Summary |
"The second in a two-volume set, A Theory of Literate Action draws on work from the social sciences--and in particular sociocultural psychology, phenomenological sociology, and the pragmatic tradition of social science--to "reconceive rhetoric fundamentally around the problems of written communication rather than around rhetoric's founding concerns of high stakes, agonistic, oral public persuasion" (p. 3). An expression of more than a quarter-century of reflection and scholarly inquiry, this volume represents a significant contribution to contemporary rhetorical theory."--Open Textbook Library |
