ENG 557 - DIGITAL RHETORIC & COMPOSITION

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

English

Description:

This course focuses on honing the analysis, production, and teaching of contemporary digital texts by going beyond longstanding academic conceptions rooted in the printed word alone. Specifically, the course examines why contemporary digital texts do not dovetail with previous Rhetorical and Composition frameworks and why emerging areas within Rhetoric and Composition such as visual rhetoric, digital writing, and multimodal style are vital in cultivating sophisticated, responsive methods of analysis and production. Students will familiarize themselves with issues surrounding creation, revision, and deployment of digital texts to better understand the complex rhetorics involved when arranging words, images, sounds, coding language, available designs, fonts, colors, and spaces to make new kinds of 21st century writing.
