Examines the rhetorical role of images in communicating
environmental ideas.
Mediating Nature considers how technology acts as a mediating
device in the construction and circulation of images that inform
how we see and know nature. Scholarship in environmental
communication has focused almost exclusively on verbal rather than
visual rhetoric, and this book engages ecocritical and
ecocompositional inquiry to shift focus onto the making of images.
Contributors to this dynamic collection focus their efforts on the
intersections of digital media and environmental/ecological
thinking. Part of the book's larger argument is that analysis of
mediations of nature must develop more critical tools of analysis
toward the very mediating technologies that produce such media.
That is, to truly understand mediations of nature, one needs to
understand the creation and production of those mediations, right
down to the algorithms, circuit boards, and power sources that
drive mediating technologies. Ultimately, Mediating Nature contends
that ecological literacy and environmental politics are inseparable
from digital literacies and visual rhetorics. The book will be of
interest to scholars and students working in the fields of
Ecocriticism, Ecocomposition, Media Ecology, Visual Rehtoric, and
Digital Literacy Studies.
This book theorizes digital logics and applications for the
rhetorical canon of delivery. Digital writing technologies invite a
re-evaluation about what delivery can offer to rhetorical studies
and writing practices. Sean Morey argues that what delivery
provides is access to the unspeakable, unconscious elements of
rhetoric, not primarily through emotion or feeling as is usually
offered by previous studies, but affect, a domain of sensation
implicit in the (overlooked) original Greek term for delivery,
hypokrisis. Moreover, the primary means for delivering affect is
both the logic and technology of a network, construed as modern,
digital networks, but also networks of associations between humans
and nonhuman objects. Casting delivery in this light offers new
rhetorical trajectories that promote its incorporation into digital
networked-bodies. Given its provocative and broad reframing of
delivery, this book provides original, robust ways to understand
rhetorical delivery not only through a lens of digital writing
technologies, but all historical means of enacting delivery,
offering implications that will ultimately affect how scholars of
rhetoric will come to view not only the other canons of rhetoric,
but rhetoric as a whole.

There is clear overlap in interests and influences for the fields
of Atlantic, environmental, and southern history, but scholarship
in them has often advanced on parallel tracks. This anthology
places itself at the intersection, pushing for a new confluence.
Editors Thomas Blake Earle and D. Andrew Johnson provide a lucid
introduction to this collection of essays that brings these
disciplines together. With this volume, historians explore crucial
insights into a self-consciously Atlantic environmental history of
the American South, touching on such topics as ideas about slavery,
gender, climate, "colonial ecological revolution," manipulation of
the landscape, infrastructure, resources, and exploitation. By
centering this project on a region, the American South-defined as
the southeastern reaches of North America and the Caribbean- the
authors interrogate how European colonizers, Native Americans, and
Africans interacted in and with the (sub)tropics, a place foreign
to Europeans. Challenging the concepts of "Atlantic" and "southern"
and their intersection with "environments" is a discipline-defining
strategy at the leading edge of emerging scholarship. Taken
collectively, this book should encourage more readers to reimagine
this region, its time periods, climate(s), and ecocultural
networks.
