The International Society for the History of Rhetoric
The purpose of the International Society for the History of Rhetoric is to promote study of the theory and practice of rhetoric in all periods and languages. The Society fosters inquiry into the relationship of rhetoric to poetics, literary theory and criticism, philosophy, politics, religion, law, and other aspects of the cultural context.
The Society was founded in 1977 and has since held biennial congresses in Europe and North America. Currently about thirty different countries are represented in the Society's membership, and this international scope is reflected in society governance. In connection with its activities and publications, the Society recognizes English, German, Italian, Latin, and Spanish as its official languages.
Membership in the Society is open to all individuals who subscribe to its aims. Membership includes receiving the Society's journal, Rhetorica, as well as its semi-annual, Rhetoric Newsletter.

Language holds a dual identity: it is both an art as well as a science, with each word expressing a unique meaning. And when words are arranged with specific purpose to persuade, or to communicate ideologies, language acquires yet another facet of identity--that of rhetoric.
Rhetorica, published quarterly for the International Society for the History of Rhetoric, includes articles, book reviews and bibliographies that examine the theory and practice of rhetoric in all periods and languages and their relationship with poetics, philosophy, religion and law. The official languages of the Society, and of the journal, are English, French, German, Italian, Latin, and Spanish, with articles and features corresponding.
If you crave complete grasp of, or are merely fascinated by, the power and politics of oration, each page of Rhetorica will fulfill.
