CRICK, Nathan. The rhetoric of hope: integrating rhetorical practice into the pedagogy of Paulo Freire. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2016, vol.30, suppl., pp.213-242. ISSN 1982-596x.  https://doi.org/10.14393/REVEDFIL.issn.0102-6801.v30nEspeciala2016-p213a242.

Reading Paulo Freire’ s Pedagogy of the oppressed, one might easily conclude that rhetoric has no place in a classroom so thoroughly imbued with the ethics of dialogue. However, this essay suggests that rhetoric plays a productive and in fact necessary role in Freire’s pedagogy of the oppressed. Drawing from the sophistical techniques of imitatio and dissoilogoi, I suggest that true liberation from a dominated consciousness goes through rather than around the methods of rhetorical persuasion, methods that not only develop rhetorical skills in students but that also encourage rhetorical performance on the part of the educators. Dialogue remains central to this pedagogy but becomes enriched by its natural counterpart, rhetoric, so that the aim is not only cognitive liberation but the accrual of practical power.
