Bicycling, Motorcycling, Rhetoric, and Space

English | ISBN: 1666928461 | 2022 | 244 pages | EPUB | 615 KB
Bicycling, Motorcycling, Rhetoric, and Space draws from cultural studies, rhetorical theory, and political philosophy to examine bicycling and motorcycling as serious forms of communication and even thought. By analyzing how everyday movements function in modern and postmodern contexts, Hunter H. Fine is able to determine the social meanings behind human powered and motorized forms of cycling. Through the lenses of sophistic rhetoric and poststructuralist theory, the author uncovers how such mobilities inform our thoughts and interactions. Throughout history, this informing process has promoted specific ways of thinking that have resulted in moments of protest, conquest, awareness, and transgression, which all involve a cycling rhetoric. This book contributes to various academic fields within the liberal arts and humanities while further establishing bicycling and motorcycling as important social, theoretical, and political areas of inquiry. Scholars of rhetoric, communication studies, cultural studies, and philosophy will find this book of particular interest.

Her search takes her from a well-ordered, happy married life into divorce, chaos, confusion and despair-and ultimately to the unexpected and profound answer to her quest. This story follows a modern-day seeker as she bicycles her way alone on back roads and in long distance races-all the way home, where she finds herself as she finds the God she is seeking.
