- W2131946044 abstract "In moving beyond the dichotomy between representative and participatory models ofdemocracy, contemporary democratic theory has drawn out the crucial role ofdeliberation in the effective operation of democratic institutions. However, whilevarious theorists show that deliberation is applied to democratic effect in an assortmentof arrangements (such as interpersonal relationships, new social movements andinternational negotiations), there appears to be a hesitation in theorising the means toimprove the deliberative functioning of currently existing representative institutions.This thesis argues that despite the many limitations of representative democracy, and ofthe mass media which act as its key deliberative forum, currently existing models ofrepresentative democracy still offer formal and practical opportunities for collectivedeliberation in rhetorical exchanges among citizens, particularly, but by no meansexclusively, in the course of the election campaign. Consideration of recent democratictheory suggests that the quantity and quality of democratic deliberation in a range ofparticular situations may be assessed against a set of criteria: access, transparency,feedback and coordination.For citizens to make use of the deliberative opportunities raised by the electioncampaign requires, it is argued, the creation of a contemporary rhetoric. This thesisaddresses that process by reviewing the roots of rhetorical practice and theory in tribaland bardic methods used to produce social cohesion, in the activities of the Sophists inGreek, and particularly Athenian, direct democracy and in the practical reason ofAristotle's seminal text.This thesis then proceeds to consider the rhetorical techniques, employed in two recentelection campaigns, which overcame the preconceptions of academic and mediacommentators to produce upset results by successfully engaging, it is argued, thecitizen-audience in a meta-narrative of rhetorical exchange.From consideration of these three case studies, an account of a rhetoric emerges as atechnical and instrumental discipline. While a contemporary version of political rhetoricmay be derived from campaign practices in the electoral context, that rhetoric is alsocapable of utilising the mass media for much broader deliberative purposes and thepotential for marginal and critical political forces to apply these activities more widelyis explored.Central to the development of new, deliberative accounts of rhetoric is a return toAristotle to appreciate the ethical import of rhetoric. A contemporary approach torhetoric, arising from an emerging account of citizenship as participatory, deliberative,global and media-active is considered." @default.
