Rhetorical Realism Rhetoric Ethics and the Ontology of Things

Rhetorical Realism Rhetoric Ethics and the Ontology of Things

Rhetorical Realism responds to the surging interest in nonhumans across the humanities by exploring how realist commitments have historically accompanied understandings of rhetoric from antiquity to the present. For a discipline that often defines itself according to human speech and writing the nonhuman turn poses a number of challenges and opportunities for rhetoric. To date many of the responses to the nonhuman turn in rhetoric have sought to address rhetoric’s compatibility with new conceptions of materiality. In Rhetorical Realism Scot Barnett extends this work by transforming it into a new historiographic methodology attuned to the presence and occlusion of things in rhetorical history. Through investigations of rhetoric’s place in Aristotelian metaphysics the language invention movement of the seventeenth century and postmodern conceptions of rhetoric as an epistemic art Barnett’s study expands the scope of rhetorical inquiry by showing how realist ideas have worked to frame rhetoric’s scope and meanings during key moments in its history. Ultimately Barnett argues that all versions of rhetoric depend upon some realist assumptions about the world. Rather than conceive of the nonhuman as a dramatic turning point in rhetorical theory Rhetorical Realism encourages rhetorical theorists to turn another eye toward what rhetoricians have always done—defining and configuring rhetoric within a broader ontology of things. | Rhetorical Realism Rhetoric Ethics and the Ontology of Things

The Anarchy of Nazi Memorabilia From Things of Tyranny to Troubled Treasure

The Anarchy of Nazi Memorabilia From Things of Tyranny to Troubled Treasure

Out of the numerous books and articles on the Third Reich few address its material culture and fewer still discuss the phenomenon of Nazi memorabilia. This is all the more surprising given that Nazi symbols so central to sustaining Hitler’s movement continue to live long after the collapse of his 12-year Reich. Neither did Nazi ideology die; far-right populists would like to see the swastika flown over the White House or Buckingham Palace. Against a backdrop of right-wing extremism military re-enactors think nothing of dressing up in Waffen-SS uniforms and romanticising the Third Reich in the name of living history. Auctioneers are prepared to hammer down Nazi artefacts to the highest bidder but who is buying them and why do they do so? Should collectors be allowed to decorate their homes with Nazi flags? The Anarchy of Nazi Memorabilia begins by examining the creation and context of Nazi artefacts and symbols during the volatile Weimar Republic to their wider distribution during the Third Reich. There were few people in Nazi Germany who did not wear a badge or uniform of some sort. Whether it be mothers soldiers or concentration camp inmates they were all branded. The chapter on the Second World War demonstrates that although German soldiers were cynical about being given medals in exchange for freezing in Russia. They still continued to fight for which more decorations were awarded. A large proportion of this book is therefore given to the meaning that Nazi symbols had before Nazi Germany was eventually defeated in May 1945. Equally important however and one of the characteristics of this book is the analysis of the meaning and value of Nazi material culture over time. The interpreters of Nazi symbols that this book focuses on are internationally based private collectors and traders. Sustained attention is given in a chapter outlining the development of the collectors’ market for Nazi memorabilia from 1945 onwards. No matter how much collectors go out of their way to paint the hobby in a positive light their activities do not fully escape the troubled past of the material that they desire. So contested are Nazi symbols that another chapter is devoted to the ethics and morals of destroying or preserving them. The issues surrounding private versus public custody and ownership of Nazi artefacts are also discussed. So far in this book the examination of Nazi artefacts has been restricted to physical objects within societies that are generally aware of the consequences of Hitlerism. As we increasingly move into the digital age however and there are few survivors of the Second World War left to relay their horrific experiences the final chapter contemplates the future of Nazi symbols both digitally and physically fake or real. This book will appeal to all those interested in the Third Reich Nazi ideology Neo-Nazism perceptions of the Nazis post-1945 modern European history and political symbolism. It will also hold particular appeal to those interested in the collecting and trading of contested and highly emotive artefacts. It considers aesthetics authenticity commodification gift exchange life histories of people and objects materiality and value theory. | The Anarchy of Nazi Memorabilia From Things of Tyranny to Troubled Treasure

Foucault Art and Radical Theology The Mystery of Things

Foucault Art and Radical Theology The Mystery of Things

Michel Foucault wrote prolifically on many topics including art religion and politics. He also eloquently articulated how power structures are formed and how they also might assist resistance and emancipation. This book uses the hermeneutical lens of Foucault’s writings on art to examine the performative material and political aspects of contemporary theology. The borderland between philosophy theology and art is explored through Foucault’s analyses of artists such as Diego Velázquez Édouard Manet René Magritte Paul Rebeyrolle and Gerard Fromanger. Here special focus is placed on performativity and materiality—or what the book terms the mystery of things. At successive junctures the book discovers a postrepresentational critique of transcendence; an enigmatic material sacramentality; playful theopolitical accounts of the transformative force of stupidity and nonsense; and political imagery in motion enabling theological interpretations of contemporary collectives such as Pussy Riot and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. In conversation with contemporary thinkers including Catherine Keller Louise-Marie Chauvet John Caputo Daniel Barber Mark C. Taylor Jeffrey W. Robbins and Mattias Martinson the book outlines this source of inspiration for contemporary radical theology. This is a book with a fresh and original take on Foucault art and theology. As such it will have great appeal to scholars and academics in theology religion and the arts the philosophy of religion political philosophy and aesthetics. | Foucault Art and Radical Theology The Mystery of Things

A Galaxy of Things The Power of Puppets and Masks in Star Wars and Beyond

A Galaxy of Things The Power of Puppets and Masks in Star Wars and Beyond

A Galaxy of Things explores the ways in which all puppets masks makeup-prosthetic figures are material characters using iconic Star Wars characters like Yoda and R2-D2 to illustrate what makes them so compelling. As an epic franchise Star Wars has been defined by creatures droids and masked figures since the original 1977 movie. Author Colette Searls a theatre director and expert in puppetry studies uncovers how non-humans like Chewbacca semi-humans like Darth Maul and even concealed humans like Boba Fett tell meaningful stories that conventional human characters cannot. Searls defines three powers that puppets masked figures and other material characters wield—distance distillation and duality—and analyzes Star Wars’ most iconic robots and aliens to demonstrate how they work across nearly a half-century of live-action films. Yoda and Baby Yoda—two of popular culture’s greatest puppets—use these qualities to transform their human companions. Similarly Darth Vader’s mask functions as a performing object driving mystery and suspense across three film trilogies. The power of material characters has also been wielded in problematic ways such as stereotypes in the representation of service droids and controversial creatures like Jar Jar Binks. Bringing readers forward into the first Star Wars live-action streaming series the book also explores how the early 2020s stories centered material characters in particularly meaningful often redemptive ways. A Galaxy of Things is an accessible guide to puppets masks and other material characters for students and scholars of theatre film puppetry and popular culture studies. It also offers useful perspectives on non-human representation for researchers in object-oriented ontology posthumanism ethnic studies and material culture. | A Galaxy of Things The Power of Puppets and Masks in Star Wars and Beyond
