Rhetorical Citizenship and Public DeliberationAuthor(s): Christian Kock, Lisa Villadsen\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Pennsylvania State University Press, United States\nImprint: Pennsylvania State University Press\nISBN-13: 9780271053882, 978-0271053882\nSynopsis\nCitizenship has long been a central topic among educators, philosophers, and political theorists. Using the phrase rhetorical citizenship as a unifying perspective, Rhetorical Citizenship and Public Deliberation aims to develop an understanding of citizenship as a discursive phenomenon, arguing that discourse is not prefatory to real action but in many ways constitutive of civic engagement. To accomplish this, the book brings together, in a cross-disciplinary effort, contributions by scholars in fields that rarely intersect. \n\nFor the most part, discussions of citizenship have focused on aspects that are central to the liberal tradition of social thoughtthat is, questions of the freedoms and rights of citizens and group.
