摘要

摘要:1925年,赫伯特·维切尔斯出版了《口头文学批评》。许多人认为,这篇文章将成为修辞学和公共演讲学术研究的奠基文件。然而,同年,历史学家卡特·G·伍德森出版了《黑人演讲人及其演讲》,重点研究非裔美国人的演讲传统。在这篇文章中,通过思辨历史的方式,利用我神圣的想象力,我想知道,如果我们能把伍德森想象成挑战公共演讲和修辞实践的主导(纯白人)概念,那么另一种或思辨历史会是什么样子。通过特别关注伍德森在《黑人演讲人和他们的演讲》中的介绍,我认为,我们不仅会更早地了解非裔美国人公共演讲传统的丰富性和力量,更重要的是,我们开始将谁视为学者,我们所称的学术也会有所不同。我首先对这一点进行了研究,对伍德森的文本进行了审查,并密切关注引言,伍德森在引言中发展了他的演讲理论。其次,我考察了1925年至1960年间非裔美国人的修辞和公共演讲学术。最后,我提供了一个推测性的历史,如果我们将这些声音和他们的学术纳入公共演讲经典,我们本可以做什么,我们还能做什么。

My Sanctified Imagination: Carter G. Woodson and a Speculative (Rhetorical) History of African American Public Address, 1925–1960
Abstract:In 1925, Herbert Wichelns published The Literary Criticism of Oratory. By many accounts, the essay would become the founding document of the academic study of rhetoric and public address. However, in that same year, historian Carter G. Woodson published Negro Orators and Their Orations, which focused on the study of the African American oratorical tradition. In this essay, by way of speculative history and using my sanctified imagination, I wonder what an alternative or speculative history would look like if we can conceive Woodson as challenging the dominant (exclusively white) notions of public address and rhetorical praxis. By paying particular attention to Woodson's introduction in Negro Orators and Their Orations, I submit that not only would we have been introduced to the richness and power of the African American public address tradition earlier but, more importantly, who we start to see as scholars and what we call scholarship would be different as well.I examine this by first, offering an examination of Woodson's text, paying close attention to the introduction, where Woodson develops his theory of oratory. Second, I examine the African American rhetoric and public address scholarship between 1925 and 1960. Finally, I offer a speculative history of what could have been and what we can still do if we would include some of these voices and their scholarship in the public address canon.
