Trending and Emerging
- Rhetoric and Violence:
There is an increasing focus on the intersections of rhetoric and violence, exploring how language can perpetuate or resist violence in various contexts, including institutional and systemic frameworks. - Philosophy of Time and Kairos:
The concept of 'Kairos' and its implications for understanding time in rhetorical contexts has gained prominence, reflecting a deeper engagement with temporal philosophy and its relevance to rhetoric. - Embodied Rhetoric and Materiality:
Emerging discussions on embodied rhetoric highlight the significance of physical presence and material conditions in rhetorical practices, emphasizing the interplay between body, space, and discourse. - Sonic and Aural Rhetorics:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Rhetorical Structures:
Discussions centered on classical rhetorical structures (e.g., ethos, pathos, logos) have become less frequent, as the journal increasingly prioritizes innovative and contemporary interpretations of rhetoric. - Meta-Argumentation:
Themes specifically focused on meta-argumentation, such as formal logic and fallacies, are appearing less often, suggesting a shift towards more applied and context-sensitive analyses of rhetoric. - Purely Descriptive Studies:
There seems to be a decline in papers that offer purely descriptive accounts of rhetorical practices without critical engagement or theoretical depth, as the journal values analytical and interpretive contributions that challenge existing paradigms.
