The Rhetoric of Agitation and Control

Second Edition

 

John W. Bowers, Donovan J. Ochs, and Richard J. Jensen

 

This insightful volume continues to provide readers with the basis for understanding the instrumental and symbolic acts underlying agitation and control. Scientific and humanistic methods of analysis have been combined to present the authors’ original themes and to analyze case studies. Students will assimilate a frame of reference that will sharpen their analytic skills and help them to specify the rhetorical ingredients used by agitators and establishments in their recipes for social change and social control.
