oa African Yearbook of Rhetoric - "Mierda", or concerning "evil" in politics. A rhetorical analysis

Abstract

My purpose is to outline the question of "the diabolical". To acknowledge something like "the diabolical" in politics of transition has a direct bearing on the appreciation by which in order to achieve a "new beginning" a traumatised polity "treats" the diabolical and proceeds to reconciliation, or to vengeance.
