um documento na área da Retórica
a document on Rhetoric


Explanation:
I would keep it simply as such. In the field of or area is implied. If you prefer to keep that, in the field or in the area are equally fine.

There is also the possibility that you are referring to the field of Rhetorics. In this case, you would say \"a document in the field of Rhetorics and perhaps this is what would suit the situation best.

I think there is sufficient reference to \"document\" to keep that as part of the term if appropriate, i.e., I don\'t think there is sufficient context given above to determine form of written material the asker refers to (beyond the use of the word document in the source text.) Just a thought. : )
