In the elections of 2018, Brazilians chose Jair Messias Bolsonaro, the first Far-Right candidate, to be the future President of Brazil. In a 28-year political trajectory, he changed political parties eight times. The constant change demonstrates his ability to use rhetorical devices and adapt to new appeals. The researcher of this work outlined Bolsonaro’s rhetorical rise, tested his rhetorical personae, “mito” and “Tropical Trump” based on the work of Ware in Linkugel (1982). No other...
Show moreIn the elections of 2018, Brazilians chose Jair Messias Bolsonaro, the first Far-Right candidate, to be the future President of Brazil. In a 28-year political trajectory, he changed political parties eight times. The constant change demonstrates his ability to use rhetorical devices and adapt to new appeals. The researcher of this work outlined Bolsonaro’s rhetorical rise, tested his rhetorical personae, “mito” and “Tropical Trump” based on the work of Ware in Linkugel (1982). No other foreign candidate mirrored Trump as much as he did. Bolsonaro also used US imagery in videos, borrowing images and terminologies found in the US culture. By analyzing his rhetorical strategies, the researcher identified Bolsonaro’s representative anecdote in his appeals that led to his rhetorical motivation as outlined by Burke’s dramatism.

- Leadership on trial: A study of Nelson Mandela's rhetorical strategies.
- Creator
- Romer-Sterling, Katrika Nordraka., Florida Atlantic University, Mulvaney, Becky
- Abstract/Description
-
For over four decades the Apartheid system in South Africa deprived many black South Africans their right to democracy. However, Nelson Mandela's leadership strategies would prove effective in helping the Anti-Apartheid movement achieve its common goal of universal suffrage for all South Africans. This thesis explores what made Mandela's rhetoric as a leader so effective during his courtroom testimonies from the Treason Trial in 1956 and the Rivonia Trial in 1964.

Show moreFor over four decades the Apartheid system in South Africa deprived many black South Africans their right to democracy. However, Nelson Mandela's leadership strategies would prove effective in helping the Anti-Apartheid movement achieve its common goal of universal suffrage for all South Africans. This thesis explores what made Mandela's rhetoric as a leader so effective during his courtroom testimonies from the Treason Trial in 1956 and the Rivonia Trial in 1964. A new model is developed to analyze leadership characteristics: charisma, prophecy, creativity, pragmatism and prophecy proved to be significant strategies in making his leadership rhetoric so effective. The purpose of the model is to demonstrate how leadership is fulfilled.

- Fashion as communication: Jacqueline Kennedy's rhetoric of style.
- Creator
- Remirez, Christine Marie., Florida Atlantic University, Mulvaney, Becky
- Abstract/Description
-
Fashion is a form of rhetoric. It has the power to communicate whether intentionally or not. Jacqueline Kennedy utilized this form of communication to express herself to create a new image of the White House, and to educate the American public on nuances. To her, the various aspects of fashion were strategies that allowed her to create a rhetoric all her own and one that was widely esteemed and emulated. Her creative use of style helped fulfill the public's desire for change in the White...

Jacqueline Kennedy utilized this form of communication to express herself to create a new image of the White House, and to educate the American public on nuances. To her, the various aspects of fashion were strategies that allowed her to create a rhetoric all her own and one that was widely esteemed and emulated. Her creative use of style helped fulfill the public's desire for change in the White House. Essentially, Jackie added an aura that completed the "New Frontier" administration her husband promised. She had set new standards. Her popular style was copied not only because it was aesthetically pleasing, but because it constructed a compelling mystique composed in part by her wealth coupled with her high social and political standing.

This study articulates and accentuates the possibilities for women as suggested in Hillary Rodham Clinton's discourse on women's rights at the United Nation's Fourth Conference on Women. Such an endeavor is realized via ideological criticism, which emphasizes the ethical and political implications of discourse.

Show moreThis study articulates and accentuates the possibilities for women as suggested in Hillary Rodham Clinton's discourse on women's rights at the United Nation's Fourth Conference on Women. Such an endeavor is realized via ideological criticism, which emphasizes the ethical and political implications of discourse. Concepts which inform my analysis include constitutive rhetoric, the Second Persona, and the Third Persona. These tools help discover how Hillary constituted women while in China and expose the gender ideology that grounded her discourse. Her discursive fragments suggest that women's place in the world centers on their place in the family and men's place centers in the public domain. Traditional meanings of women and men are advanced and their rearticulation is hindered. If a meaningful emancipated community is to be realized, we must reconsider our conceptions of both women and men and evoke the power of subversive discourse.

- The rhetoric of caution: How the rhetorical strategies of President Bill "Comeback Kid" Clinton facilitate his desire for control without commitment.
- Creator
- Escoffery, Leonie Isolyn., Florida Atlantic University, Hahn, Dan F.
- Abstract/Description
-
The image of Bill Clinton in the popular press is that of a President who is unable to commit to a course of action, a man with tenuous credibility, and the reputation of being able to slide his way out of compromising situations. However, these characterizations reflect a limited perspective of the complex contradictions that characterize the Clinton presidency. This analysis attempts to address the paradox of a President who is perceived as being chameleon in nature, and yet who is widely...
Show moreThe image of Bill Clinton in the popular press is that of a President who is unable to commit to a course of action, a man with tenuous credibility, and the reputation of being able to slide his way out of compromising situations. However, these characterizations reflect a limited perspective of the complex contradictions that characterize the Clinton presidency. This analysis attempts to address the paradox of a President who is perceived as being chameleon in nature, and yet who is widely recognized as being highly competent in his grasp of substantive and complex policy questions. Clinton's rhetoric, which has been negatively exploited by his opposition, has so many fundamental strategic advantages that it is also partly responsible for his political successes, for his ability to be the "Comeback Kid." A dynamic configuration of seven rhetorical strategies is proposed and discussed as forming the initial criteria of what I call a "rhetoric of caution." Clinton's rhetorical leadership, demonstrated through his televised addresses to the nation, is analyzed through the critical framework of a rhetoric of caution. When viewed from this angle of the critical prism, what the President's opponents portray as "slick" can justifiably be characterized as "flexible." Implications and limitations of this analysis are examined.

- "The Manhattan Project," 1992: An analysis of rhetorical changes in the strategic modification of the Clinton campaign for the presidency.
- Creator
- Donovan, Rose-Marie., Florida Atlantic University, Hahn, Dan F.
- Abstract/Description
-
In the spring of 1992, Democratic candidate Bill Clinton began to slip in the polls during his quest for the presidency, primarily because of negative publicity surrounding character issues. To counteract the problem, he embraced a radical campaign overhaul, "The Manhattan Project," designed by his ambitious young strategists. The plan was to strengthen his campaign theme, and to portray him as a middle-class (as opposed to elitist) candidate. Ten of Clinton's formal speeches, five from...
Show moreIn the spring of 1992, Democratic candidate Bill Clinton began to slip in the polls during his quest for the presidency, primarily because of negative publicity surrounding character issues. To counteract the problem, he embraced a radical campaign overhaul, "The Manhattan Project," designed by his ambitious young strategists. The plan was to strengthen his campaign theme, and to portray him as a middle-class (as opposed to elitist) candidate. Ten of Clinton's formal speeches, five from before the change in strategy and five from after, are the primary research material investigated in this study. The speeches are compared through a modified content analysis of selected words and themes, and through a qualitative analysis based on current theories in political and campaign rhetoric of what constitutes a successful campaign, including evaluation of theme, symbolism, imagery, contextuality, and constraints, in an effort to determine if the strategy change was effective.
