3. Speaking for Another Polis.

Author

Townsend, Rebecca M.

Subjects
TOWN meetings (Local government), RHETORIC & politics, VENTRILOQUISM, PUBLIC meetings
Abstract

With the ending of the historic practice of town meeting legislature in Amherst, Massachusetts in 2018, this essay studies one practice that had been a source of tension: the deliberative body's foreign policy rhetoric. This essay examines one deliberation on a resolution concerning Nigeria for how participants use presence (Perelman & Olbrechts-Tyteca, 1971) and ventriloquism (Cooren, 2016) to construct a sense of authority for speaking for themselves and for others as democratic agents. It contributes to literature on public meetings and on rhetorical authority. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
