Abstract Disabled competitors face unique challenges in competitive forensics individual events (IE). However, formal and informal institutional forces often erase their stories or worsen their situations. Although the lived experiences of disabled speakers have been studied and celebrated in disability performance art and other non-forensics performance spaces, IE has not caught up largely due to the historical shadow of the speech hygiene movement. Through a confrontation with our activity’s past and a community autoethnography of disabled competitors from the last decade, we argue that this history must be uncovered and interrogated in order to mitigate harms and promote positive change in the IE community.

Abstract The production, unveiling, and reception of David Powers’ public mural American Nocturne, 1932, in Elgin, Illinois illustrates ongoing challenges of publicly memorializing race terror. In 2007 the mural was dedicated and deceptively introduced by Powers as an allegory of the American Depression. In May 2016 two Elgin citizens recognized the mural depicted the lynch mob from the infamous photograph of the August 1930 lynchings of J. Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith in Marion, Indiana. Their post about it to a community Facebook page began a controversy. African American citizens lead the Elgin community in successfully protesting and demanding removal of the mural. Using the methods of participatory critical rhetoric, I analyze interviews with various community members to understand different perspectives on the mural and the artist’s intent. I argue that epideictic theory explains why the artist’s arguments about the meaning and intent of the mural could not withstand protestors’ critical scrutiny. Powers departed from epideictic conventions in formulating his purpose and adapting to his audience, and his ethos could not compensate. I conclude that epideictic theory may help to explain other efforts to publicly acknowledge and memorialize incidents of race terror.

Abstract Treating bodies as explicitly rhetorical, this article analyzes two queer Christian characters from the television series Queer as Folk (Showtime, 2000–2005), arguing that these guest characters represent embodied queer theologies. As they interact with main characters Brian and Justin, queer minister Tom and militant queer activist Cody offer an embodied queer theology where presence invites a visceral experience of queer Christian life. As such, these characters complicate the typical antagonistic role that Christianity often plays in queer narratives and illustrate the queer potential of embodied arguments, including in contexts of spirituality.

Abstract Extending the existing typology of interpersonal argument (i.e., public- and personal-issue argument), this manuscript focuses on a distinctive argument type: one that concerns others’ personal issues (i.e., OP arguments). OP arguments involve issues that have direct implications for other people’s personal relationships. We present a survey conducted to provide evidence for the existence of OP arguments, as well as how argument type affects people’s beliefs related to arguing from the perspective of the new conceptualization. The results have shown that OP arguments came across as more enjoyable than personal-issue arguments, but less so than public-issue ones. The participants also indicated that OP and public-issue arguments yielded similar level of pragmatic outcomes. OP and public-issue arguments were reported to be similarly ego-involving, but less so than personal-issue arguments. After having OP and personal-issue arguments, the participants indicated not having as many positive thoughts and feelings about themselves as they did after public-issue arguments.

Abstract Multi-modal argumentation is a relatively new approach in argumentation theory. In Gilbert’s approach to multi-modality, it focusses not only on the logical mode of argumentation but also on the emotional, the kisceral, and the visceral: the so-called “alternate” modes. Due to the formal institutional constraints in law, the logical mode (in its dialectical variant) is a normative imperative due to the demands of the rule of law. However, especially in the so-called unclear cases, we can find traces of the alternate modes, either in their dialectical or rhetorical dimensions. If it already has been claimed that logic is only one part of legal “business,” a multi-modal argumentation analysis of law, in a Gilbertarian style, is presented here for the first time.

Abstract Intercollegiate forensics provides space for students to learn through performance, to challenge normative frameworks, and explore intersectionality. Increasingly, student performances include content and live-action portrayal of traumatic events. Judges become captive audience members who are unable to leave if they experience (re)trauma(tization) during a performance. Through iterative thematic analysis of exploratory data (n = 65) researchers found that participants connected being triggered within rounds to the concepts of automated reactions; feeling bound by forensic norms; triggering student performance characteristics; material lived experience compared to embodied performance; and meditated judge responses.

Abstract Tracking all mentions of Ronald Reagan during presidential primary and general election debates from 1988 to 2016, we suggest that < Reagan > has emerged as a complex ideograph in contemporary political discourse. Demonstrating what we call the “personified ideograph,” this essay tracks the reverence toward Reagan that indicates the name’s status as a god term, and suggests the historic meaning of the ideograph is linked to secondary terms like “principled,” “peace through strength,” and “prosperity.” We further contend that such a calcified memory of Reagan has led to a schism in the GOP, and we describe the alternative understanding of < Reagan > as linked to such terms as “bipartisanship” and “change.”
