Book Description
Back Cover copy
"This is perhaps the most interesting and innovative (inventive) book on rhetorical invention I've encountered since Deleuze's What Is Philosophy? Muckelbauer not only contributes to but also fundamentally alters the conversation on this topic. He manages something that is almost nonexistent in the field--to read (to follow textual traces, openings, potentialities) rather than simply to interpret. Most studies in rhetorical invention, until now, have been mired in a host of humanist presumptions about the thinking/inventing subject--this work offers a serious challenge to that approach, not by arguing with it but by performing something very different." -- Diane Davis, author of Breaking up [at] Totality: A Rhetoric of Laughter
"This book contains a wealth of inventive approaches to important issues in both postmodern theory and the field of rhetorical studies. Muckelbauer argues for and offers an original style of engagement with these issues that transforms scholarly discourse on invention." -- Bradford Vivian, author of Being Made Strange: Rhetoric beyond Representation --Ce texte fait référence à l'édition Relié .
