The essays in WAYS OF SEEING, WAYS OF SPEAKING: THE INTEGRATION OF
RHETORIC AND VISION IN CONSTRUCTING THE REAL explore the
intersections among image, word, and visual habits in shaping
realities and subjectivities. Each of the nine authors addresses
the following question: How is the constitution of our world and
our identities composed of the intricate interweaving of imagery,
rhetoric, and shared ways of seeing? Central to the essays
comprising this book is the belief that how we articulate our
realities and identities is inseparable from how we see reality and
what we see as reality. Understanding any aspect of human
existence-from scientific knowledge, to constructions of identity,
to the interface of bodies and technologies-requires attention to
the integration of ways of seeing and ways of speaking. WAYS OF
SEEING, WAYS OF SPEAKING is groundbreaking in three ways. First, it
is an exploration of the way in which our construction of the real
is a communal activity involving image, rhetoric, and visual
habits. Second, it provides insight into the dynamic by which any
construction of the real-a knotting of rhetoric, imagery, and
visual conventions-emerges, grows to dominance, and serves as a
site of resistance. Third, these essays, jointly and individually,
set a course for further work in analyzing the integration of
image, rhetoric, and visual habits in myriad constructions of the
real. CONTRIBUTORS Kristie S. Fleckenstein, Don Ihde, Alan Gross,
