Capital as the lens that Bourdieu Pierres through: Public relations,social theory,and rhetoric

In this paper, I explore the limitations of Bourdieu’s “capital” with the help of Burke’s four master tropes: metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, and irony. Both Bourdieu and Burke were concerned with theoretical reductionism. I claim that Bourdieu could not help but be reductive insofar as his metaphor of capital became the totalizing lens through which he understood society. First, I review Bourdieu’s forms of capital, noting how capital serves as the sine qua non of his theory of practice. Second, I situate Bourdieu within the PR literature. Third, I read Bourdieu’s “capital” through Burke’s (1941) four master tropes. Reading Bourdieu through Burke enables PR scholars to better understand the limitations in Bourdieu’s terminology, which leads to debunking, materialist reductionism, and relativism. I conclude with implications for future research adopting Bourdieusian and Burkean approaches to public relations.     

宪法的修辞：变迁着的公民身份及其表述方式

公民是自由、平等地参与公共生活,并同时统治和被统治的人。在古希腊,公民就是一个政治的人,宪法直接与公民关联;在近代西方,通过让渡和保留自然权利的社会契约,一个自然的人成为一个法律的人并在法律之下组织政治生活,权利成为公民与宪法的纽带;屈辱中走向近代化的中国,要将臣民构建为公民需以国民为介,与人民相对,以责任和道德为落点,这段复杂而独特的过程中,公民的表达词汇与叙述结构的变迁映现出了中国宪法的特质。

名词动用转义的隐喻思维及其修辞审美效应

名词动用是一种隐喻性的思维过程。名词动用的转义修辞价值通过转义的方式来认识世界和传达意见。语义的扩展、衍生、引申的过程使句子达到一种不拘形式而精练、生动的修辞效果和审美效应。词语在转义过程中潜在信息蕴含得越丰富,审美信息量就越大。
