Synopsis

Readings in Rhetorical Fieldwork compiles foundational articles highlighting the development of fieldwork in rhetorical criticism. Presenting a wide variety of approaches, the volume begins with a section establishing the starting points for the development of fieldwork in rhetorical criticism and then examines five topics: Space & Place; Public Memory; Publics and Counterpublics; Advocacy and Activism; and Science, Technology, and Medicine. Within these sections, readers evaluate a full spectrum of methods, from interviews, to oral histories, to participant observation. This volume is invaluable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of rhetorical criticism, rhetorical fieldwork, and qualitative methods looking for a comprehensive overview of the development of rhetorical fieldwork.

Media Reviews

This collection is sharply curated yet appropriately broad in scope. With consideration of the vernacular, the everyday, and the ephemeral, it directs critical attention to the pervasive and visceral rhetorics that guide publics and discourses yet might otherwise be overlooked. These essays capture the pulse of rhetoric's turn toward participatory field research and ethnography-perhaps the most significant and widespread disciplinary shift for rhetorical studies in the current time.
