Speaking Matters: Liberation Theology, Rhetorical Performance, and Social Action

Carl G. Herndl ; Danny A. Bauer

Abstract

This article examines the rhetorical practice of liberation theology and how it has altered social relations of power in Latin America. Using the confrontational rhetoric of liberation theology as an example, we develop a rhetorical model that grounds postmodern theories of rhetorical performance in material relations to explain how marginalized or subaltern groups can effect social change.
