Itineration. Cross-Disciplinary Studies in Rhetoric, Media, and Culture (ISSN: 2169-561X)

Description

Cross-Disciplinary Studies in Rhetoric, Media,
and Culture is an international, refereed publication devoted to
mapping the intersections of rhetoric, media, and culture. The journal
is founded on the notion that the study of persuasion?what it is, that
it is, how it operates and is operated upon?is a broad and complex
area of scholarship open to multiple lines of investigation through a
variety of disciplines, genre, and media. Itineration is a wandering
process of discovery and invention. It discovers as it constructs what
it discovers through practice. In the context of the journal,
itineration calls for wandering through disciplines, genre, and media
in pursuit of the rhetorical.
Itineration seeks works generally considered “nontraditional” in that
their nontraditionality is established by the eschewing of conceptual
boundaries that separate the humanities, and specifically rhetoric,
from the rest of the academic world. We encourage submissions that
take risks, to such an extent that “risk” is recognized as the
shifting myriad possibilities that appear, disappear, and mutate as
one follows any spiritual, intellectual, or investigative path. Rather
than offering a clear-cut definition of what rhetoric is, Itineration
seeks submissions that investigate, expose, interrogate, contemplate,
and/or complicate the rhetorical impetus evident in all cultural
productions, including examination of the very concept of “culture.”
