Communication Rhetoric Native Studies Critical rhetoric Postcolonial theory Indigenous studies Geopolitics Land rights Social movements Resistance This project is concerned with the historical legacy of settler colonialism on indigenous-occupied lands and the ways in which land rights are rhetorically constructed and enacted across transnational geopolitical terrain. I utilize pan-historiography to develop Michael McGee’s theorization of the ideograph towards what I term an “ideomap” – a place-based approach to comparative ideology that recognizes the rhetorical agency of subaltern collectives. In exploring four indigenous communities, I analyze the ways in which land is not only reflective of ideology but also produces culturally distinct possibilities for decolonization: first, the Standing Rock Sioux’s Dakota Access Pipeline protest as a case for land as economy; second, Aboriginal Australia’s Stolen Generations campaign as a case for land as family; third, Palestine’s Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement as a case for land as law; and fourth, Brazil’s Terra Livre camp as a case for land as environment. The connective thread among these cases explores the spatial rhetorics of indigenous land and the practice of place-making as one that ideologically disrupts settler invasion and physically exercises anticolonial resistance on physical, digital, and hybrid spaces. In particular, I argue these four movements speak to the possibility of collapsing colonial structures and redefining civil societies that not only acknowledge but actively build upon indigenous perspectives. 2019-09-23 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou156346106453335 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou156346106453335 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
