Res Rhetorica 4/2016 : RHETORIC AND INSTITUTIONS

A democratic public sphere requires its institutions to be transparent 
and accessible to the public, However, the interests of administrators 
and of citizens are not always aligned. Powerful interest groups, 
ideologues and bureaucracies can perpetuate dominance and mystify 
divisions under the guise of institutional or organizational culture. 
Specific rhetoric is usually mobilized to achieve such purposes. But 
rhetoric, or rhetorical criticism, may also be used to expose the 
paradoxes, abnormalities and abuses within institutional discourses.
Tracing good and bad practices of institutional discourse has always 
been within the scope of rhetorical scholarship. The 4/2016 issue of Res 
Rhetorica will be devoted to exploring historical and current trends in 
institutional rhetoric and offering rhetorical criticism of 
institutional discourses in various domains of public life.
