Preface: Our Title Is Our Mission Statement
Richard Leo Enos
I would like to begin by thanking the Rupert Radford Trust and Texas Christian University for providing the funding that made it possible to publish the first six issues of Advances in the History of Rhetoric ( 1997 – 2002 ) in this single volume. I am pleased to have edited the first six issues of Advances and very thankful to be editing this collection with David Beard. In several ways, this collection, and even the founding of Advances in the History of Rhetoric itself, reminds me of an event that I experienced thirty years ago. In 1976 , a colleague of mine had the enviable task of introducing Lloyd F. Bitzer. My friend asked what he should say in his introductory remarks. I promptly suggested, “Tell the audience that Lloyd Bitzer’s essay, ‘The Rhetorical Situation,’ is probably the single most widely-read essay in our discipline.” Bitzer’s insights help us to understand that rhetoric can solve problems of value and preference, especially when we are sensitive to the context within which these needs emerge. I feel that Bitzer’s observations still ring true today and bear directly on the mission of our journal. In 1995 , we believed that having a journal for the American Society for the History of Rhetoric would meet a number of needs that faced our academic organization.
The early years of Advances are best characterized as a “rhetorical response” to our discipline’s need to “advance” in three respects. First, we felt that a journal provided a tangible resource that would complement the objectives of our annually presented conference papers; the journal made rhetoric visible in a real sense. To that end, all ASHR conference papers were eligible for consideration in Advances. The result was overwhelming. In the first six years, thirty different rhetoricians published essays in Advances.
Second, Advances provided a rhetorical solution to another critical need: a place for developing historians of rhetoric to publish their research. Our intent was to provide a national journal that concentrated on “advancing” the work of emerging scholars. With the exception of occasional guest contributors, Advances became a place where competition for publication would be among developing researchers and not with established scholars. This emphasis on nurturing the work of beginning researchers had tangible benefits. Over the years, several institutions used the research of these emerging scholars in hiring, tenure, and promotion evaluation reviews.
Third, we also encouraged a diversity of methods, disciplinary perspectives, and research procedures. This emphasis on diversity helped to overcome one of the major constraints in our field: the belief that historical topics must employ “traditional” research methods. The consequence of this self-imposed limitation is that important historical questions are either never asked or are not answered thoroughly, because conventional research methods are not adequate for such tasks. Over the first six years of Advances, we sought diversity and encouraged new, innovative methods for researching historical topics. We welcomed participants from a variety of fields, including but by no means limited to: Communication, English, Philosophy, History, Religion, and Classical Studies.
Readers will note that this diversity is reflected in several ways. Texts that are disputed and neglected have been studied, with researchers often seeking to resolve issues that conventional literary approaches have left unresolved. These authors have re-examined the presumptions of disciplines and their relationship(s) with rhetoric. Such studies have included not only the humanities, but mathematics and the sciences as well. Efforts to provide sensitive explanations accounting for the voices of women and other groups have been an
