This volume brings together three areas of scholarship and
practice: rhetoric, material life, and ecology. The chapters build
a multi-layered understanding of material life by gathering
scholars from varied theoretical and critical traditions around the
common theme of ecology. Emphasizing relationality, connectedness
and context, the ecological orientation we build informs both
rhetorical theory and environmentalist interventions. Contributors
offer practical-theoretical inquiries into several areas -
rhetoric's cosmologies, the trophe, bioregional rhetoric's, nuclear
colonialism, and more - collectively forging new avenues of
communication among scholars in environmental communication,
communication studies, and rhetoric and composition. This book aims
at inspiring and advancing ecological thinking, demonstrating its
value for rhetoric and communication as well as for environmental
thought and action.

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.
