Abstract Occlusion is most commonly presented as an aspect of certain genres: occluded genres. Here, occlusion is proposed as a property of the processes by which genres are taken up. While routine use of genres creates expectations around when the genre’s uptake is commonly occluded, such expected practice can be subverted by deliberate disclosure. Occlusion and disclosure in the process of genre uptake thus become argumentative and powerful moves in communicative interaction. In three case studies, I analyze processes of occlusion in relationship to the genre of the letter to the university president.

Abstract Throughout Cherríe Moraga’s publications (1979 to present), we see her writings pivot from expressions of cohesive oneness to articulations of generative fragmentation. Moraga’s emerged attention to metaphorical woundedness participates in Chicanx rhetorics of fragmentation, which undermines colonial fictions that the self is whole and unified. Such rhetoric emphasizes potentials of semi-ness and creative energy of shame as strategies to confront Chicanx realities, and to engage contemporary theories of decolonialism, biopower, and embodied language. Moraga’s writings provide a lens through which we investigate how confirmation and ownership of rhetorics of fragmentation might nurture rhetorical homelands, particularly for Chicanx student writers.

Abstract This paper examines Aeschines’s speech Against Timarchus to offer frameworks for rhetoric to examine the historical particularities of sex work. Drawing on feminist and queer rhetorics, this paper rereads Against Timarchus as well as scholarly receptions of the speech to discuss how Timarchus has been positioned outside definitions of rhetoric in ways that highlight the instability of definitions of rhetoric and state power. This paper argues that kakos and atimia are useful concepts for rhetorical historiographers for examining sex work in classical Athens, as well as interrogating the power structures upon which a given definition of rhetoric is derived from.

Abstract This essay demonstrates how a progressive era Radcliffe College student (1910-1914) who earned the title “strongest woman” for her athletic feats used the unique genre affordances of the scrapbook to assert an identity that at once aligned with and contradicted dominant rhetoric about women’s bodies and education. Drawing on archived personal artifacts, the essay argues that Eleanor Stabler Brooks used this vernacular, multigenre, multivocal genre in a way that amplifies the material and the visceral through a process of bricolage, composing an embodied response to the social and institutional restrictions on her body at a time when gender values were radically destabilizing.

In The Borders of AIDS: Race, Quarantine, and Resistance , Karma R. Ch (cid:1) avez offers a meticu-lous critique of citizenship in the United States by analyzing the government ’ s response to the early AIDS crisis. The text focuses on two responses in particular: proposed quarantines for people living with HIV and a subsequent ban on HIV-positive migrants. Ch (cid:1) avez argues that quarantines and bans — which had limited basis in epidemiological science on HIV transmission — illustrate how disease response and state authority intertwine to perpetuate divides between citizens and aliens in the US. Through an analysis of policy language, political debate, news reports, congressional records, and archival activist materials, Ch (cid:1) avez shows how the US government used the HIV epidemic to further oppress and scapegoat groups that had been traditionally denied full citizenship in the US, particularly Black communities, Haitian immigrants, queer and trans communities, and sex workers. Crucially, The Borders of AIDS not only critiques state-enacted strategies that reinforced long-held divides between citizen and alien, but also catalogs how activists and those living with HIV crafted coalitions to fight back and resist oppressive policies. The book details coalitional rhetorics of resistance, including alternative media, boycotts, and protests, that queer and immigration activists developed to combat racist policies. The Borders of AIDS has broad appeal — in part because of its interdisciplinary analytic lens and its timely critique of an infectious disease pandemic. Ch (cid:1) avez ’ s discussion of immigration in studies and race and ethnic studies, and her detailed analysis of the public responses to will resonate with those in public health, queer studies, and the humanities. Ch (cid:1) s work most book within studies, particularly its analysis of persuasive enacted by and the arguments made in social justice, citizenship, and rhetorical theory.

Abstract This essay analyzes Alonzo Earl Foringer’s “Greatest Mother in the World” poster, created for the American Red Cross during World War I but circulated in Britain and America during World War I and II. Although the image was highly circulated and reproduced, it has received limited scholarly attention. The analysis examines the poster and a magazine image with accompanying text from a visual rhetoric perspective. The essay argues that the poster and magazine image deploy rhetorics of motherhood and saliency to foster “flattening effects” that not only erase other maternal figures but also elevate ideologies of white supremacy.

Abstract Musicologists question whether 1960s girl group music is “fluff or an incubator for radical ferment,” and fans question what to do with the music’s sexism, heteronormativity, and racism (McClary and Warwick 232). This article argues that 1960s girl group songs have much to teach us about a spectrum of agencies available within cultural scripts of the 1960s U.S. teen romance myth as represented in music. It also argues that being ever-attentive-in-order-to-interrupt is a feminist tactic for understanding and dealing with these songs as well as their contemporary traces within #MeToo moments.
