| Description: | RHE 270-01: Digital Rhetoric + The Digital Humanities: Information, Media, Futures "Digital" possesses an expansive definition. It means, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, everything from "a whole number less than 10" to "any of the fingers . of the hand" to "technologies [of] media . television . and audio." In its many grammatical guises "digital" is, all at once, a noun, an adjective, and a verb. We have digits, we use digital things, and we digitize. This course will work to chart the rhetorical expansiveness embedded within our understandings and use of all things digital. In particular, we will work to unpack recent scholarship on "digital rhetoric." We will also explore the recent advent of the "digital humanities" as a field of academic inquiry. Similarly, this course will dwell with the communicative potentials and pitfalls of "information" and "media" as they relate to and make possible our understandings of the digital. Finally, the course will conclude by projecting toward and prognosticating about the "futures" of digitality and the rhetoric(s) therein: including case studies on social media, space exploration, biotechnology, linguistics, and translation.
