ABSTRACT

This essay is organized around four claims, which when taken together, demonstrate that it is time for the field of Communication Rhetoric in the United States to rethink the way it does rhetoric: (1) US American rhetoric is the way settler colonialism organizes, (2) assemblage theory can frame US rhetoric as an organizing logic of Settler Colonialism, (3) anti-colonial social movement knowledge production is akin to theory, and (4) rhetoric must find a better method to engage with these anti-colonial movements. I end the essay with a challenge to rhetorical scholars to learn, rather than try to teach.

反殖民的未来：重塑我们言辞的方式

摘要

本文围绕四个主张进行组织，这四个主张综合起来表明，现在是美国传播修辞学领域重新思考其修辞方式的时候了：（1）美国美国修辞是定居者殖民主义组织的方式，（ 2）组合理论可以将美国修辞学作为定居者殖民主义的组织逻辑，（3）反殖民社会运动知识的产生类似于理论，并且（4）修辞学必须找到一种更好的方法来参与这些反殖民运动。我在文章结尾提出了一个挑战，要求修辞学者学习而不是尝试教学。
