Section Title:
Burke & Bakhtin
Section Info:
This course will explore the thought of two canonical mid-20th century thinkers, Kenneth Burke and Mikhail Bakhtin. Both addressed the furies of their era by developing ways to address multiplicity and diversity in the world. We'll read major works by these theorists, examine some of the secondary literature, and seek to understand both the ways in which they constituted their times and the ways that writers since have constituted them. We'll be particularly interested in their sustained efforts to understand the orchestration of language--the voices and structures percolating through linguistic acts. We'll be doing a significant amount of reading; the writing will respond to those texts.

Section Title:
Rhetoric, Democrary & Citizens
Section Info:
This class will seek to peel apart this longstanding relationship between rhetoric and democratic citizenship. The course will engage "democracy" and "citizenship" as objects of rhetorical and critical analysis. Questions to be explored include the so-called who, what, where, and how of citizenship--the substance, subjects, domain, and process of citizenship. We will use both theoretical and empirical work to explore these questions and to unpack the descriptive, normative, and critical potential of democratic citizenship.
