[ecrea] "Figures of Entanglement" Special Issue Now Available Online

We are pleased to announce that the RoC "Figures of Entanglement" 
Special Issue has been recently published and is now available online. 
This special issue aims to contribute to emerging new materialist 
scholarship in rhetoric and communication studies. Generally 
distinguished by an understanding of meaning and identity in 
nonanthropocentric terms through an emphasis on the agency and vitality 
of matter itself, new materialisms provide a timely opportunity for 
scholars to revisit longstanding assumptions of human exceptionalism 
concerning the nature and scope of language, meaning, subjectivity, and 
how these relate to questions of ontology, ethics, and political 
intervention. The essays in this volume provide what we believe are 
pathbreaking explorations of these questions that serve to expand and 
transform the boundaries of our discipline in novel and more 
ecologically-attuned directions. Each article does so by illuminating 
particular ways in which humans and human meaning are always 
ontologically and dynamically entangled with the more- or 
other-than-human material world.
