Culture, Catastrophe, and Rhetoric: The Texture of Political Action: 7 (Studies in Rhetoric and Culture, 7) - Hardcover

"... an excellent collection and a fitting contribution to both the Rhetoric + Culture series and to the field as a whole... The range and inventiveness of methodological innovations in the volume is one of its primary strengths." * Michael Kaplan, Baruch College, City University of New York "This is a splendid collection, coherent and framed in two magisterial overviews, and so is greater than the sum of the parts. It has the capacity to enhance the subtlety and clarity of argument in the study of politics and political action across a wide variety of sites in today's world. Both of the key ideas, the texture of political action and the primacy of catastrophe over revolution in today's world, are very well argued and richly illustrated throughout." * Michael Carrithers, Durham University
