Title

Alternative Rhetoric And Morality: Writing From The Margins

Abstract

This article explores the need for alternative rhetorics that address systemic marginalization in American society and in the practice of rhetoric and composition. Specifically, three concepts from queer theory-intersectionality, copresence, and disidentification- are used as a basis for defining an alternative rhetoric. Then, in the bulk of the article, Gloria Anzaldúa's Borderlands/La Frontera is examined to illustrate what engaging in alternative rhetoric from a marginalized cultural position may mean in practice.
