Master's Thesis at the University of Basrah Examines the Rhetorical Agent in Contemporary Rhetorical Approaches
A master's thesis at the University of Basrah examined the rhetorical agent in contemporary rhetorical approaches.
The thesis, presented by student Kadhim Ali Khudhair, aims to examine the concept of the rhetorical agent, revealing its form, function, and role. It utilizes four contemporary rhetorical approaches: "argumentation rhetoric," "audience rhetoric," "critical rhetoric," and "virtual digital rhetoric."
The thesis includes three chapters, in which the student discusses the concept of the "rhetorical agent" as an arguer; the rhetorical response and critique of hegemony—the discourse of the resistant agent; and rhetorical agents in virtual society.
