This collection provides an accessible yet rigorous survey of the
rhetorical study of historical and contemporary social movements
and promotes the study of relations between strategy, symbolic
action, and social assemblage. Offering a comprehensive collection
of the latest research in the field, The Rhetoric of Social
Movements: Networks, Power, and New Media suggests a framework for
the study of social movements grounded in a methodology of "slow
inquiry" and the interconnectedness of these imminent phenomena.
Chapters address the rhetorical tactics that social movements use
to gain attention and challenge power; the centrality of
traditional and new media in social movements; the operations of
power in movement organization, leadership, and local and global
networking; and emerging contents and environments for social
movements in the twenty-first century. Each chapter is framed by
case studies (drawn from movements across the world, ranging from
Black Lives Matter and Occupy to Greek anarchism and indigenous
land protests) that ground conceptual characteristics of social
movements in their continuously unfolding reality, furnishing
readers with both practical and theoretical insights. The Rhetoric
of Social Movements will be of interest to scholars and advanced
students of rhetoric, communication, media studies, cultural
studies, social protest and activism, and political science.
