Writing and Cultural Influence: Studies in Rhetorical History, Orientalist Discourse, and Post-Colonial Criticism - Lahcen E. Ezzaher

Peter Lang Publishing | 2003 | ISBN 0820462098 | PDF | 147 pages | 10.3 MB

Appearing as the eighteenth volume in the Peter Lang series Comparative Cultures and Literatures, Writing and Cultural Influence: Studies in Rhetorical History, Orientalist Discourse, and Post-Colonial Criticism by Lahcen Ezzaher is an ambitious albeit slim book focusing on rhetorical influences between Eastern and Western cultures, ancient and modern. While the purview of the book extends outside of the field of rhetoric proper –encompassing topics germane to literature, linguistics, and critical theory – it especially contributes to the emerging field called comparative rhetoric. But unlike George Kennedy’s pioneering work in this field (Comparative Rhetoric: An Historical and Cross-Cultural Introduction, 1998), Writing and Cultural Influence might best be characterized as a revisionist history of rhetoric.
