“…And another is how the readers and hearers of such claims should understand them. 16 The most substantive review of the conversation over what, unfortunately, became stylized as Big Rhetoric, is Edward Schiappa's re-examination of the controversy over rhetoric's "size" and "scope." 17 Big Rhetoric, in a nutshell, challenges the notion that that which has no boundaries, hence applies to everything, is thereby rendered useless as a discriminating variable.…”

“…EID&A: Como conclusão desta entrevista e a respeito do artigo "Research in Rhetoric" Revisited (2015), na parte em que citou David Zarefsky (2004), o senhor disse que uma questão significativa é se a retórica "pode ser aplicada a qualquer assunto, ou se cada assunto pode ser reduzido a uma construção retórica", gostaríamos de saber a sua opinião sobre isso, já que esse referido artigo foi publicado há oito anos. Você ainda concorda com a conclusão de Schiappa ( 2001)?…”

Nesta entrevista, são destacadas a trajetória acadêmica do professor emérito Raymie McKerrow e alguns conceitos chaves na Retórica Crítica (RC), desde sua proposição até as publicações mais recentes. O percurso metodológico desta entrevista seguiu os seguintes passos: contato com o professor para obter a anuência em participar da entrevista e estabelecimento de trocas de correios eletrônicos a fim de articular perguntas e respostas. Nesse diálogo, houve a oportunidade de discutir o perfil multidisciplinar dessa vertente retórica e a importância da teoria de poder de Foucault para a formulação dos conceitos de crítica da dominação ou da liberdade e a dialética do controle. Também é possível compreender a apropriação realizada pela RC para gerar mudanças nas relações sociais constituídas em sociedade. Finalmente, ressalta-se a relevância do trabalho do autor, uma vez que ele estabeleceu as bases de uma nova perspectiva retórica nas ciências da linguagem e nos estudos da comunicação.

“…EID&A: As a final conclusion for this interview, and regarding the article "Research in Rhetoric" Revisited (2015), where you cited David Zarefsky (2004) by saying that one significant question is whether rhetoric "can be applied to any subject, or whether every subject can be reduced to a rhetorical construction", we would like to ask you your thoughts about it since this mentioned article was published 8 years ago. Do you still agree with Schiappa's conclusion (2001), and if so, would you mind explaining it.…”

This interview highlights the academic career of the Professor Emeritus Raymie McKerrow and some key concepts of Critical Rhetoric (CR) since its proposition until his most recent publications. The methodological steps of this interview were as follows: a first contact with the teacher to obtain his acceptance to carry out the interview and the constant emails exchange in order to elaborate questions and answers. In this dialogue, there was a chance to discuss the multidisciplinary outline of that rhetoric perspective and the importance of Foucault’s theory of power for the formulation of the concepts of critique of freedom or domination, and the dialectic of control. Furthermore, it is possible to understand the appropriation done by CR to generate changes in the social relationships built in society. Finally, it is pointed up the significance of the author’s work since he established the basis of a new rhetorical perspective.
