Martin Luther King's I've Been to the Mountaintop oration is examined as a significant instance of the rhetorical use of existing narrative as an inventional and argumentative strategy. The narrative functions both as a redescription of situation and as an example for political action. These functions correspond to formal characteristics of narrative form, and suggest that such narratives simultaneously display elements of both metaphor and illustrative parallel.

Dead Poets Society offers a critical opportunity to investigate linkages between political expression and dramatic form. The film text combines comic and tragic structures in unusual ways, reflecting a contemporary political orientation toward institutions and social conformity. The analysis suggests that comedic “vertigo” is central to Dead Poets Society and other texts, and that this mechanism is a form of political expression and therapy for some contemporary American audiences.

Important historical changes in public virtue are chronicled in a seemingly unlikely source, etiquette manuals. A careful consideration of these texts reveals that public virtue has been historically exteriorized, from an original sense of foundational values, to an intermediary sense of public appearances, to a postmodern condition in which public virtue is merely another “means of persuasion.” I describe the historically grounded meanings of “virtue” that appear in etiquette manuals, and then explore the implications of this historical reconfiguration of virtue for public discourse.

Tarnished political figures de‐legitimize the roles, values, and political spectacle they represent. Jim Wright's resignation as Speaker of the House serves as a case study in de‐legitimizing rhetoric which postures the form of Burkean redemption. Wright's attempt at a rhetoric of propitiation fails when he refuses to admit blame, seeking instead to be the “blameless” goat of redemption for a polluted Congressional scene.

When William T. Sherman marched from Resaca to Savannah, the battle and home fronts in Georgia merged into a scene of death, destruction, sacrifice, and criticism. To accommodate their losses, Confederates first expressed disillusionment, clashed along socioeconomic lines, and converted to more powerful initiatives. Then, in the heat of battle, they forged an ideology of ascension from which they formulated oratorical arguments deployed during Reconstruction, the New South, and twentieth century for self‐interests. By gilding defeat, they rendered the intolerable politically and economically correct. By disinfecting their war stories, southerners pardoned themselves.
当威廉·谢尔曼(William T. Sherman)从雷萨卡(Resaca)向萨凡纳(Savannah)进军时，格鲁吉亚的战场和后方战线融合成了死亡、破坏、牺牲和批评的场景。为了适应他们的损失，邦联首先表达了幻灭，沿着社会经济路线发生冲突，并转变为更强大的倡议。然后，在激烈的战斗中，他们形成了一种提升的意识形态，并以此为基础，在重建时期、新南方时期和20世纪为自身利益制定了雄辩的论点。他们粉饰失败，使不可容忍的事情在政治上和经济上变得正确。通过淡化他们的战争故事，南方人原谅了自己。

General Douglas MacArthur's acclaim for oratory stems from epideictic or occasional addresses which articulate well audiences’ extant attitudes. Yet his more influential discourse was deliberative, during the Korean War, persuading opposing Joint Chiefs of Staff to approve the Marines’ landing at Inchon. Explication of this event suggests how oratorical prowess affected a pivotal military decision more than professional estimates offered in those deliberations.

This paper reports a study of state‐communication apprehension and uncertainty as they relate to each other and as they relate to information‐seeking and confirmation of relational predictions in initial, dyadic interactions. A two‐group design with an additional control group was used to test for the effects of pretests and tests given midway through initial dyadic interactions (two, 8‐minute interaction periods). Given that these effects were not obtained, the research hypotheses were supported. Results indicated that state‐communication apprehension was related to uncertainty and both of these phenomena were related to information seeking and confirmation of positive relational predictions. Also, both apprehension and uncertainty were found to decrease over the two time periods spent in continuing initial interactions.

Since its telecast on Edward R. Murrow's documentary series See It Now, “The Case of Milo Radulovich” has been seen as “symbolizing” the problems of McCarthyism. This essay questions “how” the text “comes to stand” for the victims of McCarthyism and argues that the appeal of the program may be traced to the set of representations at its center. This essay suggests one way a documentary text finds persuasive appeal via the particular case.
自从在爱德华·r·默罗(Edward R. Murrow)的纪录片系列节目《现在就看》(See It Now)上播出以来，《米洛·拉杜洛维奇一案》就被视为麦卡锡主义问题的“象征”。本文质疑文本“如何”“代表”麦卡锡主义的受害者，并认为该计划的吸引力可以追溯到其中心的一系列表现。本文提出了纪录片文本通过特定案例找到有说服力的吸引力的一种方式。

This paper is a descriptive analysis of publication rates and citation patterns in organizational communication articles published in fifteen communication journals between the years 1979–1989. Results revealed that (1) approximately six percent of all articles addressed organizational communication, (2) the three journals that published the greatest proportion of organizational communication articles were Management Communication Quarterly, The Southern Communication Journal, and Human Communiction Research, and (3) sources most frequently cited are from three disciplines—communication, management, and psychology. Implications of these findings for the practice of organizational communication research are discussed.

This study examined the visual structuring of the 1988 debates between George Bush and Michael Dukakis, focusing on moments of clash where the advocates engaged in statements of attack and defense. Three conclusions are advanced: televised shot sequences employed to visualize clash in the debates (1) misrepresented the incidence of verbal clash, (2) gave preference to ad hominem attacks as a verbal cue for a cut to a reaction shot, and (3) offered opportunities for nonverbal refutation of opposing arguments. Visual messages in these “cuts” to reaction shots altered the verbal content of the speaking candidate. In short, what viewers saw was punctuated by changes in camera shots that transmuted the process of argument in the debate.
