This book examines how rhetorically effective uses of silence and
materiality mediate feminist activism and discusses the
implications of these dynamics for pedagogy. Specifically, the text
establishes a theoretical foundation for what the author terms
"psychosocial composing," or "the metaphorical composing and
revising of individual participants and society, and the
contribution of written and visual texts as an input and output of
the relationships between individuals and social culture." This
idea is examined through primary research on the Clothesline
Project, an international event that invites people who have
experienced gender violence (directly or indirectly) to decorate
tee shirts that get hung on clotheslines in public places. Through
looking at values and roles of silence in global cultures and the
use of material arts in activist efforts, the author argues for the
unique value of silence and materiality in individual and
collective spaces. The manuscript includes discussion questions and
sample teaching materials. Overall, making connections among
composition and rhetoric, psychology, sociology, politics, women's
studies, art and design, pedagogy, and history, this book further
demonstrates the potential interdisciplinary approaches to rhetoric
and communication.
