Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jerry Brown (1942-2016) was a nationally recognized folk potter based in Hamilton, Alabama, whose family has been making pottery in the South since the 1830s. Traditionally, southern potters made utilitarian objects necessary for rural life. As a boy, Brown and his brother learned the family's timeworn methods and techniques helping their father in his shop, including tending the mule that drove the mill that mixed clay. Business suffered as demand for stoneware churns, jugs, and chamber pots waned in the postwar years, and manufacture ceased following the deaths of Brown's father and brother in the mid-1960s. Brown turned to logging for his livelihood, his skill with mules proving useful in working difficult and otherwise inaccessible terrain. In the early 1980s, he returned to the family trade and opened a new shop that relied on the same methods of production with which he had grown up, including a mule-powered mill for mixing clay and the use of a wood-fired rather than gas-fueled kiln. He stayed in logging for a few more years, but pottery soon became Brown's main occupation. Folklorist Joey Brackner met Brown in 1983 while researching traditional Alabama pottery for the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts and the Alabama State Council for the Arts. The two quickly became close friends and collaborated together on a variety of documentary and educational projects in succeeding years-efforts which led to greater exposure, commercial success, and Brown's recognition as a National Heritage Fellow by the National Endowment for the Arts in 1992. These developments were part of a larger overall trend as the utilitarian origins of traditional craft practices evolved into more explicitly creative and cultural forms of practice. Arts and crafts fairs cropped up around the country, and Brown adapted accordingly, specializing in collectible crowd-pleasers like face jugs and eventually launching the Jerry Brown Arts Festival, which takes place in Hamilton every spring. For years, Brown spoke of the urge to write a book, but never set pen to paper. In 2015, Brackner took the bull by the horns, interviewing Brown and recording his life story over the course of a weekend. Although Brown died suddenly the following year, Jerry Brown Pottery remains in operation, managed by Brown's wife, stepson, and his family. Of Mules and Mud is the story of Jerry Brown's life in his words as recounted in those recorded sessions, lightly edited and elaborated, and illustrated with photos from all phases of Brown's life"--

Download or read book Political Argumentation in the United States written by David Zarefsky and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, political argumentation occurs in institutionalized settings and the broader public forum, in efforts to resolve conflict and efforts to foster it, in settings with time limits and controversies that extend over centuries. From the ratification of the U.S. Constitution to the presidency of Barack Obama, this book contains twenty studies of U.S. political argumentation, grouped under four themes: early American political discourse, Abraham Lincoln’s political argumentation, argumentation about foreign policy, and public policy argumentation since the 1960s. Deploying methods of rhetorical criticism, argument analysis and evaluation, the studies are rich in contextual grounding and critical perspective. They integrate the European emphasis on politics as an argumentative context with the U.S. tradition of public address studies. Two essays have never before been published. The others are retrieved from journals and books published between 1979 and 2014. The introductory essay is new for this volume.
