The definition goes as follows: \u201cRhetoric is the art of elaborating or exploiting ambiguity to foster identification or division.\u201d The chapter develops the meaning of rhetoric, art, elaboration, exploitation, identification, and division, modeling a process that anyone can follow with their own definitions of this or any complex concept. In the end, you should see rhetoric as more than \u201cmere rhetoric\u201d or \u201cthe art of persuasion.\u201d You will learn to see rhetoric\u2019s presence in all situations that involve people using words and images to teach, delight, persuade, or identify and divide. You will also learn the value of rhetorical listening for understanding the social, cultural, and plural nature of identity and, thus, our capacity for identification (or division) across contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternate Downloads:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also download this chapter from Parlor Press or WAC Clearinghouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Writing Spaces is published in partnership with&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.parlorpress.com\/\">Parlor Press<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/wac.colostate.edu\/\">WAC Clearinghouse<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Blakesley Volume 5 Chapter Description This essay presents a working definition of rhetoric, then explores its key terms to help you understand rhetoric\u2019s nature as both an applied art of performance and a heuristic art of invention and creation.1 The definition also situates rhetoric in the social processes of identification and division.
