Can television shows likeĀ Stranger Things, popular music by performers like Taylor Swift, advertisements for products like Samuel Adams beer, and films such asĀ The Hunger GamesĀ help us understand rhetorical theory and criticism?
TheĀ FourthĀ EditionĀ ofĀ The Rhetorical Power of Popular CultureĀ offers students a step-by-step introduction to rhetorical theory and criticism by focusing on the powerful role popular culture plays in persuading us as to what to believe and how to behave.Ā In every chapter, students areĀ introduced to rhetorical theories, presented with current examples from popular culture thatĀ relate toĀ the theory, and guided through demonstrations about how to describe, interpret, and evaluate popular culture texts through rhetorical analysis. Authors Deanna Sellnow and Thomas Endres provide sample student essays inĀ every chapter to demonstrate rhetorical criticism in practice.Ā This edition's easy-to-understand approach and range of popular culture examples help students apply rhetorical theory and criticism to their own lives and assigned work.
