Retrospective On Latin@ Rhetorical-performance Scholarship: From 'chicano Communication' To 'latina/o Communication?'

摘要

This essay is a retrospective of Latina/o rhetorical and performance scholarship in which relevant themes and directions from the past 30 years are discerned. Identified are four periods beginning in a stage of recognition, progressing to integration, marked by a. (re)turn and currently at re-politicalization. Within these periods two areas have been made explicit, namely, "Chicano communication"and "Latina/o communication" which I argue are parallel endeavors pursuing different yet complementary objectives thai participate in reconstitution.
