In an age when rhetoric is empty and abundant, we are happy to announce the publication of the most recent volume in our series ‘Studies in Rhetoric and Culture’, offering in-depth analyses and a wider context.

Out Now:

The Rhetorical Emergence of Culture - edited by Christian Meyer and Felix Girke ISBN 978-0-85745-112-5 Hb $95.00/£55.00 (Available for $47.50/£27.50 until July 31^st)

Explores how culture emerges out of rhetorical action, out of seemingly dispersed individual actions and interactions. The contributors do not rely on rhetorical “text” alone but engage the situational, bodily, and often antagonistic character of cultural and communicative practices.

"n engaging, thought-provoking, and generative volume. Simultaneously wide-ranging and coherent, these essays explore the complex roles that rhetorical engagements - artful, resonant, and often transcending the solely verbal - play in shaping social life and the always emergent cultures at the heart of anthropological inquiry.”- Don Brenneis, University of California, Santa Cruz
