ourse Description and Objectives

DESCRIPTION

In Contemporary Rhetorical Theory, we will survey the key authors, concepts, issues, anddebates of contemporary rhetoric and place them in a practical context. The first half of thecourse will focus on the (arguably) five most important contemporary rhetoricians (Weaver,Richards, Burke, Toulmin, and Perelman), and the second part will concentrate on contemporaryrhetoric at work in culture through power relations, discourse, sexuality, race, media, advertising,and propaganda. Recognizing with Kenneth Burke “how overwhelmingly much of what we meanby ‘reality’ has been built for us through nothing but our symbol systems,” we will examinetheories of rhetoric to better understand the pervasiveness of rhetoric in our ways of knowing. Theclass will consist of lectures, presentations, discussion, and workshop exercises.

OBJECTIVES

In this course, you will learn to:

Explain key rhetoric theories and theorists of the 20th century.

Apply these theories to contemporary culture.

Compare these theories, individual theorists, and movements.

This online course was developed by Gordon Slethaug, with instructional design and multimediadevelopment support provided by the Centre for Extended Learning. Further media productionwas provided by Instructional Technologies and Multimedia Services.

GORDON SLETHAUG, PHD, MA, BA

BIOGRAPHY

I have taught at universities in Canada, China, Denmark, Hong Kong, and theUnited States, and draw from these experiences in my teaching and writing.

At the University of Waterloo (head of the English Department and AssociateDean of Graduate Programs in Arts) until 1995, I then taught at the Universityof Hong Kong (Director of American Studies and Lingnan Professor) from 1995 to 2008. From2004 to 2008, I was awarded a four-year grant from the Lingnan Foundation (Yale and New YorkCity) to bring team teaching, interdisciplinary methodology, American studies, and English-language instruction to the classroom at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou and to bridgeAmerican Studies activities and research between the University of Hong Kong and Sun Yat-senUniversity, and I have written widely on the faculty and student learning transformation thatoccurred as a result of this project. I remain an Honorary Professor in Arts at the University ofHong Kong.

From 2008 until 2012, I taught American culture and communication subjects at the University ofSouthern Denmark, where I had earlier been awarded a Senior Fulbright Professorship. Theseincluded: the History and Culture of New York City; the Road in American Culture; ContemporaryAmerican literature; Asian American Culture; International Teaching and Learning; InterculturalCommunications; Media and Communications; Identity, Culture, and Learning; HRM,Organizations and Communications; and Communications and Globalization.

My current teaching and writing at Waterloo focuses on American culture (especially filmadaptation), rhetoric, and issues of internationalization.
