Introduction
In 1996, Argumentation and Advocacy published a groundbreaking
issue devoted to visual argument. It was the first collection of essays
on the subject. Twenty years later, we consider some of the doubts
about the possibility of visual argument that were discussed in that
first issue. We argue that these doubts have been answered by the
last 20 years of research on visual argument, and we look at some
of the key theoretical and applied issues that characterize this bur-
geoning subfield in the study of argument
This is how Leo Groarke, Catherine Palczewski and David Godden
introduce a special, double issue of the journal Argumentation and Advocacy,
dedicated to twenty years of “visual argumentation” (from now on abbrevi-
ated as VA).2 In fact, in these past twenty years the research on visual argu-
mentation started to burgeon with authors like Groarke, Gilbert, Kjeldsen,
Roque, Dove, Godden and others,3 who mostly took “visual argumentation”
1 Parts of this article were presented at the European Conferences on Argumentation
in Lisbon (2015) and Fribourg (2017), and in parts appeared in the proceedings of
these conferences (Žagar 2016; 2018).
