The South Atlantic Modern Language Association’s (SAMLA) focus this year is
Cultures, Contexts, Images, and Texts: Making Meaning in Print, Digital,
and Networked Worlds, and this Call for Papers invites submissions that
explore and examine the ways that images are used to make meaning in print
and online.

In keeping with the rhetorical focus of this session, we are interested in
papers that inquire how visual artifacts make meaning by persuading using
one or more of Aristotle’s appeals: ethos, logos, and/or pathos.

Papers may examine how visuals persuade in print, digital, and networked
worlds through moving images such as videos and movies, artwork, static
online or printed images, and video games.

The Visual Rhetoric session is a regular session of SAMLA, and we invite
submissions that engage with the theme of this year's conference as well as
engaging with other issues and topics that represent the field of visual
rhetoric.

Please send abstracts of 500 words or less to the session’s chair, Shawn
Apostel, sapostel at bellarmine.edu, no later than May 24, 2013, and include
with your abstract any audio / visual needs you have. All presenters must
be members of SAMLA at the time of presentation. Please be sure to include
your contact information and any other special needs you may have.

SAMLA will be held in Atlanta, GA on November 8-10, 2013. For more

Best regards,

Shawn
