About
Michael Lane Bruner (a.k.a. M. Lane Bruner) is Professor of Rhetoric and Politics in the Department of Communication at Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia. He researches the relationship between language and political power, combining rhetorical theory, critical theory, performance theory, and continental philosophy.
Much of his work, including his books on public memory, national identity construction, economic ideology, and aesthetics and politics, takes the form of ideological criticism, examining how taken for granted cultural assumptions do violence. More specifically, he is interested in how public truth telling is usually punished while public lying is rewarded, the tensive relationship between truth and fiction, and strategies for artfully resisting political oppression.
Dr. Bruner regularly teaches rhetorical theory, discourse theory, publics and politics, and identity studies at the doctoral level, rhetorical theory and communication theory at the MA level, and argumentation and persuasion and propaganda at the undergraduate level.
Professor Bruner is currently on the editorial boards of the Quarterly Journal of Speech, Rhetoric and Public Affairs, the Journal of International and Intercultural Communication, National Identities, and Controversia, and he has been on the editorial boards of Communication Studies, Text and Performance Quarterly, and the Southern Journal of Communication.
