RPW 370W - Foundations of Rhetoric


3 credit(s) Writing Intensive
The aim of this course is to introduce key historical figures who made, and the current central scholars who are making, contributions to the study of rhetoric. We read primary texts selected from classical rhetoric, modern rhetoric, postmodern rhetoric, and alternative rhetoric(s). We define rhetoric in the traditional sense and study how this definition has changed to include contemporary problems of electronic texts and visual displays of information.
Prerequisite(s): WRT 210  or WRT 215W , or permission of instructor.
Laboratory fee.
