Section Title:
Rhetoric & Neurodiversity
Section Info:
Topic Section R: Rhetoric and Neurodiversity This course will look at the intersections of rhetoric and neurodiversity. The notion of rhetorical agency has long been predicated on the rational subject, the “good man speaking well” as Quintillian put it. Lately, however, scholars across several disciplines—but chiefly from disability studies—have begun to challenge such received notions of rhetorical agency. They speak from or about at states typically described as autistic, schizophrenic, or otherwise impaired, and reimagine rhetorical possibilities and definitions. In the process they put rhetorical theory under the microscope as well, examining it for its embrace of ableism, sanism, and an idealized normativity. The works we will read in this class will draw from disability activists and scholars who conduct a radical reframing of rhetoric. These will include, but not be limited to, work by: Jenell Johnson; Margaret Price; Melanie Yergeau; Elyn Saks; Elizabeth Donaldson; Oliver Saks, Michel Foucault; Mel Baggs; Kay Redfield Jamison, and Catherine Prendergast.
