Image Politics: The New Rhetoric of Environmental Activism

Kevin Michael DeLuca

DeLuca (speech communication, U. of Georgia) examines the use of image events as a rhetorical tactic to illustrate how environmental groups' visual discourse acts as their primary means of communication (often supplanting written or spoken arguments); how these image events can create opportunities for a politics that does not rely on centralized leadership; and how they can allow for alternative political meanings to emerge and disseminate even when activists are pictured negatively by the media.
