Description
What extraordinary forces compel everyday individuals to unite in public spaces and amplify their voices? How do they navigate obstacles in their quest for genuine democratic participation? Dive into the thought-provoking world of Unruly Rhetorics: Protest, Persuasion, and Publics (ePub) — a dynamic compilation of essays curated by leading scholars in rhetoric, communication, and writing studies. This collection critically examines the essential conditions of activism, political protest, and public assembly, shedding light on the complexities of collective expression.
The introduction engages with the profound insights of theorists Jacques Rancière and Judith Butler, investigating the limitations of civil discourse when it comes to addressing suffering and social injustices. The subsequent essays delve into the phenomenon of “unruliness” through illuminating case studies that span both contemporary and historical contexts of social-justice activism. Each contribution illustrates how seemingly chaotic forms of expression are essential in challenging and reshaping the public narrative.
Completing the collection is an insightful afterword that emphasizes the ethical, political, and pedagogical implications posed by unruly rhetorics, inviting readers to further explore the significance of these questions. By analyzing various modes of communication — including embodied speech, print media, digital platforms, and sonic expressions — Unruly Rhetorics articulates the idea that unruliness is not merely an alternative rhetorical approach; rather, it is fundamental to the very essence of political engagement itself.
