An examination of two seemingly incongruous areas of study:
classical models of argumentation and modern modes of digital
communication. What can ancient rhetorical theory possibly tell us
about the role of new digital media technologies in contemporary
public culture? Some central issues we currently deal
withaEURO"making sense of information abundance, persuading others
in our social network, navigating new media ecologies, and shaping
broader cultural currentsaEURO"also pressed upon the ancients.
Ancient Rhetorics and Digital Networks makes this connection
explicit, reexamining key figures, texts, concepts, and
sensibilities from ancient rhetoric in light of the glow of digital
networks, or, ordered conversely, surveying the angles and tangles
of digital networks from viewpoints afforded by ancient rhetoric.
By providing an orientation grounded in ancient rhetorics, this
collection simultaneously historicizes contemporary developments
and reenergizes ancient rhetorical vocabularies. Contributors
engage with a variety of digital phenomena including remix, big
data, identity and anonymity, memes and virals, visual images,
decorum, and networking. Taken together, the essays in Ancient
Rhetorics and Digital Networks help us to understand and navigate
some of the fundamental communicative issues we deal with today.
