  • ENG 618 - Public Digital Rhetorics


    Credits: 3

    This course examines relationships between selected digital rhetorics, their professional and social applications, their theoretical foundations, and their effects on our everyday lives. Our shift from primarily print-based, textual media to primarily electronic, verbal-visual hybrids signals changes underlying our culture and expansions of how we innovate and recreate that surpass mere technological advances. Composing and engaging with digital rhetorics comprises an increasing portion of our public and private lives.  Public digital rhetorics reconceptualize notions of what constitutes authority and authorship and what defines audience / readership, contests public and private boundaries, and revises hierarchical, linear, monologic patterns of thinking. 

    Composing, reading, and interacting with blogs, vlogs, fanzines, newsgroups, homepages, informational and literary hypertexts, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter feeds, and wikis changes not only how we communicate and relate with people, but also how we think.  

    Prerequisite(s): Admission to MAE program or consent of instructor and director of MAE
