ENGW 254 - Foundations of Communication & Rhetoric Theory II


A continuation of ENGW 253, beginning with a review of the ancient heritage of the art of rhetoric as well as some of the key questions and issues surrounding it. From the Enlightenment to the Twentieth Century rhetorical theories. The course examines rhetoric as a dimension of human communication, grounded in the oral tradition, and concerned with the pragmatics of symbol usage in actual, lived experience in relation to social, political, cultural, and technological changes. It also examines how rhetorical theory accounts for the redistribution of power and privilege among various groups.
