ARTICLE Lacey, K. R., & Pruchnic, J. (Wayne State University). (2011). The future of forgetting: Rhetoric, memory, affect. Rhetoric Society Quarterly, 41(5), 472-494. This article argues for a rethinking of the rhetorical canon of memory as a productive tool for understanding and effectively responding to recent changes in culture, economics, and politics. After reviewing historical conceptions of rhetorical memory both before and after it‘s ‗‗canonization,‘‘ we identify two processes at the heart of the contemporary relationships between persuasion and memory: an ‗‗externalization‘‘ of memory and commonplace rhetorical structures through information networks and technologies, and an ‗‗internalization‘‘ of memory and dispositions that takes place in human affective systems. We conclude by arguing for the value of such an expanded notion of rhetorical memory for addressing two of the more pervasive and significant registers of contemporary persuasion: advertising and populist politics.
