Visual/Rhetoric Specialty Area 2

Rationale

This is the rhetoric and visual rhetoric list (Visual/Rhetoric). It compiles all the major works for rhet-comp-type rhetorical philosophy. I have brought in a few pieces that address racial and ethnic qualities of rhetoric. There are pieces to support the concept of a comic book discourse community. Other pieces help address convergence culture and adaptation studies in determining adaptation strategies and why they were employed. The visual rhetoric just piggy backs off of classic rhetoric. Half of the visual rhetoric list is just terminology and jargon, the other half is people applying the theory to specific projects.
