Introduction 

• After 9/11 the United States was in a dark place. After losing almost 3,000 Americans. Bush was ready for revenge so After the attack and the country to head into the Iraq and Afghanistan wars that have killed over 7,000 troops to date. But there are some colorful and lovely ladies fighting to bring it to an end from the beginning. During this time 2 feminist anti-war groups were formed. The raging grannies and  the missile dicks chicks

Thesis: 

• Both organizations were built on wanting to stand out and make a statement.  The leaders of these movements want to challenge stereotypes placed on women and fight for what they believed as an unjust war. Their use of rhetorical schemes, tropes, and visuals help set their movement apart from the rest.

Slutwalk outline

 Introduction

Attention getter

Slut-Noun-Disparaging and Offensive. a person, especially a woman, who is sexually promiscuous.

Synonyms-hooker, whore, mammy, mule, sapphire, hoe,tramp, skank

History 

• The Slut Walks movement started in  2011 
• “I've been told I'm not supposed to say this. 
• Since the first walk in April of 2011 in Toronto there have been hundreds of slutwalks that happened in Canada, United States, Latin America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.  

Thesis

The slutwalk movement was successful with bringing awareness to rape culture and victium blaming. Even though the Slutwalks had good intentions it lacked in incorporating all races and ethnicities of women and for this reason the rhetoric of bringing “slut” back and revamping the term is not working for but against the movement. 

Preview

• I will be looking at three different sources through schemes and tropes, Parlem and Tyteca charts, fallacies, and rhetoric theories. The three sources that will be looked at today are the London Slutwalk advertisement poster, a protest sign, and a letter written from the Black Women blueprint to the Slutwalk movement.

Conclusion

The Slutwalk movement has been instrumental in bringing awareness to rape culture and victium blaming. It started a conversation that women wanted and needed to have about their experience being sexually assaulted. The movement spread quickly and has continued to grow. However, it has yet to incorporate black women in their decision making leaving little to no space for them within the movement. The rhetoric of the term “slut” as much as they wanted to take control of the word and bring a new narrative to it failed to see how destructive this could be for women of all races and ethnicities who need to be incorporated in the movement for it to be fully successful. Growth for some women is not good enough anymore.

Gezi Protest Outline

 Intro

Attention getter: 8,000 people injured, and 11 people were killed in the early hours of May 31^st, 2013 in Istanbul, Turkey. 15 days. That’s how long the protests went on, and what started as an environmentalist movement turned into a National Uprising against the government over the preservation of Gezi Park. (http://ow.ly/vmDH50ECZN0)

Thesis: The Gezi Park protests were an amazing demonstration of unity amongst people of extreme diversity, but they weren’t as successful as they could have been due to a change in their mission after the first police raids on the park.

Preview: I will be analyzing important imagery from the Gezi park protests in an effort to revel their rhetorical power for the cause of the movement. I will look first at the schemes and tropes of one source along with the devices from Pearlman’s book. Then I will look at my second source. After that I will tie it all together by an overarching rhetorical theory.

Credibility: After a long semester of studying rhetoric and thoroughly researching this movement, I am an expert in identifying rhetorical devices.

Body

Primary Source #1: Capulcu Park

·       Schemes and tropes

-          Enallage:  Intentional grammar misuse. = çapulcu was quickly appropriated to mean a person who fights for his or her democratic rights. They use this instead of the popular TV show name South Park.

-          Substitution- anthimeria: Substitution of one part of speech for another.= Using the word çapulcu instead of South.

·       P O-T

-          Premise:

Abstract- the believe that all Turkish activists will have the same definition of çapulcu and understand the reference to South Park

-          Premise Modifiers:

Enthymeme- those who participate in the protest are becoming icons, like those in South Park.

-          Argument Types:

Symbolic Liaison: Order/degree- how this movement correlates with the government.

Primary Source #2: Lady in Red

·       Schemes and tropes

Visual:

-          Color (saturation)- the purity or vividness or depth of a color. The dress is the accent piece of the tarp while the police are vivid.

-          Perspective (geometric)- an illusion of depth and space. Compared to the original image, with the use of a geometric shape (the pepper spray) they have made the woman look bigger than the police, which is also ironic.

-          Focus: (focalizers)- Are figures or colors or spaces used to pull the eye across the image? The woman is the focalizer, while the pepper spray makes your eyes drawn to the words.

·       P O-T

-          Premises:

Facts/Truth (Observed)- Concrete Data. The number of people that saw the original images of the Lady in red must understand the meaning behind their mew tapestry for their protest.

 

Values: (Specific)- "true for me" "good for you"- They believe that the tapestry they mad in "Memory of Resistance" is good enough to be a reason to end the violence and not have the park destroyed.

-          Premise Modifiers:

Presence (Aggregation)- by adding the words "Memory of Resistance" it adds new context to the image, but it also allows the viewer to decide on their own interpretation of the Lady In Red. Is she the symbol that will be remembered? Will the government always remember what they did, or will the protesters make sure they never forget?

Theory

The Burkean frames are abstract concepts that can be used in a very interesting form of rhetorical analysis. Heroic Framework

*Connective*

Conclusion

The Gezi Park protests were an amazing demonstration of unity amongst people of extreme diversity, but they weren’t as successful as they could have been due to a change in their mission after the first police raids on the park.

