“…Bu yönelimlerin başlıca gelişmelerinden biri araştırmacıların nitel araştırma tekniklerini retorik çalışmalarında kullanmaları olmuştur (Middleton, Senda-Cook ve Endres, 2011, s. 386 Eleştirel retorik analizlerinde incelenen konuşmanın/metnin üretildiği koşullar, konuşmanın ortaya çıkarmaya çalıştığı anlamlar bakımından önemli görülmektedir. Middleton, Senda-Cook ve Endres (2011, s. 391-392), retoriği sosyal pratiğin bir parçası olarak gören bilim insanlarından (Bourdieu, 2005;Chouliaraki ve Fairclough, 1999;de Certeau, 2009;Fairclough, 2001;Rufo, 2003) hareketle, retoriği yalnızca metinle değerlendirmek yerine, metnin ve anlamın üretildiği maddi bağlamlar, toplumsal ilişkiler, kimlikler, bilinçler/anlayışlar ve anlamı üreten konuşmacılar ve dinleyiciler arasında birlikte inşa edilen (birbiriyle ilişkili) retoriksel eylemlerin bir birleşimi olarak değerlendirmek gerektiğini söylemektedir. Buradan hareketle, yakın zamanda retorik üzerine çalışan araştırmacıların benimsemeye başladığı, retoriği doğal ortamında (in situ) incelemeyi sağlayan katılımlı gözlem gibi yöntemlerin kullanıldığı retoriksel alan çalışmalarının, çeşitli özdeşlikler ve anlamlandırmalarla biçimlenen "güncel" retorik ("live" rhetoric) hakkında daha detaylı veri sağladığını vurgulamışlardır.…”

Rhetoric theory had pedagogical and functional meanings such as persuasion techniques and elocution in Ancient Greece, where it was born. Also known as the Classical Rhetorical Tradition, rhetoric theory continued to be influential for a long time adopting the same approach in Ancient Greece. In the 20th century, the development of anti-positivism in social sciences and the increase in the number of language studies led to certain transformations in rhetoric theory in terms of both its meaning and field-related issues. This new trend then referred to as the New Rhetoric has generated researchers who transformed the meaning of rhetoric from persuasion techniques to identification. The New Rhetoric Tradition, which emphasizes the necessity to take into consideration the moment and the context in which rhetoric is produced, has caused rhetoric analyses to spread to wider fields. This study addresses the theorization phases and basic characteristics of participatory critical rhetoric approach which enables the examination of rhetoric in its natural environment through the use of qualitative research methods in the field of New Rhetoric.

“…Wakefield 2006). Rhetoric engages the flow of power, a notion that has evolved in rhetorical studies from one grounded in liberalism, then to one based in the work of Michel Foucault and Louis Althusser, to approaches rooted in the ideas of Pierre Bourdieu and Michel de Certeau (Anderson 2005;Rufo 2003). It has been coupled with a reconsideration of Sophistic and Isocratean traditions of classical rhetoric that regard human society as a field of both competition and collective action.…”

Constituting Folklore: A Case for Critical Folklore Studies

This article argues for the development of a critical folklore studies through an interweaving of folklore and rhetorical theory. Following paths set by Roger Abrahams, Kenneth Burke, and Antonio Gramsci decades ago, and drawing upon more recent contributions by Ernesto Laclau and rhetorical critics, it considers folklore as a constitutive rhetoric, the act of which establishes a "folk"-and their adversaries-as a political category. Identifying three articulations of critical folklore studies, it calls upon folklorists to intervene against (rather than strictly analyze) oppressive power formations through the production of overt criticism and related counterhegemonic practices. In her contribution to the special issue of the Journal of American Folklore, "Common Ground: Keywords for the Study of Expressive Culture," Dorothy Noyes suggests for folklorists a remarkable task. "We must still deal with that problem," she writes, "of how an 'imagined community' can be worth dying for; unhappily, we must also understand how it can be worth killing for" (1995:466). More than a decade later, and with the global stage no less fraught with confrontation, her call remains strikingly relevant. If folklore-its performance, exhibition, and analysis-faces a crisis today, it may lie not simply in questions of its academic survival but in its critical contribution to the politics of interpretation and in addressing issues of conflict and power. And while many folklorists have urged our community in the recent past to move toward a deeper examination of the communicative maneuvers by which folklore informs political identities and hegemonic and hierarchical social orders, we have not done so by drawing a significantly closer relationship with a related field of research that has long addressed these concerns: rhetorical studies. This article will pursue such a collaboration in order to take seriously Noyes's lament, and Giovanna P. Del Negro and Harris M. Berger's exhortation to "embark upon a critical inquiry into the ways in which everydayness, expressivity, and practice itself are constructed by us and by the people and texts we study" (2004:22). Forty years ago, Roger Abrahams (1968a, 1968b) first presented an argument for an alliance between folklore and rhetorical studies. He renewed this position in his latest book, Everyday Life: A Poetics of Vernacular Practices, which analyzes and makes a case
