attenuating as he goes. As a result, the writing tends to slide rather than arrive, staging moments of transduction for the reader. Boyle has a point, that rhetoric is not pointed; it is the ever-structuring of affect, which embodies capacities for further affection. Given the dynamism of his theory, one unasked question is why is rhetoric an ethic of exercising bodies? Changing metastabilities of transindividual capacities would suggest that rhetoric is always toward the ethical, compelling one to ask about which resources are available and why, but that rhetoricity per se is not an ethic beyond questioning available potential for invention. The slippage between an ethic and a provocation toward the ethical that Boyle presents is just one of the important considerations raised by a book that readers of posthuman theory will find rich and valuable.

现实叮咬：美国政治文化中的修辞和真理主张的传播，作者：Dana L. Cloud

他走的时候衰减。结果，写作往往会滑动而不是到达，为读者提供转导时刻。博伊尔有一个观点，即修辞并不尖锐；它是情感的不断构建，体现了进一步情感的能力。鉴于他的理论的活力，一个未被问到的问题是为什么修辞是一种锻炼身体的伦理？改变跨个体能力的亚稳定性表明修辞总是朝向伦理的，迫使人们去询问哪些资源可用以及为什么可用，但修辞本身并不是一种超越质疑可用发明潜力的伦理。博伊尔所呈现的伦理和对伦理的挑衅之间的滑动只是一本书提出的重要考虑之一，后人类理论的读者会发现它丰富而有价值。
