The eight essays of Feminist Rhetorical Science Studies: Human Bodies, Posthumanist Worlds model methodologies for doing feminist research in the rhetoric of science. Collectively they build innovative interdisciplinary bridges across the related but divergent fields of feminism, posthumanism, new materialism, and the rhetoric of science. Each essay addresses a question: How can feminist rhetoricians of science engage responsibly with emerging theories of the posthuman? Some contributors respond with case studies in medical practice (fetal ultrasound; patient noncompliance), medical science (the neuroscience of sex differences), and health policy (drug trials of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration); others respond with a critical review of object-oriented ontology and a framework for researching women technical writers in the workplace. These contributions are in turn framed by a comprehensive introduction and a final chapter from the editors, who argue that a key contribution of feminist posthumanist rhetoric is that it rethinks the agencies of people, things, and practices in ways that can bring about more ethical human relations. Individually the contributions offer as much variety as consensus on matters of methodology. Together they demonstrate how feminist posthumanist and materialist approaches to science expand our notions of what rhetoric is and does, yet they manage to do so without sacrificing what makes their inquiries distinctively rhetorical"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "Essays forge innovative, interdisciplinary connections through four key frameworks--posthumanism, feminist new materialism, posthumanist rhetoric, and feminist posthumanist rhetoric--and develop theoretical and methodological approaches for engaging with posthumanism as feminist rhetoricians of science"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Feminism and science. 650 0 $a Feminism $x Language. 650 0 $a Science $x Language. 650 0 $a Feminist theory. 650 0 $a Communication in science. 650 7 $a LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES $x Rhetoric. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Women's Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Communication in science. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00870268 650 7 $a Feminism and science. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922745 650 7 $a Feminism $x Language. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922689 650 7 $a Feminist theory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922816 650 7 $a Science $x Language. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108301 700 1 $a Booher, Amanda K., $e editor. 700 1 $a Jung, Julie, $d 1966- $e editor. 830 0 $a Studies in rhetorics and feminisms. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220506014915.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E03E71FE370411E887D7D95B97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
