New Releases from Parlor Press

New Media/New Methods [paperback] These provocative essays pose an invention-based approach to new media studies. Working from the concept of electracy, as opposed to literacy, contributors pose various heuristics for new media rhetoric and theory. $30.00	Kenneth Burke and His Circles [paperback] Kenneth Burke and His Circles consists of original papers focusing on the intellectual circles in which Burke participated during his long career. $27.00	Rational Rhetoric: The Role of Science in Popular Discourse [paperback] David J. Tietge examines the place and influence of scientific discourse in the popular consciousness of contemporary American society, offering critical strategies for recognizing, decoding, and understanding scientific language as it is used by both scientific and a-scientific agents and agencies. $32.00
Writers Without Borders [paperback] Lynn Z. Bloom presents groundbreaking research on the nature of essays and on the political, philosophical, ethical, and pragmatic considerations that influence how we read, write, and teach them in times troubled by terrorism, transgressive students, and uses and abuses of the Internet. $27.00	Community Literacy and the Rhetoric of Local Publics [paperback] Elenore Long offers a rich theoretical framework for reviewing emergent community-literacy projects, examines pedagogies that educators can use to help students to go public in the course of their rhetorical education at college, and adapts local-public literacies to college curricula. $30.00	The Flying House [paperback] Informed by literary and cultural theory as well as humanist traditions, The Flying House explores the gap between the empirical and the emotional sometimes with dread, but more often with joy. $14.00
Writing the Visual: A Practical Guide for Teachers of Composition and Communication [paperback] Writing the Visual's introduction and twelve chapters provide an array of pedagogical perspectives, exceptional field-tested assignments for students writing across the disciplines, and a strong bibliographic base from which readers might continue their exploration of visual studies. $30.00	1977: A Cultural Moment in Composition [paperback] In the emerging tradition of program-based histories, 1977: A Cultural Moment in Composition offers a counterpoint to broader institutional histories of composition by investigating how local phenomena can be explained by larger movements and how larger movements can be understood through local contexts. $27.00	The Promise and Perils of Writing Program Administration [paperback] The Promise and Perils of Writing Program Administration represents multiple voices from faculty balancing between the demands of teaching, writing, and administering writing programs in professional, ethical ways—often under circumstances that can be defined, at best, as difficult. $32.00
Moon Dance [paperback] In the era of the space race, as JFK sent us rocketing toward The Moon, a family, a life, a love, was being created in a tropical beach house. Graeme Harper's Moon Dance is the story of a decade, a conception, a family, a birth. $18.00	Advances in the History of Rhetoric [paperback] Advances in the History of Rhetoric covers a wide range of periods and topics in the history of rhetoric, including Greek and Roman rhetoric, rhetoric and religion, women in the history of rhetoric, rhetoric and science, Renaissance and British rhetorical theory, rhetoric and culture, and the development of American rhetoric and composition. $34.00	Ways of Seeing, Ways of Speaking [paperback] The essays in Ways of Seeing, Ways of Speaking: The Integration of Rhetoric and Vision in Constructing the Real explore the intersections among image, word, and visual habits in shaping realities and subjectivities. $30.00
Framing Theory's Empire [paperback] Framing Theory's Empire started life as a “book event”—an online, roundtable-style symposium on Theory’s Empire (Columbia UP, 2005). Two dozen contributors offered reviews, criticism, and commentary. Now in book form, it includes a preface by Scott McLemee and afterthoughts from Theory’s Empire’s editors. $17.60	Verge [paperback] The poems in Morgan Lucas Schuldt’s debut collection, Verge, speak at once both brokenly and reparably of the body, of its lusts and devotions, its violences and “satisflictions.” $12.00	Child in the Road [paperback] Child in the Road is a mother’s response to the sudden death of her young daughter, a rendering of the wide range of emotions experienced afterwards--not description, but an expression of grief from its center. $15.00
