Critical Rhetoric| Critical Rhetoric, Relationality, and Temporality: A Case for Forgiveness

Abstract

In this article, I consider the future of critical rhetoric, the responsibilities of the critic, and postcriticism tasks. I first describe the relationality and temporality of doing critical rhetoric. I then discuss how the concept of forgiveness is a relevant concept for critical rhetoric. I conclude with two examples that illustrate my use of critical rhetoric, relationality, temporality, and forgiveness.
