Rhetoric as a perspective on perspectives can make us aware of what Burke called our "terministic screens"

We argue that rhetoric and art can equip us for dealing with such complexities

a more limited material that might be representative of human ways

The third ability for Nussbaum is to have a "narrative imagination"

The second ability for Nussbaum is to be able "to see oneself as a member of a heterogeneous nation

Nussbaum's arguments can be read as a plea for the revival of the humanities

being able to argue and take part in public debate seems to be an essential ingredient of a healthy democracy

We argue that rhetoric as a scholarly discipline and practice offers an important perspective to engage with a contextualized approach

a clear and unproblematic definition of citizenship

E.D. Hirsch highlighted the importance of cultural literacy--as "the oxygen of social intercourse"

aim to move away from a straightforward definition of citizenship in general and civic literacy in particular by developing a rhetorical framework

I come from cultural rhetorics before Cultural Rhetorics. We all do. That's because we come from stories,

What I found were stories. Stories conjoin communities, cultures, rhetorics, literatures, and literacies

we hold up cultural rhetorics as a field that encourages communication across differences, locations, spaces, and conversations with respect, reciprocity, and accountability

How we treat these stories matter as much as how we treat each other.

I view cultural rhetorics as a space where communal practices like stories are valued as homegrown, community-centering, and land-based theories

By asking researchers to consider their own cultural positionalities in storying their relationality to the communities they write about, cultural rhetorics renders visible what colonialism tries to hide

the "hubris of the zero point" meaning a colonial epistemological position that renders itself the voice of a neutral, objective reality

rhetorics are "always-already cultural" and that cultures are "persistently rhetorical,

so that we may practice relationality and accountability,

making research and teaching accountable first to communities, rather than the academy

This diversity suggests that the work of prioritizing emplaced stories over universalizing theories brings cultural rhetoricians together
