James Salazar
James Salazar’s research and teaching interests include nineteenth-century U.S. literature and culture, political cultures of the U.S., classical and modern rhetorical theory, and critical theory. He has published articles on the epistemology of character in racial science, gender and the settlement-house movement, and the politics and aesthetics of cosmopolitanism. He is currently working on a book-length study titled Bodies of Reform: The Rhetoric of Character in Gilded-Age America. This project examines the development of character as a privileged bearer of national identity in popular cultural texts on “character-building,” theories and practices of literary characterization, and private and state-sponsored projects of social reform.
