Rather than study how an already-materialized \"visual text\" functions within a specific context, Gries investigates how images often circulate and transform across media, genre, and location at viral rates. A four-part case study of Shepard Fairey's now iconic Obama Hope image elucidates how images reassemble collective life as they actualize in different versions, enter into various relations, and spark a firework of activity across the globe.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e While intent on tracking the rhetorical life of a single, multiple image, \u003ci\u003eStill Life with Rhetoric \u003c\/i\u003eis most concerned with studying rhetoric in motion. To account for an image's widespread circulation and emergent activities, Gries introduces iconographic tracking--a digital research method for tracing an image's divergent rhetorical becomings. Yet Gries also articulates a dynamic set of theoretical principles for studying rhetoric as a distributed, generative, and unforeseeable event that is applicable beyond the study of visual rhetoric. With an eye toward futurity--the strands of time beyond a thing's initial moment of production and delivery--\u003ci\u003eStill Life with Rhetoric\u003c\/i\u003e intends to be taken up by those interested in visual rhetoric, research methods, and theory.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50128160129297,"sku":"CIN0874219779G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50908830007569,"sku":"CIN0874219779A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51326649827601,"sku":"CIN0874219779VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52327185514769,"sku":"NLS9780874219777","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0874219779.jpg?v=1751139943"},{"product_id":"circulation-writing-and-rhetoric-book-laurie-gries-9781607326717","title":"Circulation, Writing, and Rhetoric","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile it has long been understood that the circulation of discourse, bodies, artifacts, and ideas plays an important constitutive force in our cultures and communities, circulation, as a concept and a phenomenon, has been underexamined in studies of rhetoric and writing. In an effort to give circulation its rhetorical due, \u003ci\u003eCirculation, Writing, and Rhetoric\u003c\/i\u003e introduces a wide range of studies that foreground circulation in both theory and practice. Contributors to the volume specifically explore the connections between circulation and public rhetorics, urban studies, feminist rhetorics, digital communication, new materialism, and digital research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCirculation is a cultural-rhetorical process that impacts various ecologies, communities, and subjectivities in an ever-increasing globally networked environment. As made evident in this collection, circulation occurs in all forms of discursive production, from academic arguments to neoliberal policies to graffiti to tweets and bitcoins. Even in the case of tombstones, borrowed text achieves only partial stability before it is recirculated and transformed again. This communicative process is even more evident in the digital realm, the underlying infrastructures of which we have yet to fully understand.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs public spaces become more and more saturated with circulating texts and images and as networked relations come to the center of rhetorical focus, \u003ci\u003eCirculation, Writing, and Rhetoric \u003c\/i\u003ewill be a vital interdisciplinary resource for approaching the contemporary dynamics of rhetoric and writing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors\u003c\/i\u003e: Aaron Beveridge, Casey Boyle, Jim Brown, Naomi Clark, Dànielle Nicole DeVoss, Rebecca Dingo, Sidney I.
