The tree of life is a central figure in Darwin’s Origin of Species in both verbal and visual forms. As one of the most powerful and pervasive images in biological thought, what conceptual and communicative work has it enabled? How have the visual qualities and elements of the tree form interacted with biological thinking over time? This paper examines the pre-Darwinian history of tree images, the significance of Darwin’s use of such images, and the development of tree diagrams after Darwin. This history shows evidence of four separate traditions of visualization: cosmological, logicalphilosophical, genealogical, and materialist. Visual traditions serve as rhetorical contexts that provide enthymematic backing, or what Perelman calls “objects of agreement,” for interpretation of tree diagrams. They produce polysemic warrants for arguments in different fields. The combination of the genealogical tradition with the cosmological and the logical changed the framework for thinking about the natural world and made Darwin’s theory of evolution possible; the later materialist tradition represents the “modernization” of biology as a science.}, number={2}, journal={Poroi: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Rhetorical Analysis and Invention}, author={Miller, Carolyn R. and Hartzog, Molly}, year={2020}, month={May}, pages={1–61} } @inbook{miller_2020, place={Anderson, SC}, title={A History of RSA in Ten Minutes}, booktitle={Reinventing Rhetoric Scholarship: Fifty Years of the Rhetoric Society of America}, publisher={Parlor Press}, author={Miller, C.}, editor={Mountford, Roxanne and Tell, Dave and Blakesley, DavidEditors}, year={2020}, pages={19–23} } @article{miller_2020, title={Exercising Genres: A Rejoinder to Anne Freadman}, volume={30}, ISSN={2563-7320}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.31468/cjsdwr.843}, DOI={10.31468/cjsdwr.843}, abstractNote={Anne Freadman’s engagement with Rhetorical Genre Studies (RGS) is informed, generous, illuminating, and provocative.

First is an essentialist argument, or argument from definition. The second type of argument is from circumstance. The Wisconsin series on the rhetoric of the human sciences provides material for exploring these issues concerning the relationship between science, rhetoric, and versions of history.

The chapter explores how the resistance to automated assessment can inform the current debate about the nature of rhetorical agency. Interaction is necessary for agency because it is what creates the kinetic energy of performance and puts it to rhetorical use. Agency is the property of a relationship between rhetor and audience.

However, Paul Lynch and Nathaniel Rivers’s 2015 collection Thinking with Bruno Latour in Rhetoric and Composition demonstrates how widely the appeal of his work has spread in recent years. I read this influence not as a fad for one scholar’s work but rather as an indication that we have all sensed a change in the temperature of late-modern argumentation and persuasion. Arguing in the anthropocene is qualitatively and quantitatively different than arguing in the Classical agora. Now, no matter which direction we turn, we find the forum crowded not only with human speakers of all stripes but also with an awesome flotsam of nonhumans: computer models, polar bears, FitBits, genes, Tweets, YouTube videos, viruses, cookbooks, nebulae, and iPhones. Whatever our area of research, things whine, clamor, and jostle us. And weary of squinting around them to try to make out the dim, dotted outline of the public sphere, we have finally started to look right at them. There is no doubt that Latour constitutes a major pivot in the materialist, postcritical, and post-humanist turns—for reasons amply explained in the Lynch and Rivers volume. My purpose in this introduction is not to rehearse that genealogy but rather to explain to readers who do not consider themselves invested in the material turn why they, too, may wish to attend to Latour’s most recent work and his thoughts on rhetoric. My argument lies in a symmetry half-revealed by the influence of Latour on new rhetorics: because even as rhetoricians are coming around to post-critical theory, those theorists (Latour among them) are coming around toward rhetoric. This rapprochement presents rhetoricians with an unprecedented opportunity to enter and shape the intellectual conversation about how best to live together in the anthropocene. To best demonstrate this meeting of minds, we should begin at the end, with Latour’s An Inquiry into Modes of Existence (AIME; modesofexistence.org), in part because Latour himself presents AIME as the culmination of his scholarly endeavors. In AIME he subsumes anthropology, sociology, and even philosophy under a new, prospective discipline he calls “diplomacy.” He does so, he says, because of the exigence of facing Gaia—his name, borrowed from James Lovelock, for our threatening and threatened anthropocene.

These terms are usually associated with science, to analyze biological and physical processes, and both carry entailments worth examining. What work does each model of change do and what work does each keep us from doing? When we adopt the language of evolution or emergence, what do we import to our conceptualization of genres, of large-scale rhetorical action, and of the rhetorical organization of culture? Evolution is anti-essentialist, while emergence allows for the phenomenology of essence; both are terministic screens in Burke’s sense and thus incomplete and partial. There may be no general conceptual model adequate to the variety of cultural phenomena and domains in which genres are of interest, but we can continue to learn by testing our observations of particular examples against these useful concepts.

