Thesis (M.A.)

Includes bibliographical references

This thesis employs a Burkean cluster analysis to advance the claim that fast fashion (FF) corporate social responsibility statements (CSR) are written to convince consumers of the distance between 'good' corporate intention and 'bad' overseas vendors. In order to maintain this assertion, a discussion of the FF supply chain is discussed in terms of a Bitzer's rhetorical situation. This thesis goes on to argue that FF CSR responds to a situational exigence, identified as consumer dissatisfaction with supply chain misconduct, by utilizing a robust series of rhetorical appeals. This intentional discourse, whereby rhetorical appeals are made to an audience sharing common interests with the FF corporate rhetor, is defined here as "Good for you Rhetoric" (G4YR). G4YR convinces consumers that by shopping they become consumer philanthropists and in so doing ensures that consumers and corporations move away from social responsibility and toward continued exploitation of garment workers.
