Theorizing Digital Rhetoric takes up the intersection of rhetorical
theory and digital technology to explore the ways in which rhetoric
is challenged by new technologies and how rhetorical theory can
illuminate discursive expression in digital contexts. The volume
combines complex rhetorical theory with personal anecdotes about
the use of technologies to create a larger philosophical and
rhetorical account of how theorists approach the examinations of
new and future digital technologies. This collection of essays
emphasizes the ways that digital technology intrudes upon
rhetorical theory and how readers can be everyday rhetorical
critics within an era of ever-increasing use of digital technology.
Each chapter effectively blends theorizing between rhetoric and
digital technology, informing readers of the potentiality between
the two ideas. The theoretical perspectives informed by digital
media studies, rhetorical theory, and personal/professional use
provide a robust accounting of digital rhetoric that is timely,
personable, and useful.
Readings in Rhetorical Fieldwork compiles foundational articles
highlighting the development of fieldwork in rhetorical criticism.
Presenting a wide variety of approaches, the volume begins with a
section establishing the starting points for the development of
fieldwork in rhetorical criticism and then examines five topics:
Space & Place; Public Memory; Publics and Counterpublics;
Advocacy and Activism; and Science, Technology, and Medicine.
Within these sections, readers evaluate a full spectrum of methods,
from interviews, to oral histories, to participant observation.
This volume is invaluable for advanced undergraduate and graduate
students of rhetorical criticism, rhetorical fieldwork, and
qualitative methods looking for a comprehensive overview of the
development of rhetorical fieldwork.

Increasingly, rhetorical scholars are using fieldwork and other
ethnographic, performance, and qualitative methods to access,
document, and analyze forms of everyday in situ rhetoric rather
than using already documented texts. In this book, the authors
argue that participatory critical rhetoric, as an approach to in
situ rhetoric, is a theoretically, methodologically, and
praxiologically robust approach to critical rhetorical studies.
This book addresses how participatory critical rhetoric furthers
understanding of the significant role that rhetoric plays in
everyday life through expanding the archive of rhetorical practices
and texts, emplacing rhetorical critics in direct conversation with
rhetors and audiences at the moment of rhetorical invention, and
highlighting marginalized voices that might otherwise go unnoticed.
This book organizes the theoretical and methodological foundations
of participatory critical rhetoric through four vectors that
enhance conventional rhetorical approaches: 1) the political
commitments of the critic; 2) rhetorical reflexivity and the role
of the embodied critic; 3) emplaced rhetoric and the interplay
between the field, text, and context; and 4) multiperspectival
judgment that is informed by direct participation with rhetors and
audiences. In addition to laying the groundwork and advocating for
the approach, Participatory Critical Rhetoric also offers
significant contributions to rhetorical theory and criticism more
broadly by revisiting the field's understanding of core topics such
as role of the critic, text/context, audience, rhetorical effect,
and the purpose of criticism. Further, it enhances theoretical
conversations about material rhetoric, place/space, affect,
intersectional rhetoric, embodiment, and rhetorical reflexivity.

The 2016 US election was ugly, divisive, maddening, and
influential. In this provocative new book, Paul Booth, Amber
Davisson, Aaron Hess, and Ashley Hinck explore the effect that
everyday people had on the political process. From viewing
candidates as celebrities, to finding fan communities within the
political spectrum, to joining others online in spreading
(mis)information, the true influence in 2016 was the online
participant. Poaching Politics brings together research and
scholars from media studies, political communication, and rhetoric
to provide an interdisciplinary perspective on the role of
participatory cultures in shaping the 2016 US presidential
election. Poaching Politics heralds a new way of creating and
understanding shifts in the nature of political communication in
the digital age.

Rhetorics Haunting the National Mall: Displaced and Ephemeral
Public Memories vividly illustrates that a nation's history is more
complicated than the simple binary of remembered/forgotten. Some
parts of history, while not formally recognized within a
commemorative landscape, haunt those landscapes by virtue of their
ephemeral or displaced presence. Rather than being discretely
contained within a formal sites, these memories remain public by
lingering along the edges and within the crevices of commemorative
landscapes. By integrating theories of haunting, place, and public
memory, this collection demonstrates that the National Mall, often
referred to as "the nation's front yard," might better be
understood as "the nation's attic" because it hides those issues we
do not want to address but cannot dismiss. The neatly ordered
installations and landscaping of the National Mall, if one looks
and listens closely, reveal the messiness of US history. From the
ephemeral memories of protests on the Mall to the displaced but
persistent presences of inequality, each chapter in this book
examines the ways in which contemporary public life in the US is
haunted by incomplete efforts to close the book on the past.
