productive social criticism and critical social theory. Books in this series explore and exploit the historical, critical, and theoretical points of contact between rhetoric, media, and performance in a variety of cultural, cross-cultural, and transnational contexts and in a critical mode that extends and crosses interdisciplinary boundaries.
