Renea Frey: The Theory, History, and Practice of Parrhesia, Gebunden

Blurb

This book examines the theory, history, and practice of parrhesiäthe act of speaking truth to power, when doing so is risky for the rhetor and argues for a networked rhetorical approach to parrhesia that has not been considered previously by any other theorist. The goal of this book is to offer a reader-friendly explanation of this networked rhetorical approach to parrhesia, provide a genealogical account of the origins of parrhesia in the Classical age, and to show how parrhesia manifests today. This book is meant to give readers a functional manual for understanding, recognizing, analyzing, articulating, and using parrhesia.
