Böcker av Chris Ingraham

A cowritten "multigraph" that began in 2018 as a reading group, this book enacts an intimate, mutualistic spirit of shared critical inquiry and play--an exciting new way of doing-thinking-feeling rhetorical studies by six prominent scholars in rhetoric from communication and English departments alike. Assuming climates to be rhetorical and rhetoric to be climatic, A Reading Group offers a framework for making sense of rhetorical studies as they grapple with the challenges posed by antiracist, decolonial, affective, ecological, and more-than-human scholarship to a tradition with a long history of being centered around individual, usually privileged, human agents wielding language as their principal instrument.

Chris Ingraham shows that gestures of concern, such as sharing or liking a post on social media, are central to establishing the necessary conditions for larger social or political change because they help to build the affective communities that orient us to one another with an imaginable future in mind.
