Описание: Queerly Remembered investigates the ways in which gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer (GLBTQ) individuals and communities have increasingly turned to public tellings of their ostensibly shared pasts in order to advocate for political, social, and cultural change in the present. Much like nations, institutions, and other minority groups before them, GLBTQ people have found communicating their past(s)—particularly as expressed through the concept of memory—a rich resource for leveraging historical and contemporary opinions toward their cause. Drawing from the interdisciplinary fields of rhetorical studies, memory studies, gay and lesbian studies, and queer theory, Thomas R. Dunn considers both the ephemeral tactics and monumental strategies that GLBTQ communities have used to effect their queer persuasion. More broadly this volume addresses the challenges and opportunities posed by embracing historical representations of GLBTQ individuals and communities as a political strategy. Particularly for a diverse community whose past is marked by the traumas of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, the forgetting and destruction of GLBTQ history, and the sometimes-divisive representational politics of fluid, intersectional identities, portraying a shared past is an exercise fraught with conflict despite its potential rewards. Nonetheless, by investigating rich rhetorical case studies through time and across diverse artifacts—including monuments, memorials, statues, media publications, gravestones, and textbooks—Queerly Remembered reveals that our current queer “turn toward memory” is a complex, enduring, and avowedly rich rhetorical undertaking.

Описание: Finalist, 2021 Association for the Rhetoric of Science, Technology, and Medicine Book Award Honorable Mention, Conference on College Composition and Communication Best Book in Technical or Scientific Communication Debates over vaccination run rampant in the US--from the pages of medical journals, to news coverage about the latest outbreak, to vehement messages passed back and forth online. From the professional level to the personal one, almost everyone has an opinion on vaccinations--and often conversations around this issue pit supporters of vaccinations against "anti-vaxxers." In Vaccine Rhetorics, Heidi Yoston Lawrence turns a critical eye toward such conversations--proposing a new approach that moves us beyond divisive rhetoric and seeks to better understand the material conditions underlying the debate. Starting with a key question--If vaccines work, why are they controversial?--and using an approach she calls "material exigence," Lawrence seeks to understand the material conditions of disease and injury associated with vaccination. Examining four primary motivations--the exigency of disease at the heart of physician views, the desire for eradication from policymakers, concern over injury expressed by parents and patients in online confessionals, and questions about the unknown surrounding potential recipients of the flu vaccine, Lawrence demonstrates the complexity of vaccination skepticism and the need for more nuanced public discourse. In bringing together the voices of those who oppose, question, and support vaccines, Vaccine Rhetorics unearths the material circumstances that lead to differing viewpoints and brings important attention not just to what is said but how and why it is said--providing a useful framework for studying other controversial issues.

Описание: Planting the Anthropocene is a rhetorical look into the world of industrial tree planting in Canada that engages the themes of nature, culture, and environmental change. Bringing together the work of material ecocriticism and critical affect studies in service of a new materialist environmental rhetoric, Planting the Anthropocene forwards a frame that can be used to work through complex scenes of anthropogenic labor.
Using the results of interviews with seasonal Canadian tree planters, Jennifer Clary-Lemon interrogates the complex and messy imbrication of nature-culture through the inadequate terminology used to describe the actual circumstances of the planters' work and lives--and offers alternative ways to conceptualize them. Although silvicultural workers do engage with the limiting rhetoric of efficiency and humanism, they also make rhetorical choices that break down the nature-culture divide and orient them on a continuum that blurs the boundaries between the given and the constructed, the human and nonhuman. Tree-planting work is approached as a site of a deep-seated materiality--a continued re-creation of the land's "disturbance"--rather than a simplistic form of doing good that further separates humans from landscapes.
Jennifer Clary-Lemon's view of nature and the Anthropocene through the lens of material rhetorical studies is thoroughly original and will be of great interest to students and scholars of rhetoric and composition, especially those focused on the environment.

Описание: VISUAL RHETORIC SERIES, Edited by MARGUERITE HELMERS "In HAPTIC VISIONS, Valerie Hanson provides a careful and far-reaching study of the discourses and practices of nanotechnology, but its implications are not limited to the case example at hand, which is fascinating in its own right and deserves to be read by students and researchers who are interested in the rhetorical dynamics of science. Hanson's original and insightful analysis of the contexts surrounding the scanning tunneling microscope also opens new ways of thinking about visuals, about visual production and reception, and about the role of persuasion in scientific knowledge-making. This book is a must-read for anyone with interests in the overlapping areas of rhetoric, science, and the visual." -STUART SELBER, The Pennsylvania State University "We see by touching, we touch by seeing. This used to be true only metaphorically. Nanotechnology and other contemporary technosciences produce knowledge and employ instruments that render touch visible, literally. Valerie Hanson's HAPTIC VISIONS: RHETORICS OF THE DIGITAL IMAGE, INFORMATION, AND NANOTECHNOLOGY explores the new ways of relating ourselves to the world and participating in what we observe. Original in its approach and insightful in its analysis, Haptic Visions forges new connections between rhetoric, visual culture studies, and the philosophy of technoscience." -ALFRED NORDMANN, Institut fьr Philosophie, Technische Universitдt Darmstadt and the University of South Carolina. "Valerie Hanson scans the nooks and crannies of the human scale language and images with which nanoscale science has begun to translate an extraordinarily small, strange, and promising new point of view on matter and energy. The result is a tour de force analysis of the rhetorical layer of nanoscience. HAPTIC VISIONS is a must read users' guide for understanding the emerging but often invisible nanoscale technological revolution that will transform our planet in ways that we literally cannot envision." -RICHARD DOYLE, The Pennsylvania State University VALERIE HANSON is Associate Professor of Writing in the School of Liberal Arts at Philadelphia University. Her research focuses on the rhetoric of science and design. She has published articles on the rhetoric of nanotechnology in journals such as Science Communication and Science as Culture. She has been a fellow in an interdisciplinary research group at the Zentrum fьr interdisziplinдre Forschung (Center for Interdisciplinary Research) at the University of Bielefeld (Germany).
