Call for chapters: Rhetorics of veg(etari)anism
Greetings! I am soliciting chapters for an anthology to be published with an academic press and which will cover a wide range of rhetorical perspectives on veganism as identity, practice, ideology, and discursive ecology. Broad topic areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
-
Veg(etari)an techne: crafting veg(etari)an arguments about ethics, health, the environment;
-
Rhetorics of anti-veg(etari)an discourses: points of view from science, medicine, nutrition; popular culture – including social media, TV)
-
Representations of veg(etari)ans and veg(etari)anism in the media
-
Veg(etari)an affect: rhetorical sentiments around meat eating/animal exploitation
-
The sensuous veg(etari)an (e.g., veg(etari)an cookbooks and websites)
-
Veg(etari)an rhetorical intersections: feminism, racism, environmentalism, ableism
Please send inquiries and chapter abstracts not to exceed 300 words to Cristina Hanganu-Bresch, c.hanganu-bresch@usciences.edu by September 30, 2018.
