Oops ... seems like I forgot to post Flores. Here you go (attached).

Attached are the readings for the Young Lords unit that aren't in your book.

From the Young Lords Reader, read the introduction, foreword, Chapter 1, pages 92-93, and another chapter of your choice. :)

McGee talks about the 3 fallacies present in the "movement as phenomenon" position. It occurred to me that you may not know what those fallacies are. Soooo ... I'm attaching a great PDF that explains a host of different fallacies. All the ones McGee talks about are here ... with examples that are mostly current. :)

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?

The readings for Wednesday's class are designed to offer a broad introduction to social movement studies from rhetorical perspectives. The three brief articles each represents a different attitude toward the study of social movement rhetoric. Think about the similarities and differences between these different scholars and what the advantages and disadvantages of the different attitudes might be. Be sure to be attentive to core concepts as you're thinking about the comparisons, too.

The articles are attaches, in the order you should read them, below.

Bitzer's "rhetorical situation" represents a key set of concepts for talking about rhetoric "in the wild," so to speak. While hardly comprehensive, it's a good starting point. Class discussion will go well beyond this reading; but you should feel free to pick up where we leave off and continue your discussion/commentary here. The article is attached for your convenience.
