Part I: Visual Rhetorics of Communist Romania: Life Under the Totalitarian Gaze -- 1. Introduction -- 2. Living in the Totalitarian World -- Part II: Visual Rhetorics of Power: The Communist Gaze -- 3. Communist Propaganda: Imagery, Propaganda, and Rhetorical Grounding -- 4. Visual Rhetorical Analyses of Propaganda in LateCommunist Romania -- Part III: Visual Rhetorics of Resistance: A Silver Lining -- 5. Asserting a Presence: Rhetorics in Time of the 1989 Revolution and Early Post-Communism -- Part IV: Bridging the Past and Present in Post/Communism -- 6. Returning the Gaze: The Visual Rhetorics of Resistance -- 7. Back to the Future?

Visual Rhetorics of Communist Romania: Life under the Totalitarian Gaze offers personal accounts and theoretical insight into the Cold War era when little information about life beyond the Iron Curtain could transpire to the West. Adriana Cordali develops a unique visual rhetorical theory for analyzing communist totalitarian propaganda and the resistance to it, and reveals the deliberate, strategic in/visibilities the rhetoric of power engaged in. Building upon the local history, ideology, and politics of the regime imposed after WWII, she identifies propaganda's rhetorical features, visual tropes, and symbols and examines striking photographs and print materials from Ceaușescu's regime (1966-1989) and the time of regime change (1989-1990), as well as an award-winning Romanian film that depicts women's life at the time. Converging visual rhetoric and culture with history and politics, Visual Rhetorics of Communist Romania is a first book of this kind and will interest readers of rhetoric and communication, visual rhetoric, and political discourse in the region. Adriana Cordali is an independent scholar, professor, technical writer for federal agencies, and article editor for academic publishers. She has a Graduate Diploma in International Studies (Johns Hopkins University) and a PhD in Rhetoric (Illinois State University), served as Chair of the Romanian Forum of the Modern Language Association (MLA) (2016-17), has published works in visual rhetoric, cultural studies, and post/communism, and received the 2014 Florence Howe Award for Outstanding Feminist Scholarship in English from the Women's Caucus of the MLA.
