| Course Section Number: | RHE-370-02 |
| Department: | Rhetoric |
| Description: | Over the last 30 years, rhetoric scholars have turned their attention to in situ rhetoric-rhetoric that happens in the moment. From major events like protests, concerts, live sports, or community gatherings to everyday places such as neighborhoods, museums and memorials, or commercial sites, their research strives to understand our lived, everyday rhetorical experiences. This class will engage with this disciplinary turn through rhetorical fieldwork, which focuses on how rhetoric and the study of rhetoric, through forms of power and resistance, influences how we create a more just and livable world for all. The central questions guiding this rhetorical fieldwork are: How are material/symbolic/embodied resources practiced, contested, and mobilized in these moments? And what influences and consequences does this have in shaping our social, political, and cultural worlds? Students will learn and critically consider the various methodological approaches to rhetorical fieldwork through facilitated discussions, site visits, multi-methodological mini-projects, and a final community-engaged research project. |
