Sommario/riassunto

Born and raised in French Algeria, Assia Djebar and Hélène Cixous represent in their literary works signs of conflict and enmity, drawing on discordant histories so as to reappraise the political on the very basis of dissensus.In a rare comparison of these authors' writings, Algerian Imprints shows how Cixous and Djebar consistently reclaim for ethical and political purposes the demarcations and dislocations emphasized in their fictions. Their works affirm the chance for thinking afforded by marginalization and exclusion and delineate political ways



of preserving a space for difference informed by expropriation and nonbelonging. Cixous's inquiry is steeped in her formative encounter with the grudging integration of the Jews in French Algeria, while Djebar's narratives concern the colonial separation of "French" and "Arab," self and other. Yet both authors elaborate strategies to address inequality and injustice without resorting to tropes of victimization, challenging and transforming the understanding of the history and legacy of colonized space.

Sommario/riassunto

Clason focuses on the closing argument rhetorical practices of five trial attorneys. She seeks to 1) learn how participants utilized rhetorical strategies in closing argument; 2) better understand how they selected those strategies; and 3) examine why they employed the strategies they did through the central categories of ethos, logos, and pathos. Study participants' awareness and consideration of the classical speaker, audience, and message Aristotelian speech situation as well as the power of persuasion demonstrates the continued influence of rhetoric in courts and rhetorical nature of legal
