This volume offers a multifaceted investigation of intersections among visualand memorial forms in modern art, politics, and society. The question of the relationships among images and memory is particularly relevant to contemporarysociety, at a time when visually-based technologies are increasingly employedin both grand and modest efforts to preserve the past amid rapid social change. The chapters in Rhetoric, Remembrance, and Visual Form provide valuable insights concerning not only how memories may be seen (or sighted) in visual formbut also how visual forms constitute noteworthy material sites of memory. Thecollection addresses this central theme with a wealth of interdisciplinary and international approaches, featuring conventional scholarly as well as artistic works from such disciplines as rhetoric and communication, art and art history, architecture, landscape studies, and more, by contributors from around the globe.
