The Interstices of Meeting: Martin Buber, Rhetoric, and the Dialogic Tradition

Griffin, Joseph Wyatt

Abstract Details

2010, Master of Arts, Miami University, English.
This paper seeks to expand a limited understanding of traditional rhetoric by first examining key figures from the rhetorical cannon for areas of their theory that might be underrepresented or reductively interpreted. The paper also outlines distinctions between ‘monologic’ and ‘dialogic’ rhetoric, surveying various contributors to what might constitute a dialogic tradition. This paper also presents Martin Buber as a unique contributor to a dialogic rhetorical ethic—focusing closely on Buber’s theories of dialogue contained in his I and Thou—and supplements these analyses with theories of communication ethics presented by scholars from a variety of disciplines.
