About this publication
The Incomprehensible: The Critical Rhetoric of Philippe-Joseph Salazar brings together twelve essays in honour of the scholarship of Philippe-Joseph Salazar. In his work, Salazar’s relationship with the Incomprehensible has been variegated and profound.
It begins at the end of the seventies, when Salazar travelled to apartheid South Africa - on the advice of his mentors in Paris - to study the discourse of racialisation while it was being actively and concretely practised as state racism. Since then, Salazar’s contributions have never strayed from the study of the incomprehensible languages, discourses, rhetorics and philosophies that marked the end of the twentieth century and continue unabated in the new millennium.
This volume aims to illustrate, further, that Salazar is as much a rhetorician of technologies of power as he is a ‘critical’ rhetorician, that is, a rhetorician who has moved through the bases of semiotics and psychoanalysis in order to step out of (manufactured) ‘common sense’ altogether so as to apprehend the repressed and repressive aspects of such common sense and of ubiquitous commonplaces.
