Drawing on the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of rhetorical study, Neurorhetorics questions how discourses about the brain construct neurological differences, such as mental illness or intelligence measures. This book was originally published as a special issue of Rhetoric Society Quarterly.
In academia, as well as in popular culture, the prefix 'neuro-' now occurs with startling frequency. The chapters in this book investigate the rhetorical appeal, effects, and implications of this prefix, neuro-, and carefully consider the potential collaborative work between rhetoricians and neuroscientists.