What is at stake in such confrontations is rhetorical agency. In this article, an informal survey that asked teachers of writing and speaking about automated assessment informs an analysis of agency that contrasts writing and speaking along the dimensions of performance, audience, and interaction. The analysis suggests that agency can be understood as the kinetic energy of performance that is generated through a process of mutual attribution between rhetor and audience. Agency is thus a property of the rhetorical event, not of agents, and can best be located between the two traditional ways of defining agency: as rhetorical capacity and as rhetorical effectivity.

Miller The Rhetoric of RHETORIC: The Quest for Effective Communication. Wayne C. BoothMalden, Mass: Blackwell, 2004. Pp. xvi + 206. $20.95, paperback. By using the traditional word rhetoric I want to suggest a whole philosophy of how men succeed or fail in discovering together, in discourse, new levels of truth (or at least agreement) that neither side suspected before. —Wayne C. Booth, 1974 Listening-Rhetoric is what I most long to celebrate and practice—the kind that is sadly rare. . . . Here both sides join in a trusting dispute, determined to listen to the opponent's arguments, while persuading the opponent to listen in exchange. . . . Both sides are pursuing not just victory but a new reality, a new agreement about what is real. —Wayne C. Booth, 2004 By the evidence of these two quotations, the late Wayne Booth sustained a passionate interest in a constructivist, cooperative rhetoric for at least thirty years. His 1974 Modern Dogma and the Rhetoric of Assent first sounds many of the themes that are rearticulated in his 2004 The Rhetoric of RHETORIC, a volume in the Blackwell Manifestos series. Both books were motivated by evident failures of public discourse, the earlier one by those emanating from the Vietnam War, including student protests at the University of Chicago, and the recent one by multiple rhetorical sins of the Bush administration and the national media, especially those concerning the war in Iraq. Indeed, Booth confesses here that his distress dates at least to 1963, when he lamented that "the debate about the [Kennedy] assassination [may be] a greater national disgrace than the assassination itself" (109). What animates Booth in both books is the conviction not that only we can do better in conducting our discursive relationships as a nation, as institutions, as families, but that we must do so. We must do so because our ability to live and progress together depends on our talking rather than resorting to force and on our talking in a way that engenders trust and enables continued debate, rather than provoking mistrust and disrespect. The two enemies he has always in sight are violence and deception. These are two forms of rhetorical failure, but the two become entangled when "violence and the threat of violence corrupt rhetoric," particularly during times of war (118), and when corrupt rhetoric itself becomes a kind of violence (48). [End Page 261] As a "manifesto" addressed to a non-specialist audience, The Rhetoric of RHETORIC is relatively brief, engagingly written, and passionately argued. It includes chapters on definitions of rhetoric (good and bad), the history of rhetorical studies, the difficulties of judging rhetoric (i.e., the disjunction between instrumental and ethical effectiveness), the dispersal of rhetoric to multiple disciplines and forums, the condition of rhetorical education today, the dangers of bad rhetoric in politics and in the media, and a demonstration of how our many intractable debates might be improved with "listening-rhetoric," using as a case example the "warfare" between science and religion. Throughout, Booth dramatizes his ideal of listening-rhetoric by engaging in frequent proleptic questioning and refutation as well as reflexive commentary. Anyone who heard Booth talk at a conference within the past decade or more has first-hand knowledge of his predilection for neologism, and he indulged himself in this book (though he resisted in 1974; see Modern Dogma, 11n5). His term for bad rhetoric, the rhetoric that exacerbates misunderstanding or seeks victory through deception, is "rhetrickery"; his term for the best rhetoric, a kind of critical consciousness that seeks to find common ground and to remove misunderstanding, is "rhetorology." We are also introduced to LR (listening-rhetoric), WR (win-rhetoric), BR (bargain-rhetoric), Rhet-Ed (rhetorical education), P-Rhet (political rhetoric), and MR (media rhetoric). Rhetorology, or listening-rhetoric, is Booth's solution to our rhetorical woes, a solution that admittedly has both philosophical and practical limitations. Rhetorology opposes rhetrickery and some versions of win-rhetoric. He is at some pains to explain and sequester these damaging capabilities so that the unsavory aspects of rhetoric's reputation do not obscure its positive potential.

