ABSTRACTI propose the concept of public futurity as a framework for studying how communities renegotiate collective identity in times of crisis. Public futurity, which I define as the process by which groups imagine and deliberate about their shared future, demonstrates how collective identity is maintained, negotiated, and transformed over time. I theorize how futurity is experienced collectively, drawing from scholarship on Black, queer, and disability futurity to show that appeals to futurity recognize not only the possibility of change, but the impossibility of sustaining an untenable present. I apply the concept of public futurity to an analysis of public deliberation about the fate of the former Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES) oil refinery. A series of meetings organized by Philadelphia's Refinery Advisory Committee became highly contested, with mostly Black residents arguing that the site should benefit the local public and mostly white former workers fighting to keep the refinery open. Tracking how residents and former workers leveraged futurity differently in their arguments, I demonstrate how residents revealed the impossibility of the refinery's continued survival. I argue that a key process of public futurity is contending with the liminality of collective identity, and that undoing is necessary for transformation.KEYWORDS: Publicsenvironmental justicefuturitytemporalitytransformation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Scholarship on rhetoric and futurity includes: Kelly Happe, “Utopia and Crisis,” Philosophy & Rhetoric 53, no. 3 (2020): 272–8; Matthew Houdek and Kendall Phillips, “Rhetoric and the Temporal Turn: Race, Gender, Temporalities,” Women’s Studies in Communication 43, no. 4 (2020): 369–83; Lore/etta LeMaster and Amber Johnson, “Speculative Fiction, Criticality, and Futurity: An Introduction,” Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies 18, no. 3 (2021): 280–2; Ersula Ore and Matthew Houdek, “Lynching in Times of Suffocation: Toward a Spatiotemporal Politics of Breathing,” Women’s Studies in Communication 43, no. 4 (2020): 443–58; Candice Rai, Democracy’s Lot: Rhetoric, Publics, and the Places of Invention (Tuscaloosa: The University of Alabama Press, 2016); and Haley Schneider, “Deliberative Topoi and the Pull of the Future: Bridging Disparate Visions of Dresden Elbe Valley,” Rhetoric Society Quarterly 49, no. 5 (2019): 495–516.2 Max Marin, “South Philly Refinery’s Long History of Fires, Explosions, Deaths and Injuries,” Billy Penn, June 21, 2019, https://billypenn.com/2019/06/21/south-philly-refinerys-long-history-of-fires-explosions-deaths-and-injuries/ (accessed September 4, 2023).3 Catalina Jaramillo, “With South Philadelphia Refinery in Bankruptcy Proceedings, Neighbors See an Opportunity for Cleaner Air,” WHYY, January 31, 2018, https://whyy.org/articles/south-philadelphia-refinery-bankruptcy-proceedings-neighbors-see-opportunity-cleaner-air/ (accessed Septem

ABSTRACTSocial movements require participatory dissent. Facing tensions between ideological purity and mass popularity, movements that desire to be politically effective and act in the interest of their participants need dissent that leads to revision instead of conflict that devolves to dissolution. Using three examples from the 2017 and 2019 Women’s Marches, this essay theorizes “disparticipation.” Building from José Esteban Muñoz’s Disidentifications, I define disparticipation as participatory, disidentifying dissent. While disparticipants may be seen as not participating, or even counter-protesting, I reframe their participation as a “diss” of a protest for a lack of nuanced politics. Disparticipants dissent from binary oppositions of popular/pure and reformist/radical and disidentify to promote coalition-building. Women’s March disparticipants dissed white feminist racism, cissexism, and antisemitism. Disparticipation generates discourse that can expand the topoi of protest rhetoric by revealing and responding to broader structural injustices.KEYWORDS: Social movementsWomen’s March; disidentification; dissent; digital participation AcknowledgmentsEarlier versions of this article were presented at: the Northwest Honors Symposium, Pacific Lutheran University, November 2017; Camp Rhetoric, Pennsylvania State University, March 2019; the Alta Conference on Argumentation, Alta, UT, August 2019, and a small portion was published in its proceedings, Local Theories of Argument; the National Communication Association Conference, Baltimore, MD, November 2019; and, finally, in my dissertation Living a Participatory Life: Reformatting Rhetoric for Demanding, Digital Times, supervised by Damien S.

ABSTRACTThis essay situates X González’s oratory and activism for gun legislation within Jacques Lacan’s Discourse of the Analyst to argue for the affirmative role of analytic silence in a body politic riddled with gun death, gridlock, thoughts, and prayers. Psychoanalytic treatment aims at intervention into a patient’s recurring patterns of behavior and speech that uphold their status quo of suffering.

