- Summary:
- A nationally known scholar, essayist, and public advocate for the humanities, Birubi has a rapier wit and a singular talent for parsing complex philosophical, theoretical, and political questions. "Rhetorical Occasions" collects 24 of his major essays and reviews, plus a sampling of entries on literary theory and contemporary culture from his award-winning weblog. Selected to showcase the range of public writing available to scholars, the essays cover matters both academic and nonacademic. By example and illustration, Birubi reminds readers that the humanities remain central to our understanding of what it means to be human.
