A Rhetorical Stance on the Archives of Civic Action

Thomas P. Miller ; Melody Bowdon

Abstract

Contextualizes the rhetorical archive and moves beyond composition to the traditions of civic discourse, classical rhetorical theory, and moral philosophy. Wonders what kind of archive of actual historical practices would enable rhetoricians to confirm or qualify the existence of a genuine tradition of civic discourse.
