Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

MLS - Master of Lib Studies

Description:

Examines how the triumph of beliefs dominated by imagination over beliefs dominated by science is changing our understanding of ourselves. Rhetorically analyzes science fiction/fantasy (the literature combining science and imagination) for insights into the shift in commonplace assumptions about reality which characterize modern and post-modern world views. Assump- tions about the relationship between psychology and art are criticized for their influence on Western consciousness and our understanding of communication. Covers the rhetorical- communication theories of Bacon, Ramus, Burke, Perelman, Ong and Hudson.
