Taking the Lowell Mills National Historical Park in Massachusetts as a case study, Propen (rhetoric and composition, York College of Pennsylvania) argues that perceptions of visual and material artifacts and the interpretations that such artifacts help foster can have varied consequences not only on the understanding of history but also on individual lived experiences and for broader societal issues such as legislation and policy making. She discusses visual rhetoric and spatiality, the visual-material spectrum, empathizing with marginalized bodies, navigating the mediated post-human body, advocating for non-human bodies, and locating visual-material rhetorics.
