Hello all avid readers of Richardson’s rhetoric, as I prepare for the next stage in my term paper, I need some help. Currently I am drafting a list of readings for my critical perspective.
Overall, my project looks at the intersection of public memory and visual politics. Here is my list so far:
Deluca- Image Politics
Vivian- Public Forgetting
Phillips- Public Memory
Edelman- The symbolic uses of politics
Hariman and Lucaites: No caption needed
Prelli- Rhetorics of Displays (edited volume)
Olson, Finnegan, and Hope: Visual Rhetoric (edited volume)
Habermas- The public sphere
W.J.T. Mitchell- What do pictures want
Sturken- Tangled Memories
My goal is to research how visual politics function in the public sphere of American address. There are several concepts I’m considering exploring such as: Participatory Democracy, Cultural Memories, Public Forgetting, rational discourse in a public sphere, and emotional management.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
I'm not familiar with visual rhetoric specifically, Dave. However, I'm wondering if you've considered including some readings from the more poststructural-rhetorical perspective. I know, I know, you're not necessarily a Foucault person - and I'm not saying that you should be. However, I would contend that anything that includes Habermas should at least attempt to address Foucault.
