Water, Rhetoric, and Social Justice: A Critical Confluence examines
how individuals and communities have responded on a global scale to
present day water crises as matters of social justice, through
oratory, mass demonstration, deliberation, testimony, and other
rhetorical appeals. This book applies critical communication
methods and perspectives to interrogate the pressing yet
mind-boggling dilemma currently faced in environmental studies and
policy: that clean water, the very stuff of life, which flows
freely from the tap in affluent areas, is also denied to huge
populations, materially and fluidly exemplifying the currents of
justice, liberty, and equity. Contributors highlight discourse and
water justice movements in nonofficial spheres from activists,
artists, and the grassroots. In extending the technical, economic,
moral, and political conversations on water justice, this
collection applies special focus on the novel rhetorical concepts
and responses not necessarily unique to but especially enacted in
water justice situations. Scholars of rhetoric, sociology,
activism, communication, and environmental studies will find this
book particularly useful.
In recent decades, some of the most celebrated and culturally
influential American oratorical performances have come not from
political leaders or religious visionaries, but from stand-up
comics. Even though comedy and satire have been addressed by
rhetorical scholarship in recent decades, little attention has been
paid to stand-up. This collection is an attempt to further
cultivate the growing conversation about stand-up comedy from the
perspective of the rhetorical tradition. It brings together
literatures from rhetorical, cultural, and humor studies to provide
a unique exploration of stand-up comedy that both argues on behalf
of the form's capacity for social change and attempts to draw
attention to a series of otherwise unrecognized rhetors who have
made significant contributions to public culture through comedy.
