The present book is unique in its focus on the call for nonanthropocentrism in rhetorical studies. Although there have been many hints in recent years that rhetoric is beginning to consider the implications of the animal turn, as yet no other anthology makes this its explicit starting point and sustained objective. Thus, the various contributions to this book promise to further the ongoing debate about what rhetoric might be after it sheds its long-standing humanistic bias.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the excellent collection Rhetorical Animals, Bjørkdahl and Parrish have collected a range of robust investigations on the persuasive capacities of animals. These chapters expand existing conversations on ethics, rhetorics, and materiality, while pointing to new directions for exploring intra-animal persuasions, human-animal relationships, and the biotic bases for persuasion. Further, the scholars assembled here trouble longstanding assumptions about what rhetoric is, how it functions, and who has access to it, all while being critical and personal in equal measure. -- Ehren Helmut Pflugfelder, Oregon State University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I: Expanding Boundaries – Internally\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Multiple Rhetorical Animals: Motivation and Fairness in a Paradigm of Rhetoric as Emotive Consciousness\u003cbr\u003eDavid Gruber\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: A Humanimal Rhetorics of Biological Materiality\u003cbr\u003eHayley Zertuche \u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Let’s Listen With Our Feet: Animals, Neurodivergence, Vulnerability, and Haptic Rhetoricity\u003cbr\u003eKelin Loe\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Human Boundary Seepage and Bacterial Rhetorics\u003cbr\u003eJennifer Saltmarsh \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart II: Expanding Boundaries – Externally\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: The Biotic Turn in Rhetoric: Ethical Internatural Communication as Suasory Peacebuilding\u003cbr\u003eEllen Gorsevski \u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: Towards an Ethological Rhetoric\u003cbr\u003eDustin Greenwalt\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: Beyond a Patriarchal Rhetorical Economy: Nonhuman Animals as Agents in Turkic Legends and Political Culture\u003cbr\u003eIklim Goksel\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8: Human, Dolphins, and Other People\u003cbr\u003eAlex Parrish \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart III: Further Expansion: Cross-Species and Across Cultures\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9: Learning to Howl: An Exercise in Internatural Abduction\u003cbr\u003eEmily Plec and Susan Hafen\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10: Touring the Sixth Persona: Dodos and the Rhetorical Effects of Missed Communication\u003cbr\u003eJake Dionne\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11: How Dogs (and Other Nonhuman Animals) Become Interesting)\u003cbr\u003eMarilyn Cooper\u003cbr\u003eChapter 12: How to Understand a Parrot’s Words and What You Can Learn from Him: Early Indian Writers on Animal Speech \u003cbr\u003eAndrea Gutierrez\u003cbr\u003eChapter 13: The Rhetoric of Nonanthropocentric Rhetoric\u003cbr\u003eBjørkdahl, Kristian","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49084036710743,"sku":"9781498558471","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781498558471.jpg?v=1725550848","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/rhetorical-animals-9781498558471","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
