Description
This course provides an overview of many ways that people have engaged in discourse that makes things matter, from ancient Athens to today’s modern society. Although rhetoric was originally concerned with the power of words to help people navigate their differences and make decisions whose outcomes could not be known in advance, today the study of rhetoric considers much more than words, including the power of images, bodies, brands, environments, social movements, politicians, and the whole range of media technologies that organize our lives.
