  • WRI 345: RHETORIC DEMOCRACY ADVOC.

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    The connection between rhetoric and democracy is an old one dating back to the origins of both concepts in Western traditions. Simply put rhetoric the skilled use of argument and persuasive discourse and democracy were seen as ways to replace violence as the primary means of governing and maintaining social order. However, the connections between democracy and rhetoric may not be immediately apparent indeed the two may appear to be in opposition in contemporary society. This course argues that the intimate connections between rhetoric and democracy are critical to retain and reclaim for the health of democratic society and culture. In the era of globalization and digital media these connections are even more important. A healthy democracy requires citizen advocates who are skilled in the analysis of public discourse as well as in the production of persuasive texts.

  • WRI 347: ACT WRITING MEDIA: DEM FUTURES

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    The early twenty-first century has seen an explosion in the development, repurposing, and critical use of new media by political activists. Unlike theoretical debates regarding the relative merits of new media compared to more traditional media or the vigorous business interest in 'web 2.0' for its marketing possibilities, activists have approached new media in a rhetorical fashion. For activists, new media are part of the 'available means' with which political organizing and campaigning take place. This course explores the multiple and complex ways in which activists have made use of and rewritten what counts as media, who counts as an authorized writer, and even what counts as writing. The course will investigate examples of activist campaigns, emergent theories of literacy, and the role of literacy training for the development of activists and how this is often at odds with the literacy instruction students receive in secondary and post-secondary schooling.
