Abstract
Chapter three introduces the method of rhetorical cartography, mapping a series of intersections across rhetorical studies, critical geography and cartography, and political theory. Drawing from Greene and Kuswa’s use of rhetorical cartography to discuss regional accents of protest, Hayes expands the methodology of rhetorical cartography beyond its current insufficient status. Merging the history of rhetorical criticism’s turn to the critical with the concerns of critical cartography, the chapter goes on to trace examples of rhetorical cartography at work. It closes with a call for rhetorical cartography’s use in the work of scholars and concerned citizens in interrogating the processes, technologies, and techniques authorized in the production of discourse, mapping, and symbolicity.
