Reviews

Pauliny's book is an excellent addition to a growing spate of rhetorical scholarship on neoliberal economics and culture. Her focus on literal bodies furthers the conversations rhetoricians are having about economics, policy, migration, and immigration by materially situating those conversations on the body. Throughout the book, Pauliny demonstrates how the bisecting and presentation of actual cadavers in the BODIES exhibit enacts a type of bodily literacy that adheres to dominant and normalizing discourses, and thus she shows the BODIES exhibit to be an important site for neoliberal rhetorical analysis. -- Jennifer Wingard, University of Houston Tara Pauliny's book compellingly shows readers how insidious and pervasive neoliberal logic can be, especially when there are state-sponsored values, such as constituting a healthy or ideal citizen's body, at stake. Neoliberal Rhetorics and Body Politics is a disturbing case study in how globalized capitalism exerts shame and control over both the bodies on display and those that encounter plastinate body exhibits. -- Rebecca S. Richards, St. Olaf College
