Publications resulting from the International Rhetoric Culture Project will be published in the Berghahn Books Series STUDIES IN RHETORIC AND CULTURE.
Editors are Ivo Strecker, Stephen Tyler and Robert Hariman.

 

Berhahn Books' introduction to the series:
Our minds are filled with images and ideas, but these remain unstable and incomplete as long as we do not manage to persuade both ourselves and others of their meanings. It is this inward and outward rhetoric which allows us to give some kind of shape and structure to our understanding of the world and which becomes central to the formation of individual and collective consciousness. This series is dedicated to the study of the interaction of rhetoric and culture and focuses on the concrete practices of discourse in which and through which the diverse and often also fantastic patterns of culture – including our own - are created, maintained and contested.

During the past, the program and schedule of the series have experienced many changes. But now we are confident that at least two books will be launched in 2009, and that others will follow suit. Below are titles and editors of the volumes as they stand at the moment:
