- Authors
Bost, Matthew; Greene, RonaldWalter
- Abstract
The article focuses on rhetorical materialism and how it affects ideology, social relations, and governance. A discussion of the information found in Ronald Walter Greene's essay "Another Materialist Rhetoric" is offered, including his spatial method of articulation showing rhetorical proliferation and his assertion that ideology criticism requires hermeneutics of suspicion. The concept of the virtual is noted, including the relationship between language and body. A discussion of how affirmative materialism encourages rhetorical criticism is provided.
