Session Description:

Using studies of Asian and American rhetorics, the presenters offer a framework to address challenges confronting comparative scholarship: moving beyond paradigms of sameness and difference, spanning national boundaries, considering how scholars are positioned in sociohistorical contexts, fostering communication across cultures, and revising Greco-Roman, Euro-American, and orientalist biases.

Subjects:

• General Literature – Rhetoric and Rhetorical Theory

• Asian Literatures
