Introduction
As the US approaches an intense inflection point in this grand experiment with democratic ideals, a pinched nerve in the form of a presidential election, this second special anniversary forum considers what resources (I almost said weapons) lay undiscovered or undervalued with which we may forge a future. Fortunately, there are gems – brilliant in the proper light – available for use; from the Global South to the US South, this forum imagines mor…
Becoming Human
The cover art for Zakiyyah Iman Jackson's Becoming Human: Matter and Meaning in an Antiblack World is startling and alluring.1 A Black female human-animal defiantly meets one's gaze. With bull-like horns and ears jutting out of both sides of the head, thick, matted hair (fur?) migrating from the crown of the head to the brow, this portrait of a hybrid species challenges the senses and the imaginary. Leaning into the spectator's eyeline with shoul…
A monstrous genre—violent “man”
Ersula J. Ore's Lynching: Violence, Rhetoric, and American Identity begins and ends with a poignant narration of her own seizure by the police. Its poetry does not belie the terror. Rather, the ter
Postracial fantasies, blackness, and zombies
The essay mainly performs a structural and formal analysis of the logics and affective economies of postracial fantasies so as to eventually offer the Zombie trope as a mode of analysis figuring alternative ways of thinking race relations. The essay contends that the Zombie, when articulated with discourses and feelings of the postracial, signifies the unleashing of black bio-threat bodies upon a population; and that enjoyment of the postracial a…
Critical Cosmopolitanism, Antagonism, and Social Suffering
This response will contemplate how the fluid mechanics managing the dialectic between nationalism and cosmopolitanism were imbricated with the affective registers of racialized forms of conceptualizing and categorizing the discipline. I want to suggest that the manner in which claims of belonging to and eviction from national dwelling places can be historically coordinated with this nation's emergent racial imaginaries. I will argue that this his…
What Is This “Post-” in Postracial, Postfeminist… (Fill in the Blank)
The events of the 2008 election continue to spark prognostications that we live in a world that is postracial/feminist, and so on. At the 2009 NCA (National Communication Association) convention, a panel of communication scholars discussed how to approach questions of identity and communication over the next 5 years. Participants suggested ways to be critical of assertions of “post” and elaborated ways to encounter new dimensions of identificatio…
American Crucible
Theorizing Cyberspace
This article offers the idea of voice as a way to think of cyberspace and the internet. It is argued that web pages represent the presence of individuals and institutions representing what they have to say. Consequently, we would argue that a robust construct such as voice might offer an unique theoretical lens through which to examine the internet and cyberspace phenomenon. This article argues that cyberspace can be conceptualized as a discursiv…
African American ethos and hermeneutical rhetoric
This essay explores the ways through which Alain Locke's anthology of African American art and criticism, The New Negro: An Interpretation, constituted an African American ethos during the Harlem Renaissance. Loche enacted a hermeneutical rhetoric that reinterpreted black folk tradition, African artistry, and modem pragmatism as topoi for rhetorical practice, and his discursive strategies appropriated and modified divergent cultural traditions to…
Voice" and "voicelessness" in rhetorical studies
This essay begins with the observation that the term "voice" is frequently used in rhetorical studies literature. Interestingly, rhetorical "voice" means different things to different scholars.
