In Affective Rhetorics Jessica L. Ouellette explores how affect, that is, bodily associations, reactions, and orientations, drives digital discourse and reshapes our social and bodily relations online. Using the tools of transnational feminist rhetoric, Ouellette investigates the affective economies that underpin the circulation of rhetoric and power across digital platforms, revealing how feeling operates as both fuel and currency. By identifying the affective energies that sustain or disrupt online movements, she offers a framework for understanding and transforming the rhetorical currents that shape contemporary digital life. Talk includes a Q and A with the author.
