The Trials of Nina McCall
It is nearly a truism that the law is one of the most powerful weapons in the centuries-old battle to control women's sexuality. Yet significant gaps remain in historical study of that conflict. Scott W. Stern addresses a largely forgotten front. For decades the United States enforced a federal plan to combat the spread of sexually transmitted infections (Stis) by arresting suspected prostitutes, subjecting them to physical examinations and forci…
Talitha L. LeFlouria. Chained in Silence
The American Civil War effectively ended the South’s access to the slave labor traditionally relied upon in its agrarian economy. It did not eliminate the racial, political, social, and economic factors that facilitated the exploitation and abuse of black labor. The result of this toxic combination was the shift of that exploitation from slave state to carceral state, where prisons supplied a stream of black captive laborers. The evolution of thi…
Revisionism and collective memory
This essay problematizes "history" and "public memory" by examining their polysemic and polyvalent nature. Collective memories are selectively chosen and highlighted to fit the needs of a particular social group. Ownership of "history" then becomes a hegemonic device that controls our interpretation of the past and subsequent behavior in the future. In the case of the "Amistad Affair, "the ramifications of these choices reached from the early nin…
You know it when you see it
Kenneth Burke places order and hierarchy at the heart of his rhetorical theory. The impulse to order creates categories of terms used by cultures to construct social orders based on race, gender, class and economic status. These lead to a “paradox of purity” wherein individuals are evaluated substantively from that category despite their individual motivations. In 1925, a woman of mixed blood was accused of defrauding her husband by “passing” as …

Creative casuistry and feminist consciousness
The American Female Moral Reform Society was one of the first ante‐bellum reform movements to be founded and controlled by women. This paper examines the rhetoric of the society's primary organ, The Advocate of Moral Reform, to discover how these women justified abandoning their traditional feminine roles to pursue social change. The analysis reveals that through skillful casuistic stretching of the feminine ideal, the women were able to justify …
The role of character in public moral argument
The narrative perspective assumes that people may argue using premises based upon stories and dramas that have correspondence to their life experience. A central element of these stories is the characterization of their protagonists. This paper explores the importance of character by analyzing how it was utilized by the principals in the adultery trials of Henry Ward Beecher. It reveals how characterizations that were created in the literary real…
No Laughing Matter
Limitations on the comic frame
Kenneth Burke's concept of literary reference "frames" has become important in the study of rhetoric and social change. The tragic frame has been thoroughly examined, but other metaphors for rhetorical movements remain relatively unexplored. The rhetoric of selected woman humorists from 1820 to 1880 exemplifies the operation of various frames related to the comic. The prevailing form of women's humor became less and less truly comic, eventually s…
Gandhi and the comic frame
Gandhi's concept of civil disobedience is analyzed through an application of Kenneth Burke's “comic frame.” His leadership of the Indian civil rights movement is characterized by a ritual form emphasizing a recognition of both social and individual power, attempts at identification with the social order even while attacking it, and an emphasis on epiphany as a ritual goal. The “comic frame,” it is argued, is a useful construct for interpreting an…
