This course is designed to introduce students to the theoretical traditions of this art of persuasion and its transmission from classical to contemporary times. We will test theory against practice as we examine multiple modes of expression in oral, print, and electronic cultures. Emphasis will be placed on exploring the effects of rhetorical action and interaction on the lives of communities, along with analyzing the dynamics of evolving social and structural concepts of author, audience, purpose, and genre-ranging from classical orations to personal essays to hypertext webs. Students will have an opportunity to experiment with as well as study genres of interest to them. This course is required of English master's students in the new concentration: writing, rhetoric, and media arts. 1.00 units, Seminar
