| This project works to build a new understanding of rhetorical delivery from the experiences, stories, and documents of activists from Ingham County, Michigan. With little money or resources, activist stories of delivery show how rhetorical theory can grow out of a desire or necessity to change more with less. The broad range of experiences discussed by participants represent a wide range of organizations, such as MSU Students for Economic Justice, Movimiento Estudiantil Xicano De Aztlan, MSU Students for Peace & Justice, Lansing Direct Action!, and Amnesty International. Findings show that there are many new ways to expand the theoretical scope and utility of the fifth canon of delivery. Due to arcane Graduate School imaging and formatting standards, the author has chosen to remove all images from the library version of his dissertation. |
