Temporal tensions in young adults’ efforts towards influencing institutional climate action
In this Viewpoint we draw attention to an overlooked tension at the intersection of young adults’ and older adults’ everyday life-world temporalities, and argue that this tension presents a considerable intergenerational challenge for the enabling of young people’s agency for climate action. We articulate the often-cyclical nature of young people’s everyday temporalities, especially for those within formal education systems based on year-on-year …

This chapter ofi'ers an evaluative assessment of the fluid, evolving interface between citizen scientists and citizen journalists where the news reporting of environmental issues is concerned, Citizen science, depending on how it is defined, dates back over centuries, and has often been described using a host of different terms - recent examples include 'do-it-yourself science', 'crowdsourced science' or 'democratised science', as well as 'mass s…
Beyond Frames: Recovering the Strategic in Climate Communication
Recent calls for communication scholars and practitioners to identify effective communication means for mobilizing constituencies to address climate change often fall to distinguish between communicative acts that “mobilize” and mobilization that enables a particular end. The latter presupposes an account of the intentional or strategic alignment of mobilization, that is, the predicted or assumed relationships among a mobilized public, the mode(s…
Performing memory/speech: Aesthetic boundaries and “the other” in Ghetto and the normal heart
Tudy Yordon's and Robert Bradley's extraordinary accounts of their producJ tions of Ghetto and The Normal Heart invite us to consider a number of intriguing questions about its audiences, and praxis. And, for me, these are inevitably rhetorical questions. How, for example, do performances such as these create spaces for social or political speech? In what manner do they re-position their audiences within these spaces? And, how might these capacit…

The die is cast: Topical and ontological dimensions of the locus of the irreparable
Claims that a choice cannot be repeated or that its consequences may involve an irreparable loss draw upon powerful topical and ontological assumptions. This essay identifies this commonplace with certain loci of “Quality” and with a view of time similar to Heidegger's general interpretation of human existence as Ek‐sistenz—"the standing beyond oneself.” Such an understanding reveals strategic and ethical implications of the irreparable for human…
The rhetoric of child labor reform: An efficacy‐utility analysis
Two variables influenced the rhetorical choices of Progressive leaders in their fight against harsh working conditions of children: the ability of auditors to affect the aggrieved conditions (efficacy); and the valuation associated with the object of protest (utility). Success in achieving the movement's goal depended upon the adaptation of desirable objectives to groups that possessed the necessary power to induce change
