Synopsis "Language and Power on the Rhetorical Stage (Routledge Studies in Rhetoric and Communication) (in English)"
Through a fusion of narrative and analysis, Language and Power on the Rhetorical Stage examines how theater can enact critical discourse analysis and how micro-instances of iniquitous language use have been politically and historically reiterated to oppress and deny equal rights to marginalized groups of people.Drawing from Aristophanes' rhetorical plays as a template for rhetoric in action, the author poses the stage as a rhetorical site whereby we can observe, see, and feel 20th-century rhetorical theories of the body. Using critical discourse analysis and Judith Butler's theories of the performative body as a methodological and analytical lens, the book explores how a handful of American plays in the latter part of the 20th century--the works of Tony Kushner, Suzan Lori-Parks, and John Cameron Mitchell, among others-- use rhetoric in order to perform and challenge marginalizing language about groups that are not offered center stage in public and political spheres.This innovative study initiates a conversation long overdue between scholars in rhetorical and performance studies; as such, it will be essential reading for academic researchers and graduate students in the areas of rhetorical studies, performance studies, theater studies, and critical discourse analysis.
