On the Disappearance of the Rhetorical Aura.

Farrell, Thomas B.

Western Journal of Communication, v57 n2 p147-58 Spr 1993

Explores the way the doctrines of would-be academic humanists intersect with the political world of struggle and scarcity. Argues that the academy has become consumed by a debilitating doctrine: the textualizing of politics, where attitude is all, where everything is preliminary and little ever gets done. (SR)
