Abstract

This essay advocates the necessity of considering the body when attempting to understand the effects of many forms of public argument, especially social protest rhetoric. Close readings of the unruly acts of Earth First!, ACT UP, and Queer Nation, make evident that both the meaning and force of their arguments is dependent on the deployment of their bodies.
