Abstract

ABSTRACT In comparative rhetoric, interconnectivity emerges as a frame to conceptualize power struggle, one that specifically counters othering and the underlying essentialist and colonial logics. Interconnectivity stands for a third space where difference and connection coexist and where interdependence characterizes the relationship among interlocutors. This essay addresses how to forge interconnectivity and argues for the rhetoric of according-with. According-with refers to a threefold act, namely, to navigate, use, and refigure established and emergent discursive circumstances. In re/contextualizing practices of according-with in China’s pre-Qin period and various other places and time, I specify resourcefulness and situatedness as two epistemes exercised by according-with. The rhetoric of according-with, then, nuances the particular doing-thinking-be(com)ing that disenfranchised people enact to reshape power differentials. The rhetoric of according-with functions as a critical apparatus to cultivate interconnectivity as one pathway toward subverting power.

关联性与权力颠覆:演绎“与”的修辞
摘要在比较修辞学中,相互联系作为一个概念化权力斗争的框架出现,它专门对抗他者以及潜在的本质主义和殖民主义逻辑。相互联系代表着第三个空间,差异和联系共存,相互依存是对话者之间关系的特征。本文论述了如何建立相互联系,并论证了符合的修辞。根据是指三重行为,即导航、使用和重塑既定和突发的话语环境。在对中国先秦时期及其他不同时空的根据实践进行重新语境化分析时,我将足智多谋和情境性作为根据实践的两种认识。因此,根据细微差别的修辞,特定的行动思维是被剥夺权利的人制定来重塑权力差异。符合的修辞作为一种关键的工具,将培养相互联系作为颠覆权力的一条途径。
