The control and manipulation of information has long been an element of warfare. Digital rhetoric is a necessary and inescapable component in contemporary conflict. Drawing on scholars from rhetorical, media, military, communications, and visual studies, Rhet Ops explores the relationship of rhetorical strategies in the context of war, social unrest, protest movements, and asymmetrical conflicts by investigating how rhetoric and digital technologies are used by state and non-state actors in these conflicts. There is a growing range of ways digital rhetoric is weaponized. Military and other actors are using rhetorical tools in both tactics and strategy. It is necessary for the field of rhetorical studies to grapple with this reality and to highlight how the knowledge is used and what this use can teach the discipline.
