Abstract

This essay examines the transformation of ideographs as they are passed from one social movement organization to another. The processes of articulation and appropriation are presented as a means of understanding which circumstances allow for a successful conveyance of discourse. A case study of “downwinder” discourse is offered as a means of analyzing this process and its effect on the construction of identity and place.
