Books by Barbara Warnick

Examines how rhetorical theory can be applied to political activity across a range of media technologies. In this title, Warnick and Heineman study the web as a public sphere, touching on how websites, social media, viral video, and web-based anti-institutional practices such as hacktivism impact something from electoral politics to activism.

This work contributes to critical thinking about public issues related to technology development. Its aims are to examine how certain values, such as progress and profit, are elevated in such public discourse, while others, such as community and social justice, are displaced.
