| Description: | This course will take Kenneth Burke as an exemplary figure in the genesis of rhetoric, composition, communication, cultural studies, and literary theory in the twentieth century. The focus will be on Burke's continuing relevance for our understanding of key rhetorical principles (identification, context, terministic screens), of emergent subjects in the field (visual rhetoric, complexity theory, cultural studies), and of the relationships between rhetoric, composition, new media, and literary theory. Course readings will include primary Burkeian texts (some of which are newly published) and secondary work by contemporary rhetoricians and theorists. Coursework will include regular responses to the readings and a major print or multimedia project. |
