“…I appear to have provoked complaints that the Quarterly Journal of Speech should not have published ''Another Shooting in Cowtown'' (Benson 1981). Herman Stelzner, then editor of QJS, warned me when he accepted the piece (after first rejecting it, on the advice of his reviewers, and then changing his mind) that it might provoke some controversy 5 After the essay was published, Stelzner shared with me some of the letters of complaint he received from readers and reviewers, and though I heard indirectly that the essay had provoked disagreements around the discipline as to its merits, I heard almost nothing of it directly, though I remember hearing enough of it to suppose that I was not likely ever to be asked to edit another journal (I was wrong).…”

“…For readers new to this genre of work, I recommend Pete Simonson's (2010) gorgeous essay in this same journal, wherein he recounts a grueling but also enlivening tour of duty as an Obama campaigner in southwest Texas during the heavily contested Democratic Party primaries in February of 2008 (see also Benson, 1981). The piece merges heady rhetorical theorizing (in a decidedly gentle, non-theory wolf mode), gonzo journalism, astute political commentary, and endearing autobiographical confessions, all while expressing a sense of existential thrill.…”

Combining an overview of the history of communication scholarship with lessons learned from 20 years of experience as a prison abolitionist and peace activist, Hartnett argues that the discipline of communication can be enriched intellectually and made more politically relevant by turning our efforts toward community service, problem-based learning, and new means of collective scholarly production. Drawing from his personal experiences to address the consequences and opportunities of engaging in such work, Hartnett calls upon communication scholars to forego heroic narratives of triumph, instead focusing on what he calls ''joyful commitment,'' a Buddhist-inspired sense of seeking fulfillment via solidarity with others.For the past 20 years I have been venturing into America's prisons and jails to teach college-level communication classes and creative writing workshops; my strong impression is that the vast majority of my imprisoned students have been caged, in large part, because of their communicative illiteracy. The cycle is clear: trouble at home dovetails with trouble at school; getting pushed out of school and home leads to gang affiliation and underground means of moneymaking; those illegal occupations produce an array of dangerous situations that inevitably lead to violence;

“…Telefon görüşmeleri, stant çalışmaları, kapı-kapı oy isteme çalışmaları gibi çeşitli etkinlikler ve toplantılar içinde bulunarak gözlem yapan Simonson, McGee'nin (1975) "performatif eleştirellik" kavramından ve Benson'un öncü çalışmasından esinlenmiştir. Benson, 1981 yılında yayınlanan çalışmasında, ABD'de bir Kongre üyesi adayı için çektiği reklam filmleri sürecinde yaşadıklarını, oto-etnografik bir tarzda anlatarak eleştirisini yapmıştır.…”

“…Middleton, Senda-Cook ve Endres'in makalelerinde sıraladıkları nitel araştırma yöntemlerini kullanan bu alandaki çalışmalar, toplumsal hareketlerin eylemlerinden (Katriel, 1987;McCormick, 2003;Pezzulo, 2003;Sprain, Norton ve Milstein, 2009;Endres, Sprain ve Peterson, 2009;Garlough, 2012) çeşitli anma mekânlarının ürettiği retoriğe (Blair, Jappeson ve Pucci, 1991;Katriel, 1993;Dickinson, Ott ve Aoki, 2005;2006;Hasian ve Wood, 2010) ve çeşitli siyasal kampanyalara (Benson, 1981;Simonson, 2010) kadar farklı alanlara yayılmıştır. Bu çalışmalardan birkaçını örneklemek gerekirse, örneğin, Dickinson, Ott ve Aoki (2005), bir tarih müzesi olan Buffalo Bill Müzesi'nin beyazlık ve erkekliği yeniden ürettiği iddiasından yola çıkarak, mekânın retoriğini incelemişlerdir.…”

Rhetoric theory had pedagogical and functional meanings such as persuasion techniques and elocution in Ancient Greece, where it was born. Also known as the Classical Rhetorical Tradition, rhetoric theory continued to be influential for a long time adopting the same approach in Ancient Greece. In the 20th century, the development of anti-positivism in social sciences and the increase in the number of language studies led to certain transformations in rhetoric theory in terms of both its meaning and field-related issues. This new trend then referred to as the New Rhetoric has generated researchers who transformed the meaning of rhetoric from persuasion techniques to identification. The New Rhetoric Tradition, which emphasizes the necessity to take into consideration the moment and the context in which rhetoric is produced, has caused rhetoric analyses to spread to wider fields. This study addresses the theorization phases and basic characteristics of participatory critical rhetoric approach which enables the examination of rhetoric in its natural environment through the use of qualitative research methods in the field of New Rhetoric.
