John Muckelbauer is an Associate Professor in the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of South Carolina, located within the McCausland College of Arts and Sciences. He holds a Ph.D. from Penn State University, awarded in 2002.
Research Interests: His scholarly work centers on modern rhetorical theory, the history of rhetoric, and the rhetoric of science. He is particularly engaged with questions of rhetorical invention, postmodern theory, and the conceptual challenges of transformation and change. These themes converge in his forthcoming monograph, Invention and the Future: Rhetoric, Postmodernism, and the Problem of Change, to be published by SUNY Press.
Dr. Muckelbauer’s research draws extensively on the philosophies of Gilles Deleuze and Jacques Derrida, and he employs close readings of classical rhetorical texts—ranging from Aristotle and Plato to the Sophists—to explore non-dialectical, affirmative models of change.
