Material Rhetoric

Material Rhetoric Links:

  1. Nice concise introduction from cyborg woman (whose website is now Culture Cat)
    • “a definition of material rhetoric, as I see it, is that a rhetorical text, whether it is a memorial site, a speech, or words on paper, has a presence that, once released, is out of the rhetor’s control.”
      Vietnam Memorial Wall
    • “another assumption undergirding material rhetoric… is that bodies are socially produced. To put it another way, … material rhetoric [is] not rhetoric itself, but a lens through which to look at texts, particularly texts that do not use language—visual or tactile texts.”
