{"product_id":"precarious-rhetorics-wendy-s-hesford-9780814254912","title":"Precarious Rhetorics","description":"Across disciplines, scholars have employed theories of precarity to help explain the pervasiveness of problems related to labor, migration, biopolitics, global and state governance, economies of war and violence, poverty, environmental degradation, and a host of other pressing issues. \u003ci\u003ePrecarous Rhetorics\u003c\/i\u003e is the first work to bring precarity studies to the field of rhetoric and communication--and to couple it with new materialist frameworks--in order to unearth and analyze the material conditions and structuring logics of inequality. \u003cbr\u003e This collection features cross-disciplinary contributions from leading scholars, including the editors of the volume as well as James J. Brown Jr., Gale Coskan-Johnson, Ronald Greene, Lavinia Hirsu, Arabella Lyon, Louis Maraj, Sara McKinnon, Alexandra Schultheis Moore, Kimberlee P駻ez, Margaret Price, Amy Shuman, Kristin Swenson, Becca Tarsa, and Belinda Walzer. Chapters emphasize a materialist-rhetorical approach while also drawing on feminist studies, women of color feminisms, affect studies, critical disability studies, critical race and ethnic studies, medical humanities, sexuality studies, queer migration studies, and human rights and humanitarian studies. While theoretically rich, this volume intentionally features chapters that explore precarious rhetorics as they operate \u003ci\u003ein practice\u003c\/i\u003e--whether in borderlands, politics, public policy, or the quotidian spaces of human activity, such as school, work, social media, and medicine. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wendy S.
