Chaos episode! We are all over the map today discussing embodied rhetoric, which is basically all the communication caught up in how we move and have bodies in the world. As you might expect, it’s an enormous, fraught topic. We discuss why work-from-home is a feminist issue (and highly embodied), being a person in a modern workplace and on Zoom, and the recent experience Olivia had at the art museum where she cried while looking at art (a rare form for her). Plus, we finally discuss what you’ve all been waiting for: Wide Theory and Motion Theory, our nascent ideas about Hollywood men (come for the learning stay for the Old Chairison Ford conversation).
