legal constraints of the material realities of queer youth. Martin and Licona’s approach to remix works nicely alongside Jason Peters’s assertion that unruly language is a subversive rhetorical means to “confront, subvert, and alter discursive structures” of the corporate and state body writ large (241). One’s lived reality is potentially disruptive and powerful against restrictive and punitive forces. In the final chapter in this section, “ThenComes Fall: Activism, the Arab Spring, and the Necessity of Unruly Borders,” a team of co-authors led by Steve Parks details their work with Middle Eastern and North American (MENA) activists and Syrians for Truth and Justice (STJ) to spotlight youth voices involved in the Arab Spring movement by way of publishing narratives and expressing solidarity as rhetorical tactic. Their moving chapter offers a catalytic conclusion to the collection, asserting that a rhetoric that moves beyond (inter)national borders and bodies “toward a deep engagement with the formation and reformation of communities” is unruly in its optimism (296). Unruly Rhetorics is a refreshing, blatantly political collection that sits at a crucial intersection in the field of rhetoric and writing studies—that of rhetorics of protest and theories of incitement and action. In Welch’s afterword, she writes of the divisively political climate circa 2018, pointing to “unruly means” as a floodlight forward through the murkiness of a post-truth age (301). Indeed, Welch underscores that the means of unruliness and social movement rhetorics have “received scant attention in composition, rhetoric, and communication scholarship and classrooms,” an oversight that this collection aptly addresses (301). Welch poses an all-too-common question in our field right now: “how can we teach rhetorical discernment?” (305). The multifaceted essays Alexander, Jarratt, and Welch have compiled in Unruly Rhetorics comprise a text that should be a companion to many graduate survey courses in the history of contemporary rhetorics, and several of the collection’s chapters would be right at home in an upper-level undergraduate persuasive writing course or a graduate public rhetorics course. What Unruly Rhetorics offers is a stake, a pin on the broad map of rhetoric and writing studies from which to center “unruliness” more apparently. The impetus of unruly acts, the means behind the movements, is what Unruly Rhetorics spotlights and asserts as a necessary and inciteful element in rhetoric’s ongoing social justice conversations.

种植人类世:自然文化修辞学

酷儿青年物质现实的法律约束。Martin 和 Licona 的混音方法与 Jason Peters 的断言很好地配合,即不守规矩的语言是一种颠覆性的修辞手段,可以“对抗、颠覆和改变大公司和国家机构的话语结构”(241)。一个人的生活现实具有潜在的破坏性和强大的力量,可以对抗限制性和惩罚性力量。在本节的最后一章“然后是秋天:激进主义、阿拉伯之春和不规则边界的必要性”中,由 Steve Parks 领导的一组合著者详细介绍了他们与中东和北美 (MENA) 活动家和叙利亚争取真相与正义 (STJ) 通过发表叙事和表达团结作为修辞策略来聚焦参与阿拉伯之春运动的青年声音。他们感人的一章为该系列提供了一个催化结论,断言超越(国际)国界和机构的修辞“走向与社区的形成和改革的深度接触”是不守规矩的乐观主义(296)。Unruly Rhetorics 是一个令人耳目一新的、公然的政治收藏,它位于修辞学和写作研究领域的一个关键交叉点——抗议的修辞学和煽动和行动的理论。在韦尔奇的后记中,她写到了大约 2018 年左右的分裂政治气候,指出“不守规矩的手段”是在后真相时代的黑暗中向前迈进的一盏泛光灯 (301)。事实上,韦尔奇强调,不羁和社会运动修辞的手段“在作文、修辞、传播学和课堂上很少受到关注,”这个集合恰当地解决了一个疏忽(301)。韦尔奇现在在我们的领域提出了一个非常普遍的问题:“我们如何教授修辞洞察力?” (305)。Alexander、Jarratt 和 Welch 在 Unruly Rhetorics 中编撰的多方面论文构成了一本应该成为当代修辞学历史上许多研究生调查课程的伴侣的文本,并且该合集的一些章节将在上层本科有说服力的写作课程或研究生公共修辞课程。不守规矩的修辞学提供的是一个赌注,一个在修辞学和写作研究的广阔地图上的一个针脚,从中可以更明显地集中“不守规矩”。不守规矩行为的推动力,运动背后的手段,
