Jane Amelon Old Dominion University, 2011 Director: Dr. David D. Metzger Quilts have been documented as artifacts of past experiences and social circumstances, but the rhetorical aspects have been largely unexplored. In this study, I establish quilting as a form of knowledge about memory, one of the canons of rhetoric. This task requires a rhetorical framework of memory to accomplish its end. In order to create a rhetorical framework for the study of memory, I examine preservative and generative memory as represented in women's quilts. Previous quilt studies have not addressed these two facets of memory, and previous memory studies have paid little or no attention to quilts. Additionally, this study will link memory to identity. The dominant term discovered through Kenneth Burke's pentadic analysis for identity will also be linked to memory study. Thus, this study links the concepts of memory and identity together and establishes quilts as an artifact for rhetorical study. In particular, this study demonstrates how the distinctive nature of memory generates new memories, preserves captured memories, and provides a powerful conceptual tool for the study of identity through quilts. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My name appears on the cover of this dissertation; however, a great many have contributed to its production. I owe my gratitude to all who have made this dissertation possible and because of whom my dream was realized. The Academic Team that patiently guided me was led by Dr David Metzger, and my utmost and sincere appreciation goes to him. I was very fortunate to have an advisor who would patiently guide me when I faltered. Dr Joyce Neff was always positive and so thorough. Dr Virginia Gunn's insightful comments aided me immensely. There were other people at the university that I would like to acknowledge. The first group of cohorts for the English PhD program kept me sharp. Lisa Dunbar always got me in to see Dr Metzger. The librarians helped immensely with interlibrary loans and research-oriented questions that I would create at the last minute. The women that allowed me to interview them need to be acknowledged as well. Marsha Weinstein provided guidance as well as inspiration. Laurel Horton guided me through a writing crisis. Elle Ryan shared a great deal with me, so that I could accomplish this task. And Shelly Zygert opened her home to me and shared. Thank you. Many friends have helped me stay the course. Particularly I would like to acknowledge the Tidewater Quilters' Guild and The Bee. Their support helped me realize I could complete this dream. Most importantly, none of this would have been possible without the love and patience of my family. My husband, Rick Amelon, offered the best support any spouse could ever have received. My daughters, Mariah and Sarah, and their families, Ethan and iv Amelon and Tad and Trip, sacrificed a great deal of "Gigi" time so this goal could be accomplished. My mother, Jimmie Fox, provided unquestioning support. To the women who have gone before me.. .thank you for the inspiration. And last, sitting by my feet, offering unconditional love while I worked were some very special friends. No matter the situation, no matter how sad I became, no matter how frustrated I was, these friends were invariably there with kisses and endearing looks. Thank you Daryl, Brokie, Wawa, Hunter, Diesel, Freckles, and Autumn. V TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I. INTRODUCTION 1 II. LITERATURE REVIEW 10 MEMORY 11 IDENTITY 29 QUILTS 56 III.

In this study, I establish quilting as a form of knowledge about memory, one of the canons of rhetoric. This task requires a rhetorical framework of memory to accomplish its end. In order to create a rhetorical framework for the study of memory, I examine preservative and generative memory as represented in quilts. Previous quilt studies have not addressed these two facets of memory, and previous memory studies have paid little or no attention to quilts. This study links the concepts of memory and identity together and establishes quilts as an artifact for a rhetorical canon. In particular, this study demonstrates how the distinctive nature of memory generates new memories, preserves captured memories, and provides a powerful conceptual tool for the study of identity through quilts. Differentiating between generative and preservative memories gives insight into women rhetors' individual identities and their motivations in quilt creation. In this first chapter, I will share a personal narrative that relates how a quilter might draw on memories as an epistemic resource for identity construction. It is hoped that this personal narrative will deepen, if not counteract, the abstract character of rhetorical theorization—showing how memories might serve as materials for identity construction and how identities are themselves repurposed in the act of remembering. At the end of this chapter, I explain the structure of my study: the subsequent chapters, their contents and functions. First, I present my story of the 2002 Cruise Quilt. On June 20, 2002, Mariah Amelon, my daughter with my husband, Rick Amelon, made her first U.S. Navy deployment aboard the U.S.S. George Washington while attached to VAW-125. VAW- 125 is a squadron of E-2 Hawkeye aircraft. Her mission while in the North Arabian Sea was to support Operation Southern Watch (This operation was to monitor and control airspace over the 32nd parallel in Iran.) and Operation Enduring Freedom (This operation was essentially the war in Afghanistan.).

From the inception of this country to the present day, the world knows the United States as a militaristic power. The 20th century was a particularly tumultuous time in which the United States participated in many military conflicts including World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, and several other smaller or unofficial engagements. The use of propaganda acts as a common thread that ties all these military actions together. Countries rely on propaganda during wartime for a variety of reasons.
