Abstract

Although regionalism has long been an important concept in architecture and political science, rhetorical studies has not specifically theorized regionalism as an analytical or productive concept. This introduction outlines four premises of a regional rhetoric that help to articulate a specifically rhetorical theory of regionalism. The narrative describes the loss of a wheel on her son's stroller and the difficulty of compensating for the malfunction while walking the hills of Seattle.
