In her contribution to the Quarterly Journal of Speech’s centennial issue, “Pathologia,” Jenny Rice suggests, “pathology does not only or always reveal something broken. Rather, the experience of pathology also reminds us that rhetoric’s sensorium is working—really working” (p. 35). Yes, and in a time of pandemic turbulence, we are reminded that the sensorium of civic life works in ways that shape, even threaten, our collective modes of engagement and relationality. Rice offers “the wound” as a response to pathological publicness, noting, “I propose that we begin to theorize the wound itself as the beginning of dialogue. Only the wound can stand as pathology’s counterpart” (p. 40). Wounds focalize and materialize the pathogenic, opening up possibilities for redress while also remediating their own contaminants. Accordingly, our special issue aims to grapple with the ways contemporary publicness affects, and is affected by, civic wounds: how they are discursively produced, and productively discursive. What emergent forms of expression or composition do wounds make possible or foreclose? And, how might critical communication scholarship ad/dress the pathogenic constitution of civic wounds? Each of the essays in “Ad/Dressing Civic Wounds” thus situates particular ways in which wounds are “really working” to produce the conditions that open or foreclose possibilities in the never-finished work of finding shared grounds of togetherness we might call civic life.

痛苦的公众

詹妮·赖斯(Jenny Rice)在对《讲话季刊》百年刊的贡献中指出,“病理学不仅或总是揭示出一些破碎的东西。相反,病理学的经验也使我们想起,修辞学的感官正在发挥作用-确实起作用”(第35页)。是的,在大流行的动荡时期,我们被提醒,公民生活的感官以影响甚至威胁我们集体参与和关系的集体方式的方式运作。赖斯提供“伤口”作为对病理学公开性的回应,并指出:“我建议,我们开始对伤口本身进行理论化,以此作为对话的开始。只有伤口可以作为病理的对应物”(第40页)。伤口使病原体集中并物化,为补救开辟了可能性,同时也修复了其自身的污染物。因此,我们的特刊旨在探讨当代宣传对公民创伤的影响和受其影响的方式:如何以话语方式产生和有效地话语权。伤口使或阻止了哪些新出现的表达或组成形式?而且,批判性交流奖学金将如何解决/解决公民伤口的致病性构成?因此,“广告/打扮公民伤口”中的每篇文章都以特殊的方式来定位伤口的“真正起作用”,以创造条件,从而为从未完成的寻找共同的共同点(我们称之为公民生活)的工作打开或取消可能性。伤口使或阻止了哪些新出现的表达或组成形式?而且,批判性交流奖学金将如何解决/解决公民伤口的致病性构成?因此,“广告/打扮公民伤口”中的每篇文章都以特殊的方式来定位伤口的“真正起作用”,以创造条件,从而为从未完成的寻找共同的共同点(我们称之为公民生活)的工作打开或取消可能性。伤口使或阻止了哪些新出现的表达或组成形式?而且,批判性交流奖学金将如何解决/解决公民伤口的致病性构成?因此,“广告/打扮公民伤口”中的每篇文章都以特殊的方式来定位伤口的“真正起作用”,以创造条件,从而为从未完成的寻找共同的共同点(我们称之为公民生活)的工作打开或取消可能性。批判性交流奖学金将如何改善/解决公民伤口的致病性?因此,“广告/打扮公民伤口”中的每篇文章都以特殊的方式来定位伤口的“真正起作用”,以创造条件,从而为从未完成的寻找共同的共同点(我们称之为公民生活)的工作打开或取消可能性。批判性交流奖学金将如何改善/解决公民伤口的致病性?因此,“广告/打扮公民伤口”中的每篇文章都以特殊的方式来定位伤口的“真正起作用”,以创造条件,从而为从未完成的寻找共同的共同点(我们称之为公民生活)的工作打开或取消可能性。
