	Visual rhetoric - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The study of visual rhetoric is different from that of visual or graphic design, in that it emphasizes images as rational expressions of cultural meaning, as opposed to mere aesthetic consideration (Kress 18).
		Visual rhetoric is closely related to the older study of semiotics.
		Visual tropes and tropic thinking are a part of visual rhetoric (the art of visual persuasion and visual communication using visual images).

		Visual Rhetoric/Status of Visual Rhetoric and Visual Literacy in the Academy
		Visual rhetoric lends itself to so many Definitions of Visual Rhetoric that there is quite a bit of confusion concerning where to draw the line between what should be studied as visual rhetoric and what should not be.
		At this point in the infancy of academically studied visual rhetoric, the main objective of scholars should be to engage in purposful discussion about what visual rhetoric is and what it is not, all the while keeping in mind the goal of visual rhetoric’s emergence as a full-fledged academic discipline.

		COMM 103 Rhetoric of Adventure Adventure stories provide thematic backbone to contemporary nation building enterprises as they foreground the acts of heroes in the exploration of new territories; justify the taken-for-granted assumptions of the colonial subject; establish relationships based upon race, gender, and class; and privilege adventurers' epistemologies into the spaces and placed entered.

		Visual rhetoric is the same way; you must let your imagination roam a bit to actually take in another’s views.

	Visual Rhetoric/Cultural Theories of Visual Rhetoric - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
		Visual rhetoric is no different in its impact and being impacted by society and different cultural values, ideology, and styles.
		Visual literacy, as it is attached to cultural rhetorical theory, is very much imbedded in the idea that there must be some sort of common ground that enables everyone to read the message, especially if that message comes from a governing or authoritative body.
		Cultural rhetoric depends on the values and systems of a nation group and can be a very hard obstacle to overcome when dealing with literacy, verbal and visual.

	Metroactive Books \| Inese Heinzel
		She stumbled across the concept she terms "visual rhetoric" as she was teaching English to undergraduate students.
		Heinzel's line of inquiry into the rhetoric of images began as a way to answer the question of why her students were less interested in reading, and whether or not images--and particularly the offspring of the digital age (she cites the Internet, photo-cell phones and interactive home-video software)--were really the culprits.
		Heinzel is interested in promoting the pairing of visuals and words together in a classroom setting, which she feels is more likely to increase a student's potential to truly learn something as opposed to merely memorizing it.

		Some, like W.J.T. Mitchell, suggest that the "visual turn" has replaced the "linguistic" turn in recent years, and certainly the cottage industry of historical, critical and theoretical work on visuality, visual culture, technologies of vision, specularity and the gaze, scopic regimes, the seen (scene), ocularcentrism, etc. would seem to support the claim.
		We will begin by briefly examining how rhetoric and the visual have been articulated at several key moments in their respective histories from classical antiquity to the present.
		Coursewill cover the gamut from classical antiquity to the renaissance to the twentieth century, but will emphasize contemporary efforts to theorize the relationship between rhetoric and the visual as it is constituted and experienced in late modern society.

	Rhetoric's Road Trips
		In the past, rhetoric was associated most closely with the heard/oral/aural; modern rhetoric attends to the textual; the future of rhetoric absolutely must encompass electronic, visual, and other forms of non-verbal media.
		I would like to participate in a discussion of the future direction of rhetoric, advocating the position that the most exciting challenge facing this generation of rhetoricians is a better understanding of Visual Rhetoric.
		A conservative rhetorical approach to scientific or technical literature not only ignores the importance of the non-verbal component but faces another challenge, that of turgidity: in the words of illustrator Douglas Henderson, "science literature rarely sings." Yet the preponderance of scientific literature belies its inaccessibility to the public for whom it is so important.

		With the exception of texts about images, or that use graphs, charts, or tables as evidence for conclusions, the contribution of the visual to the text's meaning in the print essay is not usually considered.
		With graphics and other visual elements firmly established as central to hypertext design, scholars have turned increased attention to the contribution of the visual to the meaning of a text.
		And if hypertext authors are to explore the potential role of the visual in academic hypertext, they need to understand these scholars' ideas as they attempt to develop academic hypertexts.
