Brian, I still love this topic, and I appreciate your proposal here, including this effective image here. Wow, it all works visually and aesthetically: the color, the font, the mirrored definitions. I studied it quite a long time – I envision this as the cover for the Kairos article! Along with the definitions, I really appreciate the examples you provide in your audio cast here. (Martin Luther?! Of course – brilliant: the disruption of the status quo, through use of rhetoric). I’m wondering if you’ve had luck finding/wrangling your sources, and/or if you’ve uncovered anyone who has also used this term. Either way, this project is really cutting edge, and I can’t wait to see where it takes you. Good luck! MC
Thank you for the feedback. I haven’t found any use of the term, and actually very little with the crosspoint of punk and rhetoric…at least in traditional sources. I have found a few archived graduate projects that look at rhetoric in the punk scene. Some of the concepts are present in interviews and in some of the autobiography materials I’ve access of people in the scene of the 70s/80s. It doesn’t seem like anyone comes straight out with it though. I’ve also explored more into some of the protest rhetoric idea and this seems to have more analysis.
Mostly though I feel like I’m sifting through history and current events searching for lost treasures (maybe misidentified or at least could be additionally defined as punk) …artifacts and examples that demonstrate the idea and the process I am trying to describe.
And there are plenty of music rabbit holes to go down.
