Hey everyone! Some time ago, I asked for help from this list and received what I needed. That information was included in my article that has now been accepted for publication. Perhaps those on this list might be interested in reading the full manuscript.
If you are, check out the forthcoming special issue of the International Journal of Communication, which is published out of New Delhi. The article's name is "The Role of Ethos in Rhetorical Conversion: The Case of Ernst Jünger and Auf den Marmorklippen." Abstract Below: Ernst Jünger is ostensibly one of the most distinguished figures of the twentieth-century, yet he is virtually unknown in American scholarship. On the first day of the Second World War, he published a scathing criticism of Nazi Germany, and he did it with Hitlers consent. Jüngers Auf den Marmorklippen issues a challenge to traditional perspectives on ethos as Jünger employs his prior reputation as a war hero and literary giant not to intensify a present version of himself, but to change his identity altogether. Through the case of Junger, this manuscript provides a theoretical perspective on ethos as an enabler of conversion, personal redemption, and social protest, and looks at the broad role of conflict in the revision and creation of identity and its subsequent effects on ethos. Overall, we see how discursive self-change aligned with enhanced audience identification may strengthen the bond between rhetor and audience, possibly fortifying that rhetors ethos. Thank you for your help. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me. Cheers, Todd S.
