Abstrakt

Niniejszy esej proponuje przyjęcie pluralistycznej koncepcji „lokalnych retoryk”. Tradycyjne ujęcia lokalności zwykle poprzestają na traktowaniu jej jako płaskiej przestrzeni lub tła sytuacyjnego dla retoryki lub dyskursu, a w najlepszym przypadku jako wymiaru kontekstu wpisanego w model sytuacji retorycznej. Historia użycia terminu „lokalny” – z jego konotacją stałości, nieruchomości, dookreślenia przestrzennego – przyczyniła się do zaniedbania rozważań teoretycznych z jego użyciem w badaniach retorycznych. A tymczasem użycie „lokalności” w praktyce retorycznej rozwinęło się zgodnie ze zwrotem ku metodologiom terenowym. Opierając się na pracach terenowych na temat retoryczności miejsc katastrof w celu zapoczątkowania refleksji teoretycznej, niniejsze studium proponuje konceptualizację retoryk lokalnych, która jest konstytuowana przez wiele ontologii i teorii retorycznych. W eseju omawia się podejście retoryczno-topograficzne jako orientację metodologiczną, która może integrować istniejące teoretyczne i metodologiczne ścieżki dociekań na temat wielowymiarowej retoryczności tego, co lokalne.
