Introduction: Citizenship as a rhetorical practice
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Preface/postscript › Research › peer-review
Citizenship has long been a keyword among educators, philosophers, and political theorists. Using the phrase "rhetorical citizenship" as a unifying perspective, this book aims to develop an understanding of citizenship as a discursive phenomenon in the sense that important civic functions take place in deliberation among citizens, and that discourse is not prefatory to real action but is in many ways constitutive of civic engagement. The book pursues this aim by bringing together, in a cross-disciplinary effort, contributions by scholars in fields that rarely intersect.
