Rhetorical Climatology

Chris Ingraham, John Ackerman, Jennifer Lin LeMesurier, Bridie McGreavy, Candace Rai, Nathan Stormer

What if rhetoric and climate are intimately connected? Taking climates to be rhetorical and rhetoric to be climatic, A Reading Group offers a generative 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. Understanding the atmospheric and ambient energies of rhetoric underscores the challenges and promises of trying to heal a harmed world from within it. A cowritten "multigraph," which 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, and feeling rhetorical studies by six prominent scholars in rhetoric from communication and English departments alike.
