This book documents the intellectual property experiences of writing studies scholars and challenges naturalized ways of responding to intellectual property concerns.
This book offers new insight into the ways rhetorical educators' religious motives influenced the shape of nineteenth-century rhetorical education and invites scholars of writing and rhetoric to consider what the study of religiously-animated pedagogies might reveal about rhetorical education itself.
Through the analysis of over seventy films and thirty television series, ranging from "Shortbus" and "Poseidon" to "Noah's Arc" and Dawson's Creek, this title examines reoccurring narrative structures in popular media that perpetuate the extreme value placed upon 'young' gay male bodies, while devaluing health, aging, and longevity.

Historians of rhetoric have long worked to recover women''s education in reading and writing, but have only recently begun to explore women''s speaking practices, from the parlor to the platform to the varied types of institutions where women learned elocutionary and oratorical skills in preparation for professional and public life. This book fills an important gap in the history of rhetoric and suggests new paths for the way histories may be told in the future, tracing the shifting arc of women''s oratorical training as it develops from forms of eighteenth-century rhetoric into institutional and extrainstitutional settings at the end of the nineteenth century and diverges into several distinct streams of community-embodied theory and practice in the twentieth. Treating key rhetors, genres, settings, and movements from the early republic to the present, these essays collectively challenge and complicate many previous claims made about the stability and development of gendered public and private spheres, the decline of oratorical culture and the limits of women''s oratorical forms such as elocution and parlor rhetorics, and women''s responses to rhetorical constraints on their public speaking. Enriching our understanding of women''s oratorical education and practice, this cutting-edge work makes an important contribution to scholarship in rhetoric and communication.
This volume takes up rhetorical approaches to our primarily linguistic understanding of how names work, considering how theories of materiality in rhetoric enrich conceptions of the name as word or symbol and help explain the processes of name bestowal, accumulation, loss, and theft. Contributors theorize the formation, modification, and recontexualization of names as a result of technological and cultural change, and consider the ways in which naming influences identity and affects/grants power.
This volume explores a dimension of authorship not given its due in the critical discourse to this point-authorship contested. Each chapter focuses on particular instances in which authorship has been contested, demonstrating how theories about various forms of contested authorship play out in a range of events, from the complex issues surrounding peer review to authorship in the age of intelligent machines.
This book theorizes digital logics and applications for the rhetorical canon of delivery. Given its provocative and broad reframing of delivery, it provides original, robust ways to understand rhetorical delivery not only through a lens of digital writing technologies, but all historical means of enacting delivery, offering implications that will ultimately affect how scholars of rhetoric will come to view not only the other canons of rhetoric, but rhetoric as a whole.
