This dissertation attempts to theorize the rhetorical operation of ruptures as forms of dissent. Regarding the current operation of dissent in the context of globalization, I argue that contemporary forms of dissent increasingly favor a form of activism that attempts to rupture rather than engage with the structures of power. I regard this form as a necessary evolution of dissent against structures of governance that increasingly limit the means of democratic or participatory engagement. As a consequence, rhetors are increasingly turning to means of intervention and interference. This dissertation attempts to rhetorically theorize these ruptures through the theory of the event as developed by Alain Badiou and Jean-Luc Nancy. As I argue, contemporary dissenters engage in a rhetorical process when they identify gaps or voids within a discourse of power and exploit those voids. This rhetorical process, I argue, involves a hermeneutic reading of the situation and the "making visible" of such voids as a means to create structural change within discourses or sites of power. As this is a means of negotiating power, rather than directly engaging with it, I view this practice as a valuable tool for rhetorical dissent calibrated to function in the context of globalization.
