Rosa Alicia Clemente Presents: “Can’t Stop Our Blackness: Black Latinx Narratives and Resisting Erasure”
Mainstream conservative rhetoric, dating even far back in the 20th century, has put the United States on track to our contemporary firestorm of racist, misogynist, and gendered aggrievement. Paul E. Johnson (University of Pittsburgh) complicates philosophical narratives about conservatism as a heterodox ideology, focusing on its reliance upon cunning, longstanding identity politics and the possessive liberal tradition.
Allison M. Prasch (University of Wisconsin, Madison) considers how presidential appearances overseas broadcast American superiority during the Cold War. Drawing on extensive archival research, she theorizes the “global rhetorical presidency,” and reveals how the president’s physical presence defined the boundaries of the “Free World” and elevated the United States in Cold War geopolitics.
