After all, only humans can use language artfully to make a point, the very definition of rhetoric. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Yet when you look at ancient and early modern treatises on rhetoric, what you find is surprising: they're crawling with animals. With \u003ci\u003eRhetoric in Tooth and Claw\u003c\/i\u003e, Debra Hawhee explores this unexpected aspect of early thinking about rhetoric, going on from there to examine the enduring presence of nonhuman animals in rhetorical theory and education. In doing so, she not only offers a counter-history of rhetoric but also brings rhetorical studies into dialogue with animal studies, one of the most vibrant areas of interest in humanities today. By removing humanity and human reason from the center of our study of argument, Hawhee frees up space to study and emphasize other crucial components of communication, like energy, bodies, and sensation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on thinkers from Aristotle to Erasmus, \u003ci\u003eRhetoric in Tooth and Claw\u003c\/i\u003e tells a new story of the discipline's history and development, one animated by the energy, force, liveliness, and diversity of our relationships with our \"partners in feeling,\" other animals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Debra Hawhee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226706771\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDebra Hawhee\u003c\/b\u003e is McCourtney Professor of Civic Deliberation and professor of English and communication arts and sciences at Pennsylvania State University.
