Rhetorics of Names and Naming
Author : Star Medzerian Vanguri
Publisher : Routledge
Page : 232 pages
File Size : 30,77 MB
Release : 2016-01-29
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
ISBN : 1317436040
Book Description
This volume takes up rhetorical approaches to our primarily linguistic understanding of how names work, considering how theories of materiality in rhetoric enrich conceptions of the name as word or symbol and help explain the processes of name bestowal, accumulation, loss, and theft. Contributors theorize the formation, modification, and recontexualization of names as a result of technological and cultural change, and consider the ways in which naming influences identity and affects/grants power.
