Enculturation 3.2: Visual Rhetoric
“Enculturation is a refereed journal devoted to contemporary theorizations of rhetoric, writing, and culture. We accept academic arguments, broadly construed, in all media forms suitable for web-based publication, including conventional articles, hypertexts, and multimedia projects.”
“The Journal of Visual Literacy (JVL) is a refereed, scholarly journal. It invites manuscripts that explore empirical, theoretical, practical, or applied aspects of visual literacy and communication.”
“This journal is dedicated to explorations of the material and political dimensions of cultural practices: the means by which cultural objects and communities are produced, the historical contexts in which they emerge, and the regimes of knowledge or modes of social interaction to which they contribute.”
