Ambient Rhetoric: The Attunements of Rhetorical Being by Thomas Rickert

jackieohsee's review

4.0

A, um, good read for someone like me who is just getting, um, attuned to new materialism and object oriented ontology. Dense but not especially so and helped to bring some of my previous readings—Heidegger, Latour, Jane Bennett—into conversation with one another in a shared, um, ambience.

Also enjoyed the numerous musical references—Brian Eno, John Bonham, War—but could have done without the Foghat.
