The essays in this special issue identify and analyze the rhetorics enabled and disabled, disclosed and foreclosed by wearable devices and the discourses attending to them, focusing on new rhetorical situations and arguments enabled by ubiquitous data collection, new possibilities for memory created by mobile data, and new ways of understanding how a wide variety of wearable technologies create and influence conditions for communication and persuasion. Together, they explore the implications of wearable devices for rhetorics of the body and embodiment through the lenses of contemporary scholarship in feminist and queer studies, medical rhetoric, posthumanism, systems theory, and the renewed interest in environment and objects among rhetoric and communication scholars. Spanning a range of rhetorical situations, from the individual to the city to the collective, the authors in this collection complicate the claims of empowerment that are said to derive from wearable technologies and, in so doing, contribute to and build on ongoing disciplinary conversations about wearables—expanding the boundaries of rhetorical practice into new, situated spaces of everyday meaning-making occupied by these devices.
