Performing Data and Visualizing Difference: Developing a Performative Rhetoric of Infographics for the Writing Classroom

Valerie L. Hanson

Abstract

To equip students to analyze and create infographics with a rich understanding of rhetorical dynamics and sensitivity to how difference and equity issues are communicated, I propose a pedagogical approach to infographics drawn from Karen Barad’s concept of performative enactment and describe its implementation in a required writing classroom.
