Abstract	Joshua Gunn calls for the creation of a new post-humanist, -Marxist, -Freudian approach to rhetorical criticism that would combine literary, critical, and psychoanalytic methods in a new "popular imaginary" paradigm. While urging acceptance of his new paradigm, Gunn advances three major criticisms of symbolic convergence theory (SCT): (1) SCT is ontologically and paradigmatically inconsistent; (2) SCT's Freudian fantasies are deceptive; and (3) SCT is a deficient theory of invention. In this paper, the authors defend SCT from Gunn's recent criticisms. (Contains 34 notes.) (ERIC).
