Abstract: Alongside Whately, Toulmin, Hamblin, and others, the names of Chaïm Perelman and Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca have become synonymous with the emergence of argumentation as a distinct field of study. In spite of this nearly universal recognition, however, it is striking that their theory of argumentation, presented in their 1958 magnum opus The New Rhetoric: A Treatise on Argumentation (hereafter Treatise), no longer stands out as a living project in the field. While many of Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca’s concepts remain influential, their claim of providing the groundwork for a general or systematic theory of argumentation through a philosophical rapprochement with rhetoric has, at best, been met with considerable ...

Abstract: In this article, we are interested in examining how rhetoric can be used to render ideas present in cognitive environments to enhance the effectiveness of cross-domain discourse—to reveal how we create a common argumentative space within which to engage in productive discourse with others. Such a discussion has important implications not only for the way we conceptualize cognitive environments but also for how the concept of cognitive environments can be employed to cultivate pluralistic discussions across academic, cultural, and political divides. Through this discussion, we hope to provide an account that advocates for the development of arguments drawing on shared experiences, perception, and knowledge within ...

Abstract: Motion [kinēsin], then, is both the same and not the same; we must admit that without boggling at it.The only answer is that we trace a path.Are we there yet' Are we there yet' Are we there yet'The state of movement is a question—of movement, in theory.What is movement, a movement, perhaps not least as the condition of arrival, an “original” beginning' Where does it come from' How does it work, in better and worse ways' To what does it lead—and why' If these standing questions remain open, there is also a chance that they are not questions at all, that they remain in some basic way beyond inquiry, precisely as they beg the question, as Giorgio Agamben has contended, of how “movement” remains “our unthought,” of the ...

Abstract: To consider the idea of movement, I take my departure from the axiom of Giambattista Vico, professor of rhetoric or Latin Eloquence at the University of Naples from 1699 to 1741: “Doctrines must take their beginning from that of the matters of which they treat” (1984, para. 314). From the inception of human experience, movement is an ever-present phenomenon. My question is this: How does movement come to be formed as an idea, as something that can be not only experienced but apprehended as an object of thought'One of the most widely known statements in early Greek philosophy is that of Heraclitus concerning our inability to step in the same river twice. It appears in Homeric Allegories: “We step and we do not step ... Read More PubDate: 2024-08-08T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: French prendre le maquis translates loosely as “taking to the hills.” Maquis is the main signifier of the French Résistance inside France (résistance intérieure), a movement against German occupation that began right after the defeat of June 1940 sealed by the armistice of 22 June 1940 and gained momentum after November 1942, when German armies seized control of the South, hence controlling the entirety of mainland France. The extraterritorial resistance of combatants were styled Free French, under the command of General de Gaulle, primarily based in London and later in the French provinces of nowadays Algeria, as well as in l’Empire (territories under colonial governance), vast areas across the globe that by and ...

Abstract: The state of movement can be translated into the resonance of resonance. In A Thousand Plateaus, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari (1987, 224) define a “state” as “a resonance chamber for all points.” Whereas “state” for Deleuze and Guattari may be received as a more political apparatus, as in the State, it is geobiopolitical for being molecular and molar, of the earth.If a state is a resonance chamber, the resonance is movement itself going all the way into the molecule. The molecule is always already in movement, vibrating within itself and its atoms. In Meeting the Universe Halfway, Karen Barad (2007) terms this movement “intra-activity” and describes it as essential for thinking anew about interactivity and the ...

Abstract: We often hear that we must combat procrastination and stop wasting time; we must take responsibility and act now! Yet even as we are urged to boost our metabolisms, to upgrade our phones, to switch to faster systems, to do more with less, and to shorten time to degree, we are also barraged by suggestions, such as power naps and online meditations, for slowing down. We are encouraged to slow down so as to speed up, that we may become more productive, more effective, more creative.It is no wonder that students race through readings, skim summaries, and regurgitate lectures, even as they use “Pomodoro techniques” or set their timers to look up from their screens every twenty minutes for twenty seconds twenty feet ...

Abstract: I have no way of telling you what I have in mind, for whatever proposition we put forward moves around and refuses to stay put where we establish it.Caught in a labyrinth of words, Euthyphro shares the fate typical for Socratic interlocutors of experiencing his statements moving around and refusing to stay put, mimicking the lifelike statues of Daedalus (Euth. 11b). Elsewhere in the Dialogues, Meno seeks a tether to anchor his definitions, understanding that only by this means can knowledge be acquired. The Platonic quest for fixed knowledge and the discourses that can express it, those that do not change, shrouds all these confusions. In the Euthyphro, the answer is a different movement drawn from a different ... Read More PubDate: 2024-08-08T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: In January 2023, Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida appointed a new group of trustees to the board of the New College of Florida, a small liberal arts college in the state’s public university system. Within a few weeks, the board—which included a majority of DeSantis appointees, including Christopher Rufo, a conservative activist best known for his advocacy of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law and his diatribes against what he calls critical race theory—had voted to remove the college’s president, Patricia Okker, and the board chair pledged to restructure the college and its curriculum from the top down. In April, five of the college’s assistant professors who had been approved to receive tenure were turned down by the ... Read More PubDate: 2024-08-08T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: This-here is the weave, and it weaves no boundaries.It is therefore the game of the world that must first be thought; before attempting to understand all the forms of play in the world.Derrida describes the priority of form over force as the inaugural gesture of Western metaphysics, the heirs of which will recognize its associated commonplaces: essence precedes transformation, nature precedes culture, identity precedes difference, and so on. It’s from this originary “plentitude without vibration, without difference” that movement somehow advenes, simplicity giving way to complexity, purity to contamination, timelessness to time and history. The nearly irresistible tale of a lost but potentially recoverable ... Read More PubDate: 2024-08-08T00:00:00-05:00
