Chapter 7 gender: rhetoric and style
• 1. framing – intro, conclusion and throughout. The ethos of the novel
supported by the author – opening closing cohesion. Paragraph 5 = time
period.
• 2. Concession – refutation approach ( a model for your counter-argument
model, he is a Harvard prof, so my expectations are not as high but a
model for you…if you are thinking Ivy League) he must be careful in his
attacks since he (Gould is a scientist also) “science is an inferential
exercise not a catalogue of facts”
• Side note on the Broca part of the brain: controls facial neurons controls
speech production and understanding of language
• 3. paragraph 3 he questions the scientific method only after establishing
Broca’s ethos by 8th paragraph Gould concludes: sound numbers but illfounded interpretation and by paragraph 16 is the point to Gould’s essay: “I
would rather label the whole…highly injurious.”
• 4. mostly problem with Broca – must quote the sources in order to indict
them – there can be no mistaking their position by letting them speak for
themselves! – why no quote from Montessori?
• 5. like a researcher he shares his new info w/o undercutting his criticism, it
shows he is one who continues to learn and expand his knowledge – it
adds by making his example stronger, more influential.
• 6. logos – multiple regression, not available to 19th cent researchers – it is
step-by-step analysis appeals to reason
Chapter 7 gender: rhetoric and style (cont.)
• 7.science as a means of expanding and impacting social analyses
and policies based on scientific research – think of some other areas
of research that are currently impacting policy decisions by govt?
Could there possibly be any errors in it?
• 8. shows he considers more than one side but he also questions the
philosophy itself, that both sides can use the method for their means
but it does not justify it
• 9. Uses two women scientists and an author to show just how
injurious it is.
• 10. respond to this video:
