"By highlighting experimental art as rhetorical deliberation on contemporary projects of control and as maps of disobedient avenues pointing toward new worlds, Stagliano shows a vital new direction for conceptualizing rhetoric in the present."—Andrew Pilsch is associate professor of English at Texas AM University. He is the author of Transhumanism: Evolutionary Futurism and the Human Technologies of Utopia“In Disobedient Aesthetics: Surveillance, Bodies, Control, Anthony Stagliano brings theories of rhetoric and media to bear on compelling examples of embodied protests against control society technology. His discussion of facial recognition as a form of production posits the human face in posthuman terms--face as an interface of control, face as a site of demand, face as an index of unrecognizable traits, and face as a locale for deception and truth—thus upending a purely representational approach to aesthetics.”—Annette Vee is associate professor of English and director of composition at the University of Pittsburgh. She is the author of Coding Literacy: How Computer Programming is Changing Writing.
