Stephanie R. Larson is Assistant Professor of Rhetoric at Carnegie Mellon University.
“What It Feels Like is an exciting contribution to rhetorical
studies and women’s and gender studies, offering a theory of
visceral rhetoric that provides both explanatory power for rape
culture and a potential framework for feminist intervention. It
addresses a timely topic in a refreshingly new way, providing
critical insight into how rape culture is rhetorically constituted
as well as reason to hope for change.”—Elizabeth C. Britt, author
of Reimagining Advocacy: Rhetorical Education in the Legal
Clinic
“Not only does Larson’s work provide various avenues for
researchers to continue conversations about sexual violence, but it
also supplies instructions for increasing the efficacy of anti-rape
advocacy. Ultimately, Larson makes a convincing case that scholars
and activists alike would do well to talk about bodies and
acknowledge the rhetorical power of viscerality.”—Lauren L. Buisker
