Bradford Vivian

    Bradford Vivian è uno studioso il cui lavoro approfondisce le teorie della retorica, l'arte della persuasione e le controversie pubbliche che circondano le memorie collettive di eventi passati. La sua ricerca indaga come le memorie storiche vengono costruite, contestate e condivise, esplorando l'intricata relazione tra linguaggio, memoria e cultura pubblica. Le analisi di Vivian esaminano criticamente come le società affrontano le storie traumatiche e i processi retorici coinvolti nel "ricominciare" dopo eventi significativi. I suoi scritti offrono profonde intuizioni sul potere della retorica di plasmare la nostra comprensione del passato e il suo impatto sul presente.

    Campus Misinformation
    • In Campus Misinformation, Bradford Vivian shows how misinformation about colleges and universities has proliferated in recent years, with potentially dangerous results. Popular but highly misleading narratives about the state of free speech and intellectual diversity on college campuses impede constructive deliberation about higher education while promoting suspect ideas about First Amendment freedoms and democratic participation. A powerful demonstration of how disingenuous information can become accepted as fact, this book should matter to anyone concerned about the state of higher education and our democracy alike.
