Author
- Lauren Malone (Iowa State University)
Abstract
This session covers a visual rhetorical analysis of Blaxploitation movie posters. Through the lens of African American rhetoric, we will explore how pictures and text work together to present arguments about women and power, and also how this communicates identity. Audience members will hear this presentation, and will be able to view these posters and have a discussion about the rhetorical appeals that are present.
