Synchronizing Rhetorical Beats Towards Inclusive Practice- DJs as Rhetors

DJs are models of rhetorical excellence, canon makers, time binders who link past, present, and future in the groove and mix; and intellectuals continuously interpreting the history and current realities of their communities in real time. Banks uses the DJ’s practices of the mix, remix, and mixtape as tropes for reimagining writing instruction and the study of rhetoric. DJs, in many ways, mimic/represent Black rhetorical tradition in a way that honors storytelling and tends to welcome futuristic visions! This dual connection can serve as an unique and essential method to study African American Rhetoric. (90).[SD-08]
