Understanding how rhetoric, and environmental rhetoric in
particular, informs and is informed by local and global ecologies
contributes to our conversations about sustainability and
resilience - the preservation and conservation of the earth and the
future of human society. This book explores some of the complex
relationships, collaborations, compromises, and contradictions
between human endeavor and situated discourses, identities and
landscapes, social justice and natural resources, movement and
geographies, unpacking and grappling with the complexities of
rhetoric of presence. Making a significant contribution to
exploring the complex discursive constructions of environmental
rhetorics and place-based rhetorics, this collection considers
discourses, actions, and adaptations concerning environmental
regulations and development, sustainability, exploitation, and
conservation of energy resources. Essays visit arguments on
cultural values, social justice, environmental advocacy, and
identity as political constructions of rhetorical place and space.
Rural and urban case studies contribute to discussions of the
ethics and identities of environment, and the rhetorics of
environmental cartography and glocalization. Contributors represent
a range of specialization across a variety of scholarly research in
such fields as communication studies, rhetorical theory,
social/cultural geography, technical/professional communication,
cartography, anthropology, linguistics, comparative
literature/ecocriticism, literacy studies, digital rhetoric/media
studies, and discourse analysis. Thus, this book goes beyond the
assumption that rhetorics are situated, and challenges us to
consider not only how and why they are situated, but what we mean
when we theorize notions of situated, place-based rhetorics.
