Metanoia by Adam Ellwanger
Examines the concept of metanoia as both a rhetorical figure of speech and a critical tool for the analysis of self-reinventions of all kinds, including conversions related to race, sex, religion, and politics.“Ellwanger offers an original and provocative contribution to the study of metanoia that extends our understanding of the relation between epistrophe and metanoia significantly and places metanoia in productive tension with the concept of ethosEllwanger is at his very best in his practice of ‘paratactical rhetorical analysis,’ placing conceptions of metanoia side by side to facilitate a clearer understanding of personal transformation, and he is a master of creating a narrative of his analysis.”
