Description: This course emphasizes the study of historical and contemporary speech texts and other forms of public communication and surveys the major approaches in scholarly rhetorical criticism from ancient to contemporary times. The course will focus on learning and applying the methods to communication artifacts. Because rhetorical criticism is an interdisciplinary endeavor, the course will survey material from many fields. The goal of the course is to come away with basic knowledge of several approaches and detailed knowledge of at least one approach. A better understanding of the construction of public communication is an important outcome of the course.
