Photography: The Abundant Art
Photography has long been criticized for excessive reproduction that creates an image world capable of displacing more authentic relationships, while anxieties about the deluge of images have been magnified further by the comprehensive use of digital technologies. Although such concerns are not wholly misplaced, the concept of excess distorts understanding of photography and public spectatorship. By reframing photography as an abundant art, one c…
The Public Image: Photography and Civic Spectatorship
Bringing War Down to Earth: The Dialectic of Pity and Compassion in Doonesbury 's View of Combat Trauma
Post-traumatic stress disorder among returning veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has invoked all manner of public responses, not least of which is a sense of pity that begins and ends with the moment of recognition. As such, the publicity of soldier sufferance ironically mitigates the need for a more complex socialization to the pain of war that might be animated by a more nuanced emotional response rooted in the disruption of common…

Telescopic mourning/warring in the global village: Decomposing (Japanese) authority figures
One of the symptoms of globalization is an increased tension between friendship and enmity in international and transnational relationships. This dialectic is enacted through a democratic aesthetic of “telescopic mourning/warring.” US media representations of US–Japan relations from World War II through the funeral of Emperor Hirohito are examined to identify conventional persuasive devices for enacting telescopic mourning/warring and to consider…
Public Identity and Collective Memory in U.S. Iconic Photography: The Image of "Accidental Napalm"
Thirty years after the fact, the Vietnam War continues to haunt the collective memory of the United States. One of the primary embodiments of that haunting is the image of a naked girl running down a road toward the camera, screaming in pain and terror from the napalm burns on her back and arms. The photograph, often dubbed “accidental napalm,” provides a complex construction of viewer response that was uniquely suited to the conditions of repres…
Performing civic identity: The iconic photograph of the flag raising on Iwo Jima
Iconic photographs are widely recognized as representations of significant historical events, activate strong emotional response, and are reproduced across a range of media, genres, or topics. The appeal of the iconic image of a group of Marines raising the U.S. flag on Iwo Jima arises from its embodiment of three discourses of political identity— egalitarianism, nationalism, and civic republicanism. Its appropriations reflect a range of public a…

Visualizing “the people”: Individualism vs. collectivism in let us now praise famous men
This essay argues that the alleged demise of a unified and coherent public in contemporary twentieth‐century American political discourse is more a symptom of how we have visually objectified “the people” than it is a newly discovered fragmentation of the “thing” itself. This claim is developed by examining the emergence of social documentary photojournalism in the 1930s and its ideological implications for American liberal‐democratic rhetorical …

The rhetorical boundaries of ‘the law’: A consideration of the rhetorical culture of legal practice and the case of the ‘separate but equal’ doctrine
In the lexicon of contemporary liberal‐democratic legal practice, to “think like a lawyer” is to have mastered the fundamental, rational principles of “the law, “ a mastery which confers a technical, professional understanding of legal practices unavailable to ordinary, untrained people. This essay invites critics to take a different approach to jurisprudence, one that looks at the ways in which laws are negotiated within the broader rhetorical c…
Crafting Equality: America's Anglo-African Word.
Philosophers and historians often treat fundamental concepts like equality as if they existed only as fixed ideas found solely in the canonical texts of civilization. In Crafting Equality, Celeste Michelle Condit and John Louis Lucaites argue that the meaning of at least one key word equality has been forged in the day-to-day pragmatics of public discourse. Drawing upon little studied speeches, newspapers, magazines, and other public discourse, C…

Malcolm X and the Limits of the Rhetoric of Revolutionary Dissent
The correlation between the recent revival of interest in Malcolm X among America’s Black male youth and the Los Angeles riots of 1992 should not surprise us. ’ After all, the Los Angeles riots were (allegedly) precipitated by an inherently racist juridical system and a racist judicial decision. And it was Malcolm X, America’s most thorough and relentless revolutionary dissident of the 1960s, who loudly implored his Black brothers and sisters to …
Reconstructing: Culturetypal and counter‐cultural Rhetorics in the martyred black vision
A guiding purpose of most social and political minority movements in a pluralistic society is to achieve legitimacy in the terms of the dominant ideology. In Anglo‐American liberal democracies such legitimation is located in the ideograph , an ideological commitment which promotes “sameness” and “identity.” An interesting feature of is that it functions implicitly as a rhetoric of control, requiring those who would achieve legitimacy to sublimate…
