abstract="School shootings are mediated by ways of sensing--through seeing bloodless, distant photographs and hearing retroactive eyewitness accounts. Yet at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, students' cell phones offered a more immediate and immersive experience. This new way of seeing and hearing created a unique rhetoric situation. In the immediate aftermath, Emma González, a student and survivor of the Parkland shooting, seized upon this perspective to invent a new figure, the &quot;Parkland Kid,&quot; a generational stakeholder in the gun debate. The new subject position of the &quot;Parkland Kid&quot; expanded the range of thinkable thoughts, opened novel discursive strategies, and moved the intractable gun debate forward.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
