{"title":"Public futurity: the rhetorics of sustainability and survival at the former Philadelphia Energy Solutions refinery","authors":"Haley Schneider","doi":"10.1080/00335630.2023.2275721","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00335630.2023.2275721","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTI propose the concept of public futurity as a framework for studying how communities renegotiate collective identity in times of crisis. Public futurity, which I define as the process by which groups imagine and deliberate about their shared future, demonstrates how collective identity is maintained, negotiated, and transformed over time. I theorize how futurity is experienced collectively, drawing from scholarship on Black, queer, and disability futurity to show that appeals to futurity recognize not only the possibility of change, but the impossibility of sustaining an untenable present. I apply the concept of public futurity to an analysis of public deliberation about the fate of the former Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES) oil refinery. A series of meetings organized by Philadelphia's Refinery Advisory Committee became highly contested, with mostly Black residents arguing that the site should benefit the local public and mostly white former workers fighting to keep the refinery open. Tracking how residents and former workers leveraged futurity differently in their arguments, I demonstrate how residents revealed the impossibility of the refinery's continued survival. I argue that a key process of public futurity is contending with the liminality of collective identity, and that undoing is necessary for transformation.KEYWORDS: Publicsenvironmental justicefuturitytemporalitytransformation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Scholarship on rhetoric and futurity includes: Kelly Happe, “Utopia and Crisis,” Philosophy & Rhetoric 53, no. 3 (2020): 272–8; Matthew Houdek and Kendall Phillips, “Rhetoric and the Temporal Turn: Race, Gender, Temporalities,” Women’s Studies in Communication 43, no. 4 (2020): 369–83; Lore/etta LeMaster and Amber Johnson, “Speculative Fiction, Criticality, and Futurity: An Introduction,” Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies 18, no. 3 (2021): 280–2; Ersula Ore and Matthew Houdek, “Lynching in Times of Suffocation: Toward a Spatiotemporal Politics of Breathing,” Women’s Studies in Communication 43, no. 4 (2020): 443–58; Candice Rai, Democracy’s Lot: Rhetoric, Publics, and the Places of Invention (Tuscaloosa: The University of Alabama Press, 2016); and Haley Schneider, “Deliberative Topoi and the Pull of the Future: Bridging Disparate Visions of Dresden Elbe Valley,” Rhetoric Society Quarterly 49, no. 5 (2019): 495–516.2 Max Marin, “South Philly Refinery’s Long History of Fires, Explosions, Deaths and Injuries,” Billy Penn, June 21, 2019, https://billypenn.com/2019/06/21/south-philly-refinerys-long-history-of-fires-explosions-deaths-and-injuries/ (accessed September 4, 2023).3 Catalina Jaramillo, “With South Philadelphia Refinery in Bankruptcy Proceedings, Neighbors See an Opportunity for Cleaner Air,” WHYY, January 31, 2018, https://whyy.org/articles/south-philadelphia-refinery-bankruptcy-proceedings-neighbors-see-opportunity-cleaner-air/ (accessed Septem","PeriodicalId":51545,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Speech","volume":" 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135291534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Beyond participation, toward disparticipation","authors":"Matthew Salzano","doi":"10.1080/00335630.2023.2275023","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00335630.2023.2275023","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTSocial movements require participatory dissent. Facing tensions between ideological purity and mass popularity, movements that desire to be politically effective and act in the interest of their participants need dissent that leads to revision instead of conflict that devolves to dissolution. Using three examples from the 2017 and 2019 Women’s Marches, this essay theorizes “disparticipation.” Building from José Esteban Muñoz’s Disidentifications, I define disparticipation as participatory, disidentifying dissent. While disparticipants may be seen as not participating, or even counter-protesting, I reframe their participation as a “diss” of a protest for a lack of nuanced politics. Disparticipants dissent from binary oppositions of popular/pure and reformist/radical and disidentify to promote coalition-building. Women’s March disparticipants dissed white feminist racism, cissexism, and antisemitism. Disparticipation generates discourse that can expand the topoi of protest rhetoric by revealing and responding to broader structural injustices.KEYWORDS: Social movementsWomen’s March; disidentification; dissent; digital participation AcknowledgmentsEarlier versions of this article were presented at: the Northwest Honors Symposium, Pacific Lutheran University, November 2017; Camp Rhetoric, Pennsylvania State University, March 2019; the Alta Conference on Argumentation, Alta, UT, August 2019, and a small portion was published in its proceedings, Local Theories of Argument; the National Communication Association Conference, Baltimore, MD, November 2019; and, finally, in my dissertation Living a Participatory Life: Reformatting Rhetoric for Demanding, Digital Times, supervised by Damien S.

Psychoanalytic treatment aims at intervention into a patient’s recurring patterns of behavior and speech that uphold their status quo of suffering. My essay argues for the practical and conceptual utility of Lacan’s discourse theory for rhetorical studies by advancing X as analyst against the cultural logic of the Firearm, a logic of domination I model via the Discourse of the Master.KEYWORDS: Discourse of the AnalystDiscourse of the MasterX Gonzálezsilencegun violence Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 John Woodrow Cox and others, “There Have Been 380 School Shootings since Columbine,” Washington Post, May 1, 2023, https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/interactive/school-shootings-database/.2 Melissa Chan, “Mass Shootings: ‘This Is What Normal Has Come to Be Like in America,’” Time, March 24, 2021, https://time.com/5949772/mass-shootings-normal-america/.3 Ben Mathis-Lilley, “The ‘Politicize My Death’ Pledge Is What Happens When Gun Violence Activists Stop Being Polite,” Slate, February 16, 2018, https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/02/politicize-my-death-pledge-takes-gun-control-activism-to-a-new-level.html.4 One can evidence this in reverse.

The mural depicted the Army’s active and retired generals who are allegedly responsible for extrajudicial executions committed by their subordinates in the 2000s. The Army’s efforts failed; in attempting to make the mural invisible, the Army ensured the mural’s visibility through online circulation. In this article, I describe the rhizomatic emergence of the image in the digital space through different forms and articulations as a challenge to the Army’s intention to screen out a narrative in the physical landscape. I argue that the circulation of the image and its transformations into remixes and other visual representations constitutes an instance of online symbolic accretion. I propose the theoretical concept of rhizomorph, understood as a digital image event that transforms as it moves through a digitally mediated environment to provide an alternative conception of a particular event.KEYWORDS: Rhizomorphonline symbolic accretioncirculationimage eventextrajudicial executions AcknowledgementI would like to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude to Dr. Roger Aden for his insightful suggestions and invaluable contributions to this study.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1 Amanda C.
