Abstract
With the help of the extended pragma-dialectical theory, this
paper aims to analyze how Al Aswany, an Egyptian political columnist who argued
in favor of the feasibility of democratization before the Arab Spring,
maneuvered strategically by argumentation from example in two of his columns in
supporting the standpoint that the Egyptian people had become no longer
politically inactive. The analysis is conducted in view of the institutional
preconditions of political columns and the specific rhetorical exigency a
columnist may face in this specific argumentative situation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Argumentation in Context aims to publish high-quality papers about the role of argumentation in the various kinds of argumentative practices that have come into being in social life. These practices include, for instance, political, legal, medical, financial, commercial, academic, educational, problem-solving, and interpersonal communication. In all cases certain aspects of such practices will be analyzed from the perspective of argumentation theory with a view of gaining a better understanding of certain vital characteristics of these practices. This means that the journal has an empirical orientation and concentrates on real-life argumentation but is at the same time out to publish only papers that are informed by relevant insights from argumentation theory.
