Res Rhetorica

Aims & Scope

Res Rhetorica is a peer-reviewed open access quarterly academic journal associated with the Polish Rhetoric Society.

Its scope includes both theories of rhetoric and practices of persuasive communication.

It offers space for reflection on the role of rhetoric in communication and a forum for dissemination of rhetoric-oriented research on current and historical texts and practices.

It publishes original theoretical or analytic papers, as well as book reviews, notes on current developments and conferences in the field.

Res Rhetorica quarterly aims, among others, to make known and popularize rhetorical research in different countries.

The contribution to rhetoric published in less-known languages remains unknown outside the local communities of research.

This prevents us from observing the similarities and differences between the mainstream research and the topics addressed by singular communities.

Therefore, once a year, Res Rhetorica devotes one monographical issue to the presentation of the rhetorical tradition of one country.

Such a monographical issue is prepared in collaboration with an invited guest editor from the country selected.

Each guest editor, although he/she collaborates with one of the editors of Res Rhetorica, is free to invite rhetoricians from his/her country to contribute to the volume.

The overall goal of each monographical issue is to underline the specificity and originality of the rhetorical research in the country being presented, as well as its interactions with other traditions of research.
