The Curious Case of the Asian Carp: Spatial Performances and the Making of an Invasive Species is a theoretical argument for how species are rhetorically made invasive and builds a methodological relationship between actor-network theory and cultural rhetorics. In this dissertation, I speak to scholars of actor-network theory (ANT) and environmental rhetoric (ER). For ANT scholars, I present cultural rhetorics as useful because it marks actor-networks as performing their work by enacting rhetorics. For ER scholars, I argue that ANT offers a meaningful methodology that allows for understanding environmental crises with greater complexity by making an analytical turn toward ontology rather than epistemology.
