From the perspective of communication studies, "criticism" is an essential concept that refers to the interpretive work of analyzing and evaluating the publicly addressed messages that humans produce and consume. In this class, we will explore the history and development of the practice and methods of interpreting human communicative acts, a process known as communication criticism or rhetorical criticism. Students will be introduced to and learn multiple modes of criticism, from neo-Aristotelian to feminist, and practice applying those frameworks to selected communicative texts and rhetorical artifacts.
