Within social movement studies, there is a sub-literature about confrontation and the "rhetoric of the streets." Some of the stuff you'll read later in the semester will reference this heavily. Basically, this literature is interested in how we might look at protest and movement rhetoric that is embodied, visual, confrontational, and not necessarily argumentative in the formal sense. Think about how each of these folks talks about rhetoric and confrontation. Do the authors value confrontation differently? Do they seem to have different definitions or perspectives on what's "going on" in confrontational or street rhetorics?