Controversy provides occasions and strategies for rhetoric. "Contrarianism is of the essence in rhetoric," according to Thomas Sloane (3), and he draws out its presence throughout the rhetorical tradition--in disputation, Ciceronian controversia, pro and con thinking, the dissoi logoi, the Erasmian via diversa, argument in utramque partem, and so forth. Burke puts the idea a little differently, emphasizing the divisions that make rhetoric necessary: "the Scramble, the Wrangle of the MarketPlace, the flurries and flare-ups of the Human Barnyard, the Give and Take, ... the Logomachy" (23). Although traditional views of science held that scientific method obviates controversy, more recent views put controversy at the center of scientific progress. (1) Karl Popper, for example, characterized science as "conjectures and refutations," reasoning that because we cannot verify a proposition by any number of observations, we instead conjecture, or "jump to conclusions" from a limited number of observations and then subject the conclusion to subsequent observations in an attempt to falsify or refute it. Thomas Kuhn described science as a sequence of activities, from normal puzzle-solving and the accumulation of anomalies to crisis and revolution, with controversy characterizing the last two of these. As Professor Goodnight notes, other STS scholars have emphasized the policy issues and public controversies that science and technology can instigate. Controversy thus can be seen both as an engine internal to science and as an external consequence of its epistemic innovations (and the artifactual innovations of technology) as they diffuse beyond the forums and enclaves of the scientific community and the skunk-works of technological RD lawsuits and public hearings open the files; disagreements between experts disturb the seamless surface of unquestioned facts; competition between proprietors or between products challenges culturally embedded technical systems. But Professor Goodnight means to point out more than these possibly commonplace notions about how controversy makes the rhetorical study of science and technology possible. Controversy, he emphasizes, also is the persistent condition that makes such studies useful and important, both in understanding the continuing operations of modernity and in addressing critical public problems. In what follows, I offer some observations based on two recent studies of my own that substantiate some of Professor Goodnight's contentions and suggest some additions to his agenda. I've looked in some detail at the nuclear power controversy of the 1970s and at the more recent controversy about the biological effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMFs) ("Presumptions"; "Novelty"). The early controversy over nuclear power is represented in the 1975 Reactor Safety Study, also known as the Rasmussen report, prepared for the Atomic Energy Commission. Now understood as the first real risk analysis, it was begun in anticipation of Congressional controversy over the renewal of the Price-Anderson Act, which protected electric utilities from liability in the case of a nuclear reactor accident. The report, however, did little to quell controversy, but rather became a subject of controversy itself, both inside and outside the expert community. In one sense, this controversy was lost by the experts to public opinion and economic conditions: although the Price-Anderson Act was renewed in late 1975, nuclear power became a moribund technology, with no new plants ordered after 1978 and all 41 orders placed after 1973 canceled or rejected by state regulators. (3) In another sense, however, experts prevailed in making the risk analysis methods of the Rasmussen report the basis for decision making in a large number of other areas of science-based controversy. …}, number={1}, journal={Argumentation and Advocacy}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Miller, Carolyn R.}, year={2005}, month={Jun}, pages={34–37} } @inbook{miller_2004, title={A Humanistic Rationale for Technical Writing}, booktitle={Teaching Technical Communication}, publisher={Bedford/St. Martin’s}, author={Miller, C.}, editor={Dubinsky, James M.Editor}, year={2004}, pages={15–23} } @inbook{miller_shepherd_2004, place={Minneapolis}, title={Blogging as Social Action: A Genre Analysis of the Weblog}, booktitle={Into the Blogosphere: Rhetoric, Community, and Culture of Weblogs}, publisher={University of Minnesota Libraries}, author={Miller, CR and Shepherd, D}, editor={Gurak, Laura and Antonijevic, Smiljana and Johnson, Laurie and Ratliff, Clancy and Reyman, JessicaEditors}, year={2004} } @inbook{miller_2004, title={Expertise and Agency: Transformations of Ethos in Human-Computer Interaction}, ISBN={1570035385}, booktitle={The Ethos of Rhetoric}, publisher={Columbia, S.C.: University of South Carolina Press}, author={Miller, C.

This alternative tradition inheres in a canon of works somewhat different from the standard canon, and an examination of key works organizes most of the chapters in this book. To establish and articulate this tradition in the classical era, Kastely examines Plato's Gorgias and Meno, Sophocles' Philoctetes, and Euripides' Hecuba; he then moves to the modern era, and to two works that address themes central to ancient rhetorical skepticism: Jane Austen's Persuasion (1818) and Jean-Paul Sartre's What Is Literature?

