Verbal and Visual Rhetoric in a Media World

This collection presents work that examines how tradition and renewal relate in contemporary rhetoric. Discussing new theoretical perspectives and proposing different rhetorical analyses of actual topics, the contributors focus specifically on the issue of new media discourse and visual rhetoric as it appears in pictures, graphics, cartoons, documentaries, and videos.            “This collection of papers makes a significant contribution to the field of rhetoric and the ways in which it needs to develop to help us understand the arguments of today.”—Leo Groarke, University of Windsor
