| Poroi is an online peer-reviewed journal for scholarship attuned to rhetoric in inquiry and culture. Click here to read the current issue. Poroi is sponsored by the Project on Rhetoric of Inquiry and published electronically by the University of Iowa Libraries. Scholarly articles in Poroi emphasize rhetorical analysis and invention in all fields of learning, and they address interdisciplinary audiences. As an electronic journal, Poroi is more flexible than paper journals about its lengths, forms, and publication schedules. It appears several times a year, as submissions warrant, and it publishes single articles as well as special symposia or issues catalyzed by guest editors. Authors retain copyrights, releasing their works for publication in the journal. There are no fees for submission or subscription. Inventive inquiry and good writing are Poroi mainstays. To complement its conventional scholarship, Poroi encourages new practices of inquiry. These appear in regular articles and a distinctive set of occasional features: A Conspectus from the editor introduces the contributions in each issue, through reflections and provocations that spring from individual articles. Film Takes examine the rhetorics of movies or genres of cinema, to explain how they shape experiences and make meanings. Multimedia Inquiries experiment with scholarship in media beyond print, using online publication to augment words with sights and sounds. Myth Scapes analyze familiar objects to disclose the myths that they embody or enact in our everyday lives or learned professions. Rhetorical Inventions explore rhetorical topics in terms more personal and forms more innovative than usual for scholarship. Strategy Studies assess the rhetorical visions, devices, and tactics in specific performances or entire campaigns in culture, inquiry, or politics. Word Tours trace telling connections of meaning among concepts crucial for our cultures, inquiries, and politics. Poroi publishes its contributions by issue, but it also provides alphabetical rosters of its authors and articles. Access these through the links in the left column to all issues, contributions, and contributors. Additional links on the left offer further information about the journal’s editors and features. Then the last two links on the left specify how to submit articles to Poroi and how to subscribe at no cost to get announcements for new issues. |
