Synecdoche (White intro)

  1. from Crowley, Sharon. Ancient Rhetorics for Contemporary Students. New York: MacMillan, 1994. In synecdoche, "rhetors substitute the part for the whole" (216).

  2. from Wright, Alan. "Sentence Fragments: Elements of Style, Postcolonial Edition." JAC: A Journal of Composition Theory 18.1 (1998): 91-104.
    "[F]ashioning a cultural politics . . . out of bits and pieces" has potential for a synecdochal sort of resistance (95). Code-mixing, for example, resists the colonial impulse to stratify speakers of different codes (95-6).
