BEYOND THE NAMES OF THE PEOPLE |

| Authors: | Elizabeth A Povinelli |
| Abstract: | This essay scrutinizes the theoretical foundations of Laclau's notion of rhetoric and the rhetorical. It juxtaposes to Laclau's reliance on Saussurean linguistics, especially its elementary vocabulary of the signifier and signified, a model of rhetoric based on non-linguistic and linguistic modes of rhetoric and interpretation. |
