Section Title:
Writing Rhetorical Histories
Section Info:
This seminar explores a research approach known as “rhetorical history.” We can think of rhetorical history in a number of ways: as the historical study of rhetorical events, the study of non-contemporary public address, the placing of rhetorical acts in their context, the reading of history as a series of rhetorical problems, or the study of rhetoric to reveal its connections to the history of ideas. The course has three parts. First, we will examine the role of history in rhetorical scholarship. Second, we will take up the role of archives and related methods in rhetorical research. Part Three functions like a workshop, where students in the class will research and write their own rhetorical history project proposals. This course is appropriate for any graduate student who is interested in exploring rhetorical/historical perspectives on research. Previous graduate-level coursework in rhetoric is recommended, but not required.
