Incorporating Mythic and Interpretive Analysis in the Investigation of Hearing Loss on the Family Farm
Despite knowing about the dangers of hearing loss, farmers typically choose not to protect their hearing. Examining the myth of farm life, this study aims to discern whether rhetorical myths influence farmers' decisions to wear hearing protection. Researchers conducted 40 interviews with farmers regarding farm life and hearing loss. Results suggest that farmers typically do not use hearing protection; their answers reflect the myths of sacrifice …
Calculating the Weather
This paper explores the rhetorical basis of a major paradigm change in meteorology, from a focus on inductive observation to deductive, mathematical reasoning. Analysis of Cleveland Abbe's “The Physical Basis of Long-Range Weather Forecasts” demonstrates how in his advocacy for a new paradigm, Abbe navigates the tension between piety to tradition and dissent necessary for innovation through the rhetorical imagination of and appeal to a disciplina…
Rhetorical Exclusion in the Trial of Leonard Peltier
In February 1973 American Indians and members of the American Indian Movement (AIM) began a seventy-one-day occupation of Wounded Knee, South Dakota.

Cultural Feeding, Good Life Science, and the TV Food Network

Consistent with the political economy approach to the study of mass media, in this article I argue that TVFN promotes a powerful good life science that promotes excessivism, waste, and dependence (cultural "feeding"). Lost in the good life science of TVF…
Meteorology and the rhetoric of nature's cultural display
On television (the primary source of weather information), meteorology, or the science of short‐term weather prediction, visually associates atmospheric information as relevant to social and economic issues. This is particularly true on The Weather Channel (TWC). This essay borrows and extends the work of Lessl and Messaris to examine the rhetoric of TV meteorology as it is displayed on TWC. I argue that TWC combines priestly (expertise) and bard…
