SPCM 059 - Rhetoric and Popular CultureSemester Hours: 3
Once a Year
This course studies the various influences and consequences of language-use in popular culture. Starting from Stuart Hall’s notion of popular culture as a “site of struggle and contestation,” this class studies the rhetorical struggles or communicative negotiations that influence everyday messages in a visual, oral and written form. This class employs rhetorical theory and cultural criticism to analyze and critique communicative messages within various popular texts (e.g., magazines, TV shows, and newspapers). Topics covered will differ by semester and may include sports, music, fashion, TV shows, and advertising.
