This introduction is designed to exemplify how writers think about and produce text. The guiding features are the following: Every good piece of writing is an argument. Everything worth writing and reading begins with a specific question. Improving skills takes practice, feedback, and re-thinking, redoing, revising. The layout of our book implies there is a beginning, middle, and end to a writing course, but because writing is both an art and a skill, people will find their own processes for learning, improving, and using these skills. Writing processes differ because we are each looking for a workable schemata that fits our way of thinking. Try out a variety of writing processes and strategies, and find what works for you. If you are not uncomfortable on this journey, you simply are not stretching yet. Learning is prickly, awkward, and risky, so if it does not feel a bit unnerving, push harder and farther.

On n'a jamais autant parlé de rhétorique qu'aujourd'hui. Plaire, séduire, convaincre, argumenter, charmer, raisonner, en sont les maîtres mots. De la politique à la publicité, de la théorie littéraire à l'analyse du discours, il n'est de domaine qui n'ait été renouvelé par le « tournant rhétorique » qui s'est emparé des sciences humaines. Aujourd'hui, il faut trouver une unité à ce champ aux multiples aspects, ainsi qu'à tous les usages qui en sont faits. Dans une confrontation permanente entre la théorie et la pratique, Michel Meyer met en lumière les lois fondamentales qui régissent la rhétorique. Il donne à comprendre les mécanismes de la rhétorique à laquelle nous sommes tous soumis, afin de nous prémunir de la manipulation.

This book explores the role of traditional East Asian worldviews, ethical values, and common practices in the shaping of East Asian narratives in literature and film. It offers a specific method for this analysis. The interpretive goal is to arrive at interpretations that more accurately engage cultural information so that narratives are understood more closely in terms of their native cultural rather than that of the reader/interpreter. Current neuroscience related to processes of perception and the attribution of meaning form the basis for the theory of interpretation offered in the first half of the volume.
