University Park. 2016. January 2016. Pennsylvania State University Press. 1st American Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780271065878. 66 color/54 b&w illustrations. 7 × 10. 224 pages. paperback. keywords: Communication Studies/History/Political Science. DESCRIPTION - Thomas Benson has rediscovered and shared a treasure of poster art, along with some history, brilliantly told.' - Tom Hayden. With Posters for Peace: Visual Rhetoric and Civic Action, Thomas Benson generously shares an archival treasure trove with readers. By itself that might be enough, but Benson doesn't stop there. He offers a thoughtful and sophisticated rhetorical analysis of the posters that reads them in historical context, elaborates the visual traditions from which they drew their representations, and considers how viewers of the era might have responded to them. In doing so, he makes a compelling case for the posters' rhetorical importance, both then and now. The book skillfully models the practice of visual rhetorical history for students and scholars alike.' - Cara Finnegan, University of Illinois. Long before there was a sub-discipline called visual rhetoric,' Thomas Benson was probing the rhetorical dimensions of visual images. His books on the films of Frederick Wiseman and on political documentaries set the standard for rhetorically informed criticism of documentary film. Now Benson has turned his attention to the political protest posters that appeared in Berkeley, California, throughout the tumultuous year of 1970. Benson was a visiting assistant professor at UCBerkeley during the 196970 academic year, where he witnessed firsthand the distribution and placement of many of the posters he examines in this book. He places the posters in their political, cultural, social, and rhetorical contexts, and he engages in a close reading that uncovers the layers of meaning and significance that were clear to the creators at the time of production but that now, almost forty-five years later, are often lost in the mists of time. This is a masterful work of recovery that reminds us anew of that time when the whole world was watching.' - Martin J. Medhurst, Baylor University. inventory #42730.…
