Electric rhetoric

Description:

"In Electric Rhetoric Kathleen E. Welch explores the profound changes in writing and discourse brought about by electronic forms of communication. To this end she integrates three related strands: the redeployment of classical Sophistic rhetoric; current literacy theories within rhetoric and compositions studies, including gender and race issues; and the inherently rhetorical nature of "screens" in relationship to writing and other communication technologies. Throughout the book Welch deals extensively with women's issues, which have played a particularly important role in the history of oralism."--BOOK JACKET.
