Occupying Memory investigates the forces of trauma and mourning as
deeply rhetorical in order to account for their capacity to seize
one's life. Rather than viewing memory as granting direct access to
the past and being readily accessible or pliant to human will,
Trevor Hoag exposes how the past is a rhetorical production and
that trauma and mourning shatter delusions of sovereignty. By
granting memory the posthuman power to persuade without an
accompanying rhetorician, and contending the past cannot become a
reality without being written, this book highlights rhetoric's
indispensability while transforming its relationship to
memorialization, trauma, narrative, death, mourning, haunting, and
survival. Analyzing and deploying the rhetorical trope of
occupatio, Occupying Memory inhabits the conceptual place of memory
by reinscribing it in ways that challenge hegemonic power while
holding open that same space to keep memory "in question" and
receptive to alternative futures to come. Hoag likewise
demonstrates how one might occupy memory through insights gleaned
from analyzing artifacts, media, events, and tropes from the Occupy
Movement, a contemporary national and international movement for
socioeconomic justice.
