Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Irvine, 2013.

This dissertation uses rhetorical, postcolonial, and decolonial theories to practice comparative rhetoric in examining receptions of the rhetorical tradition in Latin America across a range of genres that include chronicle, ethnography, essay, narrative, travel writing, and nineteenth century rhetorical manuals. These receptions by both indigenous and criollo writers (American-born Spaniards) resist and reshape the classical topos that opposed civilization to barbarism. Adaptations and resistance to the tradition challenge dominant narratives of decline in the nineteenth century and push back against the hierarchies of Rhetoric. On one hand, the rhetorical tradition was complicit in continuing colonial period notions that classified the indigenous as barbarians while also solidifying standards of elite Hispanic culture and language. On the other hand, receptions by some criollo and indigenous writers reveal a rhetoric of destabilization.

520 $a This dissertation uses rhetorical, postcolonial, and decolonial theories to practice comparative rhetoric in examining receptions of the rhetorical tradition in Latin America across a range of genres that include chronicle, ethnography, essay, narrative, travel writing, and nineteenth century rhetorical manuals. These receptions by both indigenous and criollo writers (American-born Spaniards) resist and reshape the classical topos that opposed civilization to barbarism. Adaptations and resistance to the tradition challenge dominant narratives of decline in the nineteenth century and push back against the hierarchies of Rhetoric.

On the other hand, receptions by some criollo and indigenous writers reveal a rhetoric of destabilization.
520 $a The first chapter begins with the Incan writer Guaman Poma, whose assertion of indigenous linguistic ability in resistance to Spanish dominance inspired Mary Louise Pratt's theory of the contact zone. The second chapter reads General Lucio Mansilla's A visit to the Ranquel Indians (Una excursion los indios ranqueles) (1870) as a proto-comparative rhetorical text exploring indigenous speech practices and questioning the superiority of so-called civilization. In contrast, Andres Bello, author of one of the most influential grammar books in the Spanish language (1847), leaned toward linguistic purism. Examining his grammar and other writing as contextualized receptions of rhetoric, I argue that Bello and other criollos adapted rhetoric to a particularly American political and linguistic identity that reinforced the nation-building project. By the end of this nineteenth century trajectory, Uruguayan essayist Jose Rodo the Nicaraguan poet Ruben Dario, proponents of the modernismo movement in literature, challenge the belletristic rhetorical tradition coming from Scotland and Spain, while refiguring rhetoric for anti-imperial arguments against the rising hegemony of the United States. These sites of adaptation, resistance and destabilization invite scholars to think beyond the borders of the rhetorical tradition.
