Show moreCrafting Place: Rhetorical Practices of the Everyday explores how everyday rhetorical practices contribute to place- and space-making that enable us negotiate and form identities as well as develop professional skills. The theoretical framework I build is based upon a qualitative research study of a crafting group, The Crafty Beavers, whose members are graduate students. The methods used in the study include oral history interviews and participant-observation of group meetings. By listening to the stories from The Crafty Beavers, I hear their stories as theories and use them as the primary framework for the dissertation project. Their theories draw attention to how practice informs place and place informs practice, especially focusing on the practices of making social spaces when negotiating and adapting to academic places. The everyday practices within the group are carried from spaces of the group and spaces of home into professional spaces of participants' graduate studies. Through these stories and experiences, I develop a theoretical and methodological framework for studying space and place as simultaneously rhetorical, cultural, social, and physical that emphasizes the importance of everyday practice in the making of meaning and the making of space and place. This framework includes five key arguments 1) Space is fluid and relational and exists within and/or alongside place, 2) Place is more stable than space and is given meaning through artifact, language, and practice, 3) Spaces are made to change, adapt, and manipulate places, 4) Space and place are performed in multiple ways simultaneously, and 5) Space and place are mobilized through everyday cultural practices. Ultimately, these stories are about rhetoric and power and indicate a need for increased attention to how everyday practices and places inform professional practices and places.

Show moreSince the end of WWII individual European nation-state elites have worked together on the European Project, currently known as the European Union. The European Project was a reaction to war's aftermath and the rapidly changing global political post-war economy, the beginning of the Cold War, and the trend toward decolonization. Although the European Project began as a strictly economic partnership, by the 1990s the need for political- and social-based programs to re-build European solidarity and identity was eventually recognized by the political elite. A collective identity was deemed vital to invigorate and sustain the legitimacy and usefulness of state institutions; EU institutional leaders recognized the criticality of creating solidarity and a collective identity among European citizens and members in order to legitimate and perpetuate EU institutions. Lack of solidarity on the "ground level" among citizens is now among a variety of challenges facing the European Project.Notwithstanding the continual growth of the EU through enlargement, the rising viability of the euro, and the seeming ease with which social and political progress and cooperation has been accomplished through the 1990s, challenges to the EU have emerged as threats to the viability of institutions as well as to collective solidarity and identity among citizens. These challenges revolve around member state identity and loyalty built centuries before through colonization, imperialism and war experiences that solidified citizens' loyalty and trust in Member State institutions. The main challenge focused on here is "the gap" reflected in a "democratic deficit" between Brussels and EU citizens characterized by low levels of trust and participation in EU institutions. Additionally, European nationalism, the Eurozone crisis and the increasingly questionable economic viability of the EU that has emerged in the past few years has also fueled perceived threats to Member State identity that maintains "the gap" between citizens and institutional agendas and goals. This dissertation examines the "top-down" institutional need to construct solidarity and loyalty among EU citizens as well as the "bottom-up" reaction from citizens in regard to their trust in and support for the EU. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of European Commission White Papers illustrate the role of institutional power in attempts to create and shape European identity as a way of legitimizing the EU not only to its citizens but also in the international arena. Eurobarometer data are analyzed to explain citizens' perceptions of and attitudes toward the EU. Patterns of response among younger cohorts, those experiencing financial difficulty and in occupational categories of "housepersons" and the unemployed are most likely to reveal a "populist" perspective that is less likely to feel European, less likely to support the EU and more likely to be critical of presence of the Other. Also, trends among older Europeans and those who tend to benefit from the European Project, such as managers and students, reflect a "cosmopolitan" perspective in which there is more attachment to European identity, support for the EU and less critical perspectives of the Other in European society.
