This essay describes how “rhetoric” came to be written historically in relation to woman's body. It shows how rhetoric, etymologically linked with both woman and horse, was progressively “tamed” into a non‐threatening force, and also how rhetoric/woman/horse simultaneously has resisted this taming. Using a collage procedure to cut and paste textual fragments of writing about rhetoric, the essay constructs an archetypal narrative plot that proceeds tropologically—metaphorically, metonymically, synecdochically, and ironcially—to domesticate and unleash rhetoric/woman/horse.

While past examples of feminist rhetorical criticism have emphasized women as communicators, analysis of communication about women can illustrate the existence of recurring rhetorical strategies that devalue women. As an example, analysis of the situation comedy Murphy Brown illustrates how the program's female title character enacts a patriarchal interpretation of the excesses of liberal feminist ideology. Murphy Brown functions to reinforce the dichotomy between femininity and feminism that is an inherent problem of liberal feminism, demonstrating the need for greater critical attention to the range of feminist theories available for evaluation of rhetorical artifacts.

An organization's culture is captured and understood as text. The use of grounded theory serves as a basis for an interpretative narrative that provides researchers with a method for presenting the everyday dramas members find important in organizations. The story‐form captures scenic elements, action, and characters. The narrative presented here acts as a means of displaying the cultural dialectic, cultural strain, and cultural sub‐texts.

This study investigates connection and information adequacy power‐gaining communication strategies and their relationship to career success. Managers (N=258) selected by random probability procedures completed a mailed survey. Multivariate multiple regression analysis supported the relationship of connection and information adequacy power‐gaining communication variables to perceptual, attitudinal, and behavioral success indicators.

This essay advocates a message analysis approach to studying leadership processes. It is proposed that the motivating force underlying the behaviors prescribed by situational leadership theory (SLT) is the satisfaction of salient face wants. Triangulated methods were used to assess leadership message qualities. Researcher message codings and participants perceptions of message qualities were compared. Both data sources suggest that leaders’ messages cede more autonomy to followers as the latter gain job experience. There is also tentative evidence that followers give increasing priority to autonomy over time. The results for positive face support, however, are more ambiguous.

R. Frank
In his 1891 encyclical Rerum Novarum Pope Leo XIII forged an “antecedent genre” that set the terms for a century of Catholic rhetoric on social justice. This essay explains how Leo, bound by doctrinal constraints, tried to transcend the Church's longstanding conflict with modernism by using the natural law philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas.

This essay investigates the various narrative “logics” in the 18‐minute film that preceded Ronald Reagan's acceptance speech at the 1984 Republican National Convention. A close‐reading unravels the narrative and meta‐narrative structures of the film activated through ceremony and history. Viewers are invited to view the film as the story of the Reagan presidency (a personal narrative) and the story of a Western/American hero (a cultural narrative). These stories create an emotional experience that invites the audience to participate as celebrants and “everyday” heroes betstowing their blessing upon Ronald Reagan's bid for the presidency.

This essay employs C. G. Jung's theory of psychological types to analyze the psyche of the typical hero of the American frontier myth, and then examines the film Innerspace to determine how the hero adapts psychologically when confronted with the new frontier of the mind. It is argued that he acts rhetorically to transform the psyche into a material analogue of land‐based outer space, within which he conquers sources of evil while holding constant his own historically based psychological type.

T. E. Zorn
This paper reports a study of leadership and communication in small businesses. Recent scholarship on organizational leadership suggests the importance of social cognitive abilities and messages that accommodate followers’ perspectives. Thus the study attempted to integrate certain features of constructivist theory with transformational‐transactional leadership theory. Findings suggest that communication abilities such as construct system development and person‐centered message production may play important roles in leader‐follower interactions. Specifically, the results from this study suggest a moderate association between construct system development and three of the four factors purported to underlie transformational leadership, and insignificant relationships between construct system development and transactional qualities. Findings regarding the association between leadership qualities and person‐centered messages, and between person‐centered messages and evaluations of message effects, were mixed.

This study assesses the impact of individual differences in construct system development (cognitive differentiation and abstractness) on concern for, and strategic attention to, face wants in persuasive situations. Hierarchic regression analyses suggest a strong relationship between construct development and concern for face as evidenced in rationales for behavior. Actual use of more sophisticated face saving strategies also was strongly influenced by individual differences in construct development.
