*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.
