About this product
Product Information
From Greenpeace protesters confronting whaling ships to Earth First! activists occupying trees to stop logging, radical environmentalists increasingly rely upon attracting mass media coverage to gain visibility and public support. This book examines the use of "image events" as a rhetorical tactic, one that often supplants written or spoken arguments. Widely televised environmentalist actions are analyzed in depth to illustrate how the image event fulfills fundamental rhetorical functions in constructing and transforming identities, discourses, communities, cultures, and world views. Beyond the rhetorical power of image events, DeLuca also shows how they create opportunities for a politics that does not rely on centralized leadership or universal metanarratives. Illuminating the new political possibilities currently being enacted by radical environmental groups, the book lays out a rhetoric of the visual for our mediated age.

Reviews
"Blending theoretical perspectives from diverse disciplines...DeLuca crafts a highly useful 'critical rhetorical' approach that allows subtle and complex analysis of relatively underexamined kinds of environmental activism...."Image Politics...substantially revises recent traditions in rhetorical studies, which have tended to center on the orator/public speaker rather than the 'image event, ' and to operate from an 'organizational studies' model....Further, Deluca extends the critiques of various cultural theorists and post-structuralist rhetoricians....Ultimately, DeLuca demonstrates how a 'critical rhetorician' might use the critical tools of post-structuralism to understand the political leverage representational rhetorics provide--and thus how environmental activists might shift systems of shared meanings, even against the full cultural weight of industrial capitalism." --"ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment ..."DeLuca makes an easy connection to the reader and minimizes any pretense such an erudite discussion could involve. He offers chapters as 'meditations' that need not be read in order, allowing flexible classroom use....The book is full of interesting and useful information--for instance Abbie Hoffman's realization in the 60s of the power of the televised image and the later 'yippie' connection to Earth First!....Having taught both environmental resource courses in a geography program and environmental reporting classes in journalism schools, I believe this text could be used to challenge students in a wide array of courses." --"Journalism and Mass Communication Educator ..."presents a detailed analysis of the use of video images to advancethe objectives of activist organizations ranging from little-known groups like the Allegheny County Non-violent Action Group to the internationally recognizable Earth First! And Greenpeace....Recommended for libraries serving higher education programs in political science, mass communications, and environmental science. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." --"Choice

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

This item came in exactly as pictured, and the seller posted immediately and was very gracious. I didn't ask for a partial refund. Why would I? I bought what I was expecting and received what I paid for the item. Not sure if I have bought from this seller before, but they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My future transactions with them will no doubt be perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
