SPCM 226 - Rhetorical Theory
Once a year
This course explores traditional forms and function of rhetorical as persuasion
in public address as well as contemporary theories of symbolic communication.
A broad survey of rhetorical theory, from classical to 20th century, reviews rhetorical
functions such as argumentative, critical inquiry, informative discourse, and
epistemic formation. This course focuses primarily on the western rhetorical tradition,
although attention is given to the contributions of nonwestern and nonpatriarchal
cultures to contemporary theories. The course exposes students to significant
theories for analyzing and constructing a variety of forms of public discourse.
