[Call for Papers] Mediated Rhetoric of Recent Conflicts

Call for Submissions to Res Rhetorica (volume 2/2025).

Communication may be a means of eliminating difference and misunderstanding among individuals and communities, but it also gives rise to possible conflicts of interest, and can be strategically used to express conflicting views and values. While these conflicts may be represented as simple differences, contrasts, discords and dissents, they may escalate to arguments and attacks, opposition and abuse, hostility and violence.

This issue explores the rhetorical dimensions of conflict discourses as reflected in contemporary media landscapes. It aims to show how established rhetorical categories and analytic protocols can be adapted to making sense of and explaining the mechanisms of today’s conflicts, both real and imagined.
