I&#8217;ve run across a few variants, and<br \/>\nmost of them, as well as I can tell, side with one of two teams (been watching the<br \/>\nWorld Cup?): hermeneutics or meaning-motivated triangles and dramatics or<br \/>\nevent-motivated triangles. And when the final whistle blows, they trade jerseys.<br \/>\nI hope you&#8217;ll tell me what I&#8217;m leaving out.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the thing: I&#8217;ve overheard triangles off-handedly dismissed as only so<br \/>\nmuch simplistic rubbish (right, of course, there are more thoughtful, respectful<br \/>\nand smart critiques, too). During a few of those triangle bashings, I admit, I<br \/>\nsat by, complicit in my silence. Which should I prefer? Why <i>one<\/i>? Any?<\/p>\n<p>I briefly looked again at Bitzer&#8217;s famous essay early this week and was<br \/>\nreminded that he relies on the troika of exigence, audience and constraints (is<br \/>\nit a generous gloss that this transmodifies into speaker-audience-purpose (or<br \/>\ncontext)? Or does this last one come from elsewhere still?). Insufficient though<br \/>\nBitzer&#8217;s set may well be, I wonder whether you think they&#8217;re suitable as a<br \/>\nbeginning model for, say, students in a lower division writing course who have<br \/>\nnever heard of rhetoric or who have never considered situation as an object of<br \/>\nstudy. Given that we&#8217;re concerned with a rhetorical situation understood to be a<br \/>\nsmall slice of a complex ecology of activities and intensities, do you think that<br \/>\nBitzer&#8217;s three terms do justice as a starting point? <\/p>\n<p>Really, what I&#8217;m trying to find out is whether you ever use <i>any<\/i><br \/>\ntriangular model when teaching a writing course.
