Editors: Derek Mueller, Lauren Garskie, Jason Tham<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n A fishbowl-styled session at the 2018 RSA Conference in Minneapolis, MN, organized by Trent Kays, convened around a collective concern for what its title posed as \u201cThe States and Futures of Digital Rhetorics.\u201d Panelists and the participation-willing among attendees offered and also troubled a range of definitions and premises, some cast onto futuristic horizons, some rooted in the consequences of wide ranging digital practices (and dependencies), some situated in specific problem-solution frameworks, local cases in which digital rhetorics present vividly a reconstituted social fabric or fractious communication practice. In addition to or as a result of these assemblages on digital rhetoric, definitional updates to digital rhetorics have also circulated recently. For example, Casey Boyle, James Brown, and Steph Ceraso’s May 2018 RSQ<\/i> article, \u201cThe Digital: Rhetoric Behind and Beyond the Screen<\/a>\u201d re-theorizes the expanding everyday reach of digital rhetorics. Related scholarly treatments have appeared in the 2018 special issue of Present Tense<\/i> (Volume 6, Issue 3)<\/a>, edited by Dustin Edwards and Bridget Gelms, on rhetorics of platforms, as well as in Enculturation<\/i>‘s 2016 special issue (Volume 23)<\/a>, edited by Scott Barnett and Justin Hodgson, \u201cPerspectives and Definitions of Digital Rhetoric.\u201d<\/p>\n As a continuation of this surge of recent attention to digital rhetorics, and recalling the DRC\u2019s first blog carnival in 2012, What Does Digital Rhetoric Mean to Me<\/a>, we invite contributions to this 14th DRC Blog Carnival. We seek blog entries that attempt any of the following: connections and responses, deep(ened) definitions, slices of digital-rhetorical activity, accounts of wicked problems, speculative riffs, pragmatic roundabouts, and intersectional reorientations.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re interested in contributing to this blog carnival, please submit your name, email, and short (about 100 words) proposal to this Google Form<\/a>.<\/p>\n We will be reviewing and accepting proposals throughout August, so please send your descriptions as soon as possible, but no later than August 25<\/strong>. Full blog posts will be due approximately two weeks after your 100-word proposal is accepted. When completed, the blog post should be about 750-1000 words, but we do have some flexibility as we\u2019re a on a digital platform. We encourage posts in a variety of forms and any medium appropriate for featuring digitally on the DRC, such as text, audio, and visual or other multimedia.<\/p>\n![\"Blog](\"http:\/\/www.digitalrhetoriccollaborative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-28-at-5.02.47-PM.png\")
