| Item Description: | Description based on print version record. "As our divided political climate attests, rational deliberation has failed to persuade people to rally around issues of public health, race and gender-based violence, climate threats, and political demagoguery. In response, scholars are increasingly turning to sensation for new frameworks to understand our situated, bodily responses to rapidly changing environments. Sensory Rhetorics puts rhetoric into conversation with sensory studies writ large. This volume illuminates and interrogates how rhetoric "makes sense," focusing on the ways sensation acts as a suasive force in everyday life. Essays in the volume offer an array of (multi)sensory methods and experiences to demonstrate how sensory rhetorics open new avenues for thinking about our world. Together, the authors argue that this era of unprecedented change requires new kinds of bodily knowledge and sensory methods to help us understand the most pressing issues in contemporary life."--Page 4 of cover. |
