Gilbert Austin's "Chironomia" Revisited
Sympathy, Science, and the Representation of Movement
Publisher: Southern Illinois University Press
Authors Sara Newman and Sigrid Streit study Irish educator, clergyman, and author Gilbert Austin’s theoretical system and consider how Austin’s efforts to incorporate movement and integrate texts and images intersect with present-day interdisciplinary studies of embodiment.
Jean Baudrillard
The Rhetoric of Symbolic Exchange
Publisher: Southern Illinois University Press
Jean Baudrillard, a French social theorist and critic often associated with postmodernism, has not yet been studied as a rhetorician. Brian Gogan demonstrates here how the histories, traditions, and practices of rhetoric prove central to Baudrillard's use of language.
Paul Ricoeur
Tradition and Innovation in Rhetorical Theory
Publisher: Southern Illinois University Press
This is the first book to systematically explore contemporary continental philosopher Paul Ricoeur's contribution to modem rhetorical theory.
Chaim Perelman
Publisher: Southern Illinois University Press
This accessible book examines the philosophical foundations of Chaim Perelman's rhetorical theory. In addition to offering a brief biography, it explores Perelman's deep philosophical commitments and his concern for the ways in which the details of actual texts realize those commitments. The authors show that Perelman still reigns supreme when it comes to the elucidation of actual texts. His is a micro-analysis of arguments, one that is endlessly suggestive of ways of analyzing texts at the level of the word and phrase, the arrangement of parts, and the structure of arguments.

Thomas De Quincey
British Rhetoric's Romantic Turn
Publisher: Southern Illinois University Press
Thomas De Quincey’s rhetorical theory offers a point of entry for considering how nineteenth-century concerns about social change lead to the transformation of classical rhetorical principles.