Successful or not? I believe the Gezi protest spirit still resonates with many people in Istanbul but I think it will take another controversy of a large scale for individuals to act again.

Social Movement Theory Ideas Free the Nipple

 Idea- 

The FTNM calls itself a campaign, which is organized actions by groups of people to achieve a common goal, which in this case is to obtain a non-sexual perception of the female nipple by enforcing the normalcy of exposed female breasts/toplessness, promoting and normalizing breastfeeding and eliminating rape culture and the fallacy that a woman is “asking for it” depending on her clothing/nudity. The campaign accomplishes this by using protests to it’s advantage, using social media to promote it’s ideas and using signs to protest as well. So we can conclude that this is a organized idea, and even though it is a young movement, it has been successful in achieving a high status in social movements, promoted the change of laws and more.

Radicality-

In itself, the movement is not exactly radical. There is an absence of violence, but power in the protest groups. There have been arrests, and in many cases this movement has been accused of violation of the law and civil disobedience, but this is intentional. This is because it is promoting the movement in a way that shows that these gatherings aren’t causing violence, just disruption of law and order from nudity.

Organization-

The organization of this movement i think relies heavily on it’s social media presence. There is a tag for the movement, #freethenipple, that is an effective and known promoter of the campaign. The organization of the protests are much different though. In many cases there are leaders among the groups of people who organize and speak on behalf of the protests, but the people involved in the protests have no less power. Overall, the organization is not tyranny. There aren’t any revolutionists or leaders for the entire campaign, moreover there lies a power within the people involved that is inflated by their presence on social media.

Demands-

The goals of this movement are demanding non-sexual perception of the female nipple by enforcing the normalcy of exposed female breasts/toplessness, equality between men and women, promoting public breastfeeding and eliminating rape culture and the fallacy that a woman is “asking for it” depending on her clothing/nudity. These demands get lost behind assumptions of people not knowledgeable of the movements goals, because assumptions are mainly that all these people want is to walk around topless. This is a shallow and negative perspective of the movement and its goals, because it is using the ideograph “free the nipple” to base any opinion about the campaign on those three words. Other ideas and assumptions lie within religion or ‘scientific facts’ . Religious believing that it is sinful to expose female breasts, and people claiming that breasts are in fact sexual organs.

Thesis

Although the ACT UP social movement against AIDS did help to drastically change the state of the AIDS epidemic for the better, they nearly didn’t achieve such success due to apathy that clouded their initial drive towards the later stages of the epidemic.

Conclusion

ACT UP did contribute a lot towards the movement to better the state of the AIDS epidemic. It created a sense of empathy that showed that those infected were everyday people, and were unafraid to express and showcase their anger in order to be heard and seen. However, the quality of their contributions towards the movement didn't always remain the best, and hindered them from progressing at a more desirable rate.

Toolbox for Free the Nipple

 Ideograph- Idiographic aspects of the FTN movement are found mostly in the actions and signs that are used to promote the movement itself. “Free the Nipple” in itself is an ideograph for it’s movement, and it is the actual name for it as well. But just ‘freeing the Nipple’ does not reflect the messages and goals that are meaning to be sent from the people supporting the movement. A few big goals of this movement are destroying rape culture, promoting public breast-feeding, equality between men and women, and desexualizing the female breast and nipple. So, “free the nipple” does not seem to encompass all of these goals, but it is a bold statement and name used for a bold movement, and that’s what is needed to enforce invigorating rhetoric and methods of persuasion promoting this movement. 

Cyborg- How does this movements rhetoric reflect it’s messages? Well, many of the slogans like “free the nipple” or “still not asking for it” or “Stop sexualizing our bodies” seem somewhat vague in comparison to what this movement claims to enforce. In a very forceful and ‘to the point’ way, these messages definitely promote the more abnormal goals of this movement like rape culture and equality, but the breastfeeding aspect of this movement is not as common in this movements actions, even though it is an important piece of the FTNM. 

Free the Nipple POT

 The two large takeaways from our big book that truly and deeply connect with the Free the Nipple movement are Values and Comparisons. Specifically Abstract Values, and Comparisons under Quasi Logical Arguments. These conclusions have been made based from various YouTube interviews, signs, and articles. 

The values of a social movement are normally hidden from the world, Leaving only the actions of a movement to be up for judgment. The core values of the FTNM are controversial as always, but specifically they are based on equality, change of social norms, change of laws, destruction of rape culture and promotion of public breastfeeding. 

I have to use abstract values to describe this movement, because it is promoting change and in a way, revolution. I say this only because it is looking to change specific laws and perceptions on women’s bodies that should apparently already be normal and universal. It is not concrete because it is not using people or an object to build it’s values upon, and it is not a ‘unique’ or separate argument because it is supposed to be universal, yet it is not truly based on universal values such as obligation, fidelity, loyalty, solidarity or discipline. It’s based on something that should be seen as universal, which is the opposition to rape culture, equality, change and desexualization of breasts. 

The FTNM used comparison to compare itself to the normalcy of men being able to exist in public while being topless. It is taking this one universal truth, and using it to justify it’s own goals.