The Book of the Floating World, Expanded Edition [paperback] Loosely based upon photographs of Occupied Japan, Jon Thompson's newly expanded book of poems and photographs ranges across a war-ravaged landscape, from a shattered Tokyo to scenes of a depleted countryside, with a close examination of the lives constructed out of that ruin. $16.00	The Two Virtuals [paperback] In drawing the connection between the two virtuals of philosophy and networked media, Reid draws upon research in computers and writing, rhetoric and composition, new media studies, postmodern and critical theory, psychology, economics, anthropology, and robotics. $27.00	Untenured Faculty as Writing Program Administrators [paperback] Contributors examine the politics of untenured writing program administrator appointments given the demands of writing program administration, and reconciles the tension between WPA position statements and current institutional practice. $30.00
Networked Process [paperback] Helen Foster problematizes one of the dominant metaphors in rhetoric and composition, the notion of “writing process,” and, in turn, offers an important and engaging new approach for the future of the discipline, one that directly addresses the complexities, challenges, and opportunities for writing research in a postmodern world. $30.00	The Lost Girl [paperback] "A novel of genuine growth and change in a richly drawn character we come to love.” --Jonathan Strong $16.00	Physis [paperback] Nicolas Pesquès weaves philosophical reflection in and out of an encounter with the body of the mountain, the body of language, and the human body that bridges the two. $12.00
Writing Program Administration [paperback] This reference guide provides a comprehensive review of the literature on all the issues, responsibilities, and opportunities that writing program administrators need to understand, manage, and enact, including budgets, personnel, curriculum, assessment, teacher training and supervision, and more. $30.00	Senior Citizens Writing [paperback] Renowned teacher and writer W. Ross Winterowd shows how writing workshops for seniors can provide an audience and give them opportunities for the intellectual growth and engagement that everyone wants and needs. Includes original stories, essays, and poems from these talented writers. $23.00	Peers, Pirates, and Persuasion [paperback] In Peers, Pirates, and Persuasion, John Logie examines the rhetoric of the ongoing debate over peer-to-peer technologies, in particular Napster and its successors. The Grokster case, he contends, has already produced the chilling effects that will stifle the innovative spirit at the heart of the Internet and networked communities. $22.00
Kenneth Burke on Shakespeare [paperback] This new collection of Kenneth Burke's writings on Shakespeare, edited by Scott L. Newstok, includes previously unpublished work and all of the landmark essays. Playwrights, directors, Burkeans, Shakespeareans, rhetoricians, literary critics, theorists—everyone will delight in what Stephen Greenblatt says are "remarkable displays of Burke’s quicksilver mind." $32.00	Essays Toward a Symbolic of Motives, 1950-1955 [paperback] In this long-awaited third volume in his Motivorum trilogy, renowned critic and philosopher Kenneth Burke offers his most precise and elaborated account of his dramatistic poetics. $32.00	These Beautiful Limits [paperback] In this new collection of poems, Lisk delights in the transparency and obliquity of language. Invested with a “jocoserious” sensibility, he explores the borders of language and the ways it defines identity—the quotidian language of everyday life hovering on the edge of forgetfulness. $12.00
Puppet Wardrobe [paperback] Puppet Wardrobe is a pop-up book, surprise is in its element. In search of the “dateless lively heat” that Shakespeare sourced to Cupid, Daniel Tiffany finds “the infamous promiscuity of things” in broad display. $12.00	The Wash [paperback] Adam Clay’s The Wash is a collection of poems rich in river imagery and depicting a landscape of loss, with language and images as the only rescue. $12.00	Looking for a Fight: Is There a Republican War on Science? [paperback] Based on a Crooked Timber book event, these response articles debate the presence and nature of a Republican war on science during the administration of President George W. Bush. $11.00
The Politics of Second Language Writing [paperback] The Politics of Second Language Writing: In Search of the Promised Land is the first edited collection to present a sustained discussion of classroom practices in larger contexts of institutional politics and policies. $30.00	Revision: History, Theory and Practice [paperback] This newest edition in the widely respected series, Reference Guides to Rhetoric and Composition, explores the wide range of scholarship on revision while bringing new light to bear on enduring questions. $30.00	Searching for Latini [paperback] Michael Kleine recounts the quest of a rhetorician and writing teacher to discover and celebrate the significance of a thirteenth-century rhetorician who has been excluded from American versions of rhetorical history—Brunetto Latini, the teacher of Dante. $20.00
