Abstract This article applies Kenneth Burke’s concept of piety to an evaluation of nine recovery stories from members of four different 12-step fellowships. In this theoretical context, recovery can be explained as a process of adopting and remaking pious systems. All nine recovery stories follow a similar pattern: (1) identifying difference and similarity in the community; (2) letting go of old pieties; (3) adopting group piety; and (4) inventing and remaking individual systems of piety. This analysis investigates how individual and group pieties interact to strengthen or threaten individual recovery and group cohesion.

Abstract Rhetoric Re-View was established under the founding editorship of Theresa J. Enos and has been a feature of Rhetoric Review for over twenty-five years. The objective of Rhetoric Re-View is to offer review essays of prominent works that have made an impact on rhetoric. Reviewers evaluate the merits of established works, discussing their past and present contributions. The intent is to provide a long-term evaluation of significant research while also introducing important, established scholarship to those entering the field. This Rhetoric Re-View essay examines the long-term importance and impact of the 1982 MLA volume The Rhetorical Tradition and Modern Writing edited by James J. Murphy. Dedication: This Rhetoric Re-View essay is dedicated to the memory of James J. Murphy, who edited The Rhetorical Tradition and Modern Writing and, in addition to his impressive scholarship, served for many years on the editorial board of Rhetoric Review. Professor Murphy was 98 years old when he passed away shortly before Christmas 2021.

All in all, those involved in education are encouraged to read Black or Right for its emphasis on white institutional educational spaces and the potential of rhetorical reclamations and new ways of meaning-making. Future scholarship in antiracist rhetoric and pedagogy might build upon this work by employing Maraj’s open-source course materials to enhance antiracist practices and by encouraging further research on rhetorical reclamations of Black diasporic thought.

Abstract Martial arts organizations can become Foucaultian institutions that discipline and punish practitioner bodies to enact ideologies of violence. In this article, I describe how these institutions function by examining the rhetorical history of one specific martial art, Taekwondo. My analysis extends Hawhee’s examination of Ancient Greek athletics to include modern martial bodies and the associated non-Western rhetorical traditions underpinning these practices. Martial arts institutions operate in the following ways: (1) Invent traditions for rhetorical purposes, intended audiences, and desired effects; (2) produce discursive systems of control (like training manuals) to communicate institutional standards, expectations, and authorized methods of practice; (3) ascribe rhetorical/symbolic significance to body types and martial techniques; (4) and persuade global audiences through mass media and embodied performance.

Abstract This article examines how “crisis” declarations resonate within and reinforce a national imaginary that commonly configures the U.S.-Mexico border as under threat by migrants. Drawing on Karen Barad, the author approaches crisis declarations as phenomena produced via their entanglement with, and exclusion of, particular configurations of the border, a process that contributes to the ongoing sedimentation of “crisis.” The article specifically analyzes how a mix of digital practices and dominant understandings articulate a 2019 USA Today online project as being about an immigration and border “crisis” despite attempts by people involved to complicate crisis narratives.

The hashtag #BlackLinesMatter, with lines replacing lives , proliferates on social media among users who couch the tag in humor. The #Lines hashtag devalues the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement through implicit trivialization of the movement ’ s necessity and explicit microaggression toward issues of race. Through an accumulation of #Lines content, social media users disembody BLM and detract from the movement ’ s ability to demonstrate the harm done to Black individuals by systemic racism.

Abstract Based on survey responses from eighty-five scholars on the job market from 2013 and 2019, this article examines mentoring for the job market in rhetoric and composition and technical communication. Respondents indicate needs for job market mentoring; more transparency about the job market itself; and more extensive, integrated support throughout graduate programs. The article concludes with actions that can be taken to improve the job market experience in rhetoric and composition and technical communication programs.

Abstract The impact of written communication in ancient Athens, particularly the social consequences of literacy on an oral culture, has been a subject of keen interest among rhetoricians. This essay synthesizes current research on the impact of literacy in ancient Athens from a rhetorical vector. One of the principal observations discussed in this review of current research is that the alphabetic writing of oral discourse better enabled rhetors to invent and compose complex modes of oral argument and persuasion than the heuristics of orality alone.
