Description

Explore the connection between communication and large-scale technological disasters with The Rhetoric of Risk. This volume from the Rhetoric, Knowledge, and Society Series examines how documentation practices influence critical decisions in hazardous environments. By analyzing real-world events like the Amtrak crash near Baltimore, the Hyatt hotel collapse, and the Three Mile Island incident, this book investigates the role of technical writing in preventing or contributing to catastrophe. Readers will encounter deep inquiries into the ethical responsibilities of writers within large agencies and the epistemological nature of scientific representation. The text also addresses rhetorical questions regarding how expertise and experience serve as the basis for risk assessment. This book provides a necessary look at how the way we document information affects safety and judgment in high-stakes settings.