In the rhetorical thought of the sophists, Plato, and Aristotle, the polis stands as a presupposition that was both fundamental and troublesome. Various relationships between the faculty of speech and the social order are revealed in different tellings of the history of civilization by Protagoras, Plato, and Aristotle, as well as in more formal discussions of rhetoric and politics. These ancient disagreements about the nature of community can help us reformulate the current debate between liberalism and communitarianism. A rhetorical community as a site of contention can be both pluralist and normative.}, number={3}, journal={RHETORICA-A JOURNAL OF THE HISTORY OF RHETORIC}, author={MILLER, CR}, year={1993}, pages={211–240} } @misc{miller_1993, title={The Rhetoric of Science, and: Persuading Science: The Art of Scientific Rhetoric}, volume={1}, ISSN={1080-6520}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1353/con.1993.0016}, DOI={10.1353/con.1993.0016}, abstractNote={Reviewed by: The Rhetoric of Science, and: Persuading Science: The Art of Scientific Rhetoric Caroline R. Miller Alan G. Gross, The Rhetoric of Science. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1990. vii + 248 pp. $29.95 Marcello Pera and William R. Shea, eds., Persuading Science: The Art of Scientific Rhetoric. Canton, Mass.: Science History Publications, 1991. xii + 212 pp. $39.95 “If there are no universal and precise methodological rules, how do scientists, during a theory-change, come to convince or convert their community to a new theory or way of seeing the world?” “We take rhetoric as the art of persuasive argumentation; we thus aim at debating its role, nature, limits as well as efficacy” (Pera and Shea, pp. 99, 173). With this question and proposition, selected historians and philosophers of science were invited to an international conference in Naples on science and rhetoric. Even as these scholars were presenting their papers in June 1990, Alan Gross’s book was being printed. These two volumes, one the result of a gathering of minds, the other the result of one person’s [End Page 279] efforts over a period of time, can serve to signal the arrival of rhetorical studies of science as a distinct intellectual program, and together they provide an introduction to the issues, methods, and insights that rhetoric offers to the more general critical examination of science. The two volumes are similar, not only in their basic agendas, but also in several other revealing ways. Both are essentially collections of essays—separate studies, separately conceived—rather than extended or integrated arguments. Both feature a few central figures in the history of science, who are now seen as definitively revolutionary: Copernicus, Galileo, Bacon, Descartes, Newton, Darwin, Einstein. Both make Aristotle the central figure in their theory of rhetoric: in Pera and Shea, Aristotle has more index citations than anyone else, and the editors see the work in the volume as a “return to Aristotle” (p. x); Gross calls Aristotle’s Rhetoric his “master theoretical text” (p. 3) but acknowledges that Aristotelian rhetoric can use some updating (p. 18). These similarities are perhaps a bit surprising from a disciplinary perspective. Alan Gross, a professor of English, has been studying and writing about scientific rhetoric for some ten years—while all the contributors to the other volume are historians and philosophers of science, most of whom have come only recently to an interest in rhetoric and at least one of whom (Richard S. Westfall) confesses himself an amateur: “I have never formally studied the discipline of rhetoric... when I speak of ‘rhetoric’ I employ a wholly intuitive, common sense understanding of the word” (p. 107). Pera and Shea’s collection of ten previously unpublished essays is divided into two equal sections, the first group making the general case about the relevance of rhetoric to science and the second group providing more detailed study of specific cases, with a heavy emphasis on the seventeenth century. As a whole, the collection demonstrates the great advantage that historians can bring to the study of scientific rhetoric—that is, their rich and detailed knowledge of specific figures, texts, events, and their relationships. The essays in the first section, although they claim nothing that will be new to rhetoricians, may have an interesting persuasiveness for those who are not familiar with rhetorical approaches to science: they serve as unsolicited testimonials. Readers with some background in rhetoric will find the second group of essays by far the more informative and illuminating: Richard S. Westfall describes the differences between the audiences that Galileo and Newton addressed, suggesting that Galileo had to create an audience, which then existed for Newton; Shea shows that Descartes, who forswore rhetoric, cannot be understood without the aid of rhetoric; Peter Machamer characterizes seventeenth-century scientific rhetoric as person-centered, or perspectival, a quality that Newton’s achievements ended; Maurizio Mamiani shows that Newton used similar strategies in his attempts to create certainty in the Opticks, the Principia, and his interpretation of the Apocalypse; and Gerald Holton demonstrates that two papers in twentieth-century physics (by Bohr and Einstein) can be understood as dramas or conversations among several actors: the scientist playing out his...}, number={2}, journal={Configurations}, publisher={Project MUSE}, author={Miller, Carolyn R}, year={1993}, pages={279–282} } @inbook{miller_1992, place={Carbondale, IL}, title={Kairos in the Rhetoric of Science}, ISBN={0809315319}, booktitle={A Rhetoric of Doing: Essays on Written Discourse in Honor of James L.

These individuals have been largely banished from our scholarly articles and our textbooks-which are populated primarily by such cardboard figures as the expert, the technician, the customer, and the executive.

The decrease results from an action of irradiated medium on the cells, and a similar reaction is observed during the incorporation of thymine (indication of DNA synthesis) and of proline and valine (indicative of protein synthesis). Irradiated medium reduces the formation of β-galactosidase but does not cause the degradation of DNA. }, number={3661}, journal={Science}, publisher={American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)}, author={Pollard, E.
