Abstract
This response characterizes each of the articles in this special issue as instances of “hacking”—which is to say they create new historiographical approaches by getting inside established modes and subjects of rhetorical history, finding and exploiting their incongruities or vulnerabilities.
Notes
1. Here I am thinking of a 1989 article by Fan Shen about identity and language in a classroom setting, which gives careful consideration to the imagistic force of the Chinese language. See especially pp. 464–465.
2. For a consideration of Burke's “constitutions-behind-the-Constitution” see Olson's “Burke's Attitude Problem,” 2008.
3. Thomas CitationRickert (2010) is leading the way to bring OOP to rhetorical theory.
4. See especially Davis's chapter on agency, pp. 86–113.
5. This digital humanities question is very much alive in inquiries into history of rhetoric, as evidenced by the seminar hosted by the 2011 Rhetoric Society of America Institute on the matter of “Digital Humanities and the History of Rhetoric” led by Ned O'Gorman, Ekaterina V. Haskins, and Kathleen Lamp.
