Abstract How can rhetors refute dehumanizing rhetoric regarding cities? To address this question, I analyze the argumentative clash between two photobooks: Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre’s The Ruins of Detroit and Dave Jordano’s Detroit Unbroken Down. I focus on strategies they use to create spatial and temporal presence in order to argue for how viewers ought to see Detroit. I find that Marchand and Meffre use the frame of abandonment and adhere to conventions of contemporary de-industrial ruin photography to argue that Detroit is an abandoned ruinscape. They relegate Detroit to the past and make Detroiters absent, thereby distancing viewers from the city’s residents. I find that Jordano refutes that view of Detroit by using the humanity frame and elements of portraiture photography to argue that Detroit is a living city. He situates the city in the present and makes Detroiters present, thereby highlighting residents’ agency and encouraging connection between viewers and residents. The analysis shows how visual arguments can make present the humanity of cities and their residents, thereby making it increasingly difficult to perpetuate dehumanizing discourse regarding cities.

Abstract Like many neighborhoods in cities across the United States, Gifford Park—a neighborhood in Omaha, Nebraska—has been recreating itself through urban agriculture. Past research about urban agriculture reveals that it can operate as a material argument that resists negative characterizations and empowers residents, but this argument is incomplete. This case study extends the idea that places can function as spatial arguments and conceptualizes urban agriculture as a place ballet. Place ballets, which describe the interactions between places and bodies, offer a way of thinking about large-scale, slow-moving rhetorical action as well as demonstrating how economic and racial privilege manifest in the place and bodies—the material foundations of a place ballet. I argue that urban agriculture functions as a place ballet that reveals a complex, material argument about the positive impacts places and bodies can have on communities and community members while simultaneously overlooking the economic and racial privileges inherent in these efforts. Although the concept of a place ballet is a useful way to bring together two aspects of material rhetoric—place and bodies—it carries its own implications of economic and racial privilege.

Abstract Political debate research has investigated gender in the contexts of mix-gendered debates and women’s political campaigns, but how does gender factor in political debates between men? To address this question, I analyze the three 2012 U.S. General Election debates between President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney. I find that Obama and Romney described crises for the American family that they sought to resolve by enacting presidential masculinity designed to protect the national family: either as a nurturing father who works with families (Obama) or as a strong father who works on behalf of families (Romney). Both strategies involved enabling families to be more effective social and economic units with appropriate help from the state. Examining these strategies illustrates how debates rhetorically stabilize broader discourses of gender relations and frame the need for and possibility of social justice activism.

Abstract The forensic activity provides an opportunity for students to tackle a variety of topics and subjects. Many topics, specifically in individual events, can provide an outlet for competitors to self-disclose information to audience members. For this qualitative study, we interviewed 13 participants to understand how forensic competitors use self-disclosure within forensics. Our findings suggest that competitors use forensic competitions to implicitly and explicitly self-disclose private information. Additionally, competitors noted using negative experiences with disclosure and general forensic norms to develop privacy boundary rules when determining whether to self-disclose. Most importantly, the study results provide descriptions of and explanations for the types of communication strategies competitors incorporated when considering self-disclosures in forensics. We discuss implications for communication privacy management theory and for competitors, forensic practitioners, and communication scholars.

Abstract To address the apparent chaos and confusion of the assault weapons ban controversy, I analyze and evaluate the three-decade controversy over how or whether to prohibit so-called “assault weapons” through the lens of definitional argument scholarship. I consider the history and origin of the term in the discourses of advocates of an assault weapons ban, and the definitional critiques by opponents that contributed to a “definitional rupture.” I find that as a result of this three-decades long interaction, the rupture has been somewhat repaired as a convergence has emerged among ban proponents and opponents regarding the standards and purposes of “assault weapon” definitions. However, this convergence is accompanied by diverging “assault weapon” definitions and increasing polarization on the policy issue. I conclude that theoretical constructs from definitional argument scholarship can be used to analyze lengthy definitional controversies, and that diachronic context can serve as an evaluative tool and means to theorize the periodization of public definitional controversies.
