- W2146148975 abstract "The House of My Sojourn: Rhetoric, Women, and the Question of Authority. By Jane S. Sutton. Tuscaloosa: University of Alabama Press, 2010. X11 + 219 pp. $59.50 cloth/$47.6o e-book. Itn The House of My Sojourn, Jane S. Sutton heeds President Barack Obama's mandate ask hard questions about why ... do not occupy the high seats [in life] by exploring how, throughout the last two centuries, more and more American have become speakers at the same time their authority has been undermined (17). She also promises to provide readers with preliminary plan for a new rhetoric ... able to extend authority and power and thus agency to women (20). Sutton imagines her project spatially: She sees rhetoric as house, conceived as an escape from the wild beast that settles disputes through violence (33). In the first chapter, her reliance on spatial metaphors can be dizzying: I move across the vertical slope as the house rises to its apex by using switchbacks that go from myth to conceptualization (29). However, Sutton also uses the Portrait Monument, statue of Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony, as steadying metaphor for what happens to when they enter the house of rhetoric. From its installation in 1921 until 1997, the statue had been relegated to the basement of the Capitol Rotunda. Sutton's historical journey begins with the ancient Greeks and their building of the house of rhetoric. In the middle chapters of the book, she uses three nineteenth-century case studies of speaking in to demonstrate how increased access does not equal increased authority. Audiences showered orators Frances Wright and Lucy Stone with epithets; the 1893 Chicago World's Fair included Woman's Building, where the busts that became the Portrait Monument were initially displayed, but it was built far from the fair's central buildings; Amelia Schauer, telephone operator (one of thousands who were hired toward the end of the nineteenth century), was arrested under suspicion of being prostitute, simply for walking in place one night. Together, these interesting middle chapters demonstrate the troping (or turning) by which are denied authority. The master trope is metonymy, or, as Sutton puts it by quoting Jay Heinrichs, the figure of swap (60) (for example, the White House can be swapped for the president). Sutton refers to three different kinds of metonymy: antonomasia, or the use of epithets, for example, Wright as High Priestess of Infidelity (84); hypallage, or the switching of attributes, for example, the rhetorical accomplishments the Woman's Building is meant to celebrate are marginalized; and paronomasia, or slight but telling change of name, for example, woman as public woman. Sutton's cleverness appears especially in chapter 4's identification of the placement of the Woman's Building as hypallage: It demonstrates how one can merge classical rhetorical analysis with feminist one. Sutton thinks spatially, and she makes her way from place to place in her book by visual associations. She facilitates her leap from classical Greek rhetoric to nineteenth-century America by foregrounding the Greek elements in the three case studies she uses: not only by using classical tropes to characterize each case but also through analyzing details like the neoclassical architecture that characterized the White City of the Chicago World's Fair and the Arachne-like portrait of the Telephone Woman in Edmunds E. …" @default.
