[megan schoen]

The* Present Tense* editors are pleased to announce the release of volume
8, issue 2
<http://www.presenttensejournal.org/editorial/volume-8-2-contested-publics/>.
Many thanks to our authors, reviewers, and editors. This tenth- anniversary
issue includes:

Johanna Phelps’ article “Common Rule Vulnerabilities: Practices,
Pedagogies, and Effective Public Deliberative Rhetoric
<http://www.presenttensejournal.org/volume-8/common-rule-vulnerabilities-practices-pedagogies-and-effective-public-deliberative-rhetoric/>”
considers the federal policy that governs research with human participants
at federally funded organizations, and explains how “Public comment on the
proposed revision changed the shape of the final policy to ensure that
individuals with physical disabilities are better able to advocate for
their own autonomy.”

Jordan Frith’s “Pushing Back on the Rhetoric of “Real” Life
<http://www.presenttensejournal.org/volume-8/pushing-back-on-the-rhetoric-of-real-life/>”
tackles a different issue — that of how the phrase “in real life” and asks
our fields to “interrogate the seemingly mundane terms we use when we talk
about online life.”

In “A Rhetoric of 心 (Heart) and Liberal Democracy
<http://www.presenttensejournal.org/volume-8/a-rhetoric-of-心-heart-and-liberal-democracy/>,”
Tyler Carter argues that Chinese word 心 (xīn), commonly translated as
“heart,” “challenges the epistemological divides present in American and,
more broadly, Western Liberal Democracies and can also be seen at work in
the recent emergence of American identity politics.”

Jenna Vinson and Clare Daniel’s “Power to Decide” Who Should Get Pregnant:
A Feminist Rhetorical Analysis of Neoliberal Visions of Reproductive Justice
<http://www.presenttensejournal.org/volume-8/power-to-decide-who-should-get-pregnant-a-feminist-rhetorical-analysis-of-neoliberal-visions-of-reproductive-justice/>”
engage in a “feminist rhetorical analysis that entails critically
interrogating how audiences are prompted to accept particular ways of
knowing or believing that sustain systems of domination related to
reproduction.”

Rich Shivener’s “Pressurized Rhetorical Bodies: Student-Athletes between
Feeling Rules and Affective Publics
<http://www.presenttensejournal.org/volume-8/pressurized-rhetorical-bodies-student-athletes-between-feeling-rules-and-affective-publics/>”
analyzes student-athletes’ rhetorical activity by examining a university
handbook for student-athlete decorum. He argues that it “chills
student-athletes’ negative talk and enacts what Arlie Hochschild and Adia
Wingfield define as feeling rules.”

In “The Law-Abiding Citizen as Ideobody
<http://www.presenttensejournal.org/volume-8/the-law-abiding-citizen-as-ideobody-2/>,”
Dana Comi interrogates the power of the concept of a “law-abiding citizen”
and explores how the term “ideobody” was used and abused during a committee
hearing on House Bill 2074 (HB-2074).

Brian Bailie’s “So, Richard Spencer Is Coming to Your Campus. How He Was
Allowed on, and How You Can Confront Him
<http://www.presenttensejournal.org/volume-8/so-richard-spencer-is-coming-to-your-campus-how-he-was-allowed-on-and-how-you-can-confront-him/>”
considers the intersections of fee speech absolutism and economics in
confrontations over highly contested speakers, and suggests how to “better
represent the values hoped for on university campuses.”