摘要本文将X González在枪支立法方面的演讲和行动主义置于雅克·拉康的《分析者的话语》中,以论证在一个充斥着枪支死亡、僵局、思想和祈祷的政体中,分析沉默的积极作用。精神分析治疗的目的是干预患者反复出现的行为和语言模式,这些模式维持了他们的痛苦现状。我的文章论证了拉康话语理论在修辞学研究中的实践和概念上的效用,通过将X作为分析者来反对枪支的文化逻辑,这是我通过大师的话语来模拟的统治逻辑。关键词:《分析者的话语》《大师的话语》Gonzálezsilencegun暴力披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。注1约翰·伍德罗·考克斯等人,《哥伦拜事件以来共发生380起校园枪击案》,《华盛顿邮报》,2023年5月1日,https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/interactive/school-shootings-database/.2“这就是美国的常态,”《时代》周刊,2021年3月24日,https://time.com/5949772/mass-shootings-normal-america/.3本·马蒂斯-利利,“当枪支暴力活动人士不再彬彬有礼时,‘将我的死亡政治化’的承诺会发生什么,”《Slate》杂志,2018年2月16日,https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/02/politicize-my-death-pledge-takes-gun-control-activism-to-a-new-level.html.4我们可以反过来证明这一点。枪支暴力没有被描述为精神疾病,也没有与阴谋联系在一起,而是被管理和接受为孤狼的隐喻Gordon Witkin,“观点:这是我们现在可以做的关于枪支暴力的事情”,纽约时报,2023年5月21日,观点部分,https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/21/opinion/guns-fbi-backgound-nics.html.6, Calum Lister Matheson,“自由的眼泪和流氓的虐待保守主义的故事”,修辞学季刊,第52期。4(2022): 353.7艾扬格、尚托、伊夫塔奇·勒克斯、马修·莱文达斯基、尼尔·马尔霍特拉和肖恩·j·韦斯特伍德。“美国情感两极分化的起源和后果”。政治科学年度评论22,第2期。1(2019年5月11日):129-46。https://doi.org/10.1146/annurev-polisci-051117-073034.8姆拉丹·多尔,一种声音,仅此而已(剑桥,马萨诸塞州:麻省理工学院出版社,2006年),172.9贾斯汀·埃克斯坦,“感知校园枪击事件”,《媒体传播批判研究》37,第37期。杨建军,杨建军,杨建军,“枪支的存在与不存在:在科迪枪械博物馆的存在与不存在”,《传播与批判/文化研究》第8期。Rishi Chebrolu,“迪伦·鲁夫的种族镜头:新媒体上的种族焦虑与白人民族主义修辞”,《传播评论》第20期,2011。13 .道格拉斯·凯尔纳:《人与枪的疯狂:从俄克拉荷马爆炸案到弗吉尼亚理工大学大屠杀的国内恐怖主义与校园枪击案》(纽约:劳特利奇出版社,2015)凯西·瑞安·凯利《天启人:死亡驱动与白人男性受害者的修辞》(哥伦布:萨拉·杜瓦尔,“了解跨性别者枪支暴力的威胁”,吉福兹(博客),2021年3月31日,https://giffords.org/blog/2021/03/understanding-the-threat-of-gun-violence-for-transgender-people/.15杰克·希利等人,“在一个武装到牙齿的国家,这些微小的失误导致了悲剧,”《纽约时报》,2023年4月20日,美国版,https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/20/us/wrong-house-shootings-guns.html.16 Brian L.

ABSTRACTOn October 18, 2019, members of the Colombian Army covered a highly visible mural with white paint. The mural depicted the Army’s active and retired generals who are allegedly responsible for extrajudicial executions committed by their subordinates in the 2000s. The Army’s efforts failed; in attempting to make the mural invisible, the Army ensured the mural’s visibility through online circulation. In this article, I describe the rhizomatic emergence of the image in the digital space through different forms and articulations as a challenge to the Army’s intention to screen out a narrative in the physical landscape. I argue that the circulation of the image and its transformations into remixes and other visual representations constitutes an instance of online symbolic accretion. I propose the theoretical concept of rhizomorph, understood as a digital image event that transforms as it moves through a digitally mediated environment to provide an alternative conception of a particular event.KEYWORDS: Rhizomorphonline symbolic accretioncirculationimage eventextrajudicial executions AcknowledgementI would like to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude to Dr. Roger Aden for his insightful suggestions and invaluable contributions to this study.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1 Amanda C.

2019年10月18日,哥伦比亚军队成员用白色油漆覆盖了一幅非常显眼的壁画。这幅壁画描绘了军队的现役和退役将军,据称他们对2000年代下属的法外处决负有责任。军队的努力失败了;为了使壁画隐形,陆军通过在线流通确保了壁画的可见性。在本文中,我通过不同的形式和表达方式描述了数字空间中图像的根茎状出现,这是对陆军在物理景观中筛选叙事的意图的挑战。我认为,图像的循环及其转换为混音和其他视觉表现构成了在线符号增长的一个实例。我提出了根状形态的理论概念,将其理解为一种数字图像事件,当它在数字媒介环境中移动时,它会发生变化,从而为特定事件提供另一种概念。关键词:根状植物在线符号增生循环图像事件法外处决感谢Roger Aden博士对本研究提出的深刻建议和宝贵贡献。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。注1 Amanda C.
