Starting with the supposition that violence is communicative andmeant to \"send a message\"-be it to deter, to scare, or to threaten-Megan Eatman goes one step further to argue that violence needs to be understood on a deeper level: as direct, structural, cultural, and constitutive across modes, a formulation that requires rethinking its rhetorical aims as less about conscious persuasion and more about the gradual shaping of public identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e While Eatman looks to examples of violent spectacles to make her case (lynching, capital punishment, and torture in the War on Terror), it is in her analysis of more mundane responses to these forms of violence (congressional debates, court documents, visual art, and memorial performance) where the key to her argument lies-as she shows how circulating violence in these ways produces violent rhetorical ecologies that facilitate some modes of being while foreclosing others. Through this ecological approach, \u003ci\u003eEcologies of Harm\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new understanding of the debates surrounding legacies of violence, examines how rhetoric and violence function \u003ci\u003etogether, \u003c\/i\u003e and explores implications of their entanglement for antiviolence work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Megan Eatman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814214347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814214343\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2021","brand":"Megan Eatman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086914007295,"sku":"9780814214343","price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38c49ab2-78f6-4c0c-9b34-aa090714d1be.jpg?v=1769097292","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ecologies-of-harm-megan-eatman-9780814214343","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
