My dissertation contributes to scholarship on visual rhetoric and public rhetoric by examining the role of icons in public discourse. My study of icons builds our understanding of what icons are, how they circulate and develop meanings (for good and for ill) among communities, and contributes to pedagogy. It is important for teachers to prepare students for negotiating the complex and contested visual rhetorics they will encounter and use in online spaces. Studying icons is important for writing studies because of the increasingly visual nature of communication, both inside and outside the classroom. In chapter 1, I open with vignettes, research context, and the frame for how my study took shape, grounded in some foundational and definitional understanding of what icons are and how they function. In chapter 2, I explore the theories and rhetorics within the use of iconographies tied to both spiritual and social concerns where communities rally around visual icons for purposes of heritage, coalition building, and social activism. In chapter 3, I establish a lens for research methodologies and methods specifically used to track, research, and code for icon usage especially in online spaces like Twitter. In chapters 4 and 5, I present my critical case study on the Celtic Cross and the controversy caused by the appropriation of this ancient spiritual symbol by white supremacist groups. I unpack the nuances, historical and contemporary contexts, and rhetoric connected with the usage of the Celtic Cross by bringing in scholarly discussion and in-depth analysis of the icon. In Chapter 6 I present a classroom based study that examines student usage of icons within infographics they created. I close this project with Chapter 7 which encompasses my major implications from studying icons in a variety of contexts. As a teacher, my key insights include: actively researching icons online generates important meaning-making moments and points of analysis; students will gain better awareness of how they are impacted by icons; engaging in multimodal, open-access sites, builds on student research practices. Lastly, teachers can build curriculum that integrates concepts of icons into ongoing discussions about discourse communities, genres, and different types of research students will conduct in their writing courses.
