Trafficking Rhetoric
Introduction: The torque of state veneration and state violence -- Speculative figures : the rhetorical material of trafficking estimates -- Anti-Blackness by analogy : human trafficking as modern-day slavery -- Glaring whiteness : trafficking visual rhetoric and tropes of blindness -- "A really hostile environment for illegal migrants" : state violence, misery, and immobility -- Conclusion: The disappearing right to remain
White intransigence and the radical rhetoric of Blacks fighting back
This essay analyzes the riverfront brawl in Montgomery, Alabama in 2023 to consider an instance when Black speech was met by white intransigence. I define white intransigence as a racist rhetorical convention that entails refusals to move in response to Black claims to public space. I then identify how Black bystanders on the riverfront enacted collective self-defense that beat back white intransigence through a radical rhetoric of embodied, conf…
Rhetoric and Sexual Violence
Annie Hill and Carol A. Stabile discuss U.S. cultural and political shifts in relation to sexual violence and what that means for rhetoric, public affairs, and the academic landscape
The Visual and Sonic Registers of Neighbourhood Estrangement
As COVID-19 ravages the United States, calls to police for COVID-related concerns are proliferating. This article asks what happens when a contagious and novel disease creates a context wherein neighbours recognise each other – by sight and by sound – as strangers. Marking the twentieth anniversary of Strange Encounters, we revisit Sara Ahmed’s claim that recognition in embodied encounters produces strangers as figures who are internal to communi…
Producing the Crisis
In spring 2017, I participated in a panel at a Midwestern university, titled The Human Trafficking Crisis: Strategies for Resistance. It was described to me as a debate on trafficking but turned ou
Introduction

How to Stage a Raid
The article analyses a UK police raid in 2005 on a West Midlands massage parlour called Cuddles. This raid to rescue victims of trafficking reflects a state approach that, despite police claims to the media, is not victim-centred. In publicising the raid, the police and media participate in discriminatory practices that reproduce a master narrative of trafficking and cause harm to the women the state purports to protect. This article examines det…
SlutWalk as perifeminist response to rape logic
Questions about the meaning and value of SlutWalk have generated considerable public debate. This article explores how SlutWalk subverts rape logic, rendering it apparent and absurd while circulating counterclaims to oppose sexual violence. By reclaiming “slut” through performative protest and political mobilization, SlutWalk offers trenchant critiques of rape logic's conflation of clothes and consent. Although media and feminist commentators ali…
