[Commlist] Call for Book Chapter on Media Rhetoric

*Call for Book Chapters on Media Rhetoric*

Edited by Samuel Mateus (Madeira University)

The book aims to provide an insightful, easy to understand, approach to 
an emerging field. It is committed to assume a multidisciplinary 
viewpoint and summon up developing domains within contemporary rhetoric 
in order to offer the reader a comprehensive assessment of Media’s 
persuasive dimension.

Also, it puts into prominence the role of Rhetoric in the configuration 
and practice of Media Studies as well as evidencing the new 
possibilities Media introduced in rhetoric and persuasion processes.

The edited book will present the state-of-the-art research providing a 
useful (conceptual and methodological) tool. His goal is to provide a 
starting point to the study of the many forms by which media takes us to 
think, feel, and act.

The Media Rhetoric book calls for a comprehensive collection of essays 
by international scholars and media rhetoric practitioners, opening up a 
space for dialogue between the academy and industry. This 
interdisciplinary book will be informed by fields including rhetoric, 
digital rhetoric, visual rhetoric, advertising rhetoric, captology and 
procedural rhetorical. Together they can offer an insightful perspective 
on the manifold expression the media persuasion takes today.

  * Captology
