Theme: Rhetoric + Bullshit
Short Description: Is bullshit the excess of our collective bowel, or the force that keeps it ?regular?? The stench of bullshit is near and clear, and we?re going to study it! In this online course, we will explore the role bullshit (taurascatics) plays in a ?democratic society? by analyzing its relationship to rhetoric; to do this, we will write, read, critique, reflect, and interact with a variety of ?texts? that explore a myriad of rhetorical situations and discursive formations -- ancient and modern, political and popular, fabricated and factual -- as a means for studying the excrement of our society. In short, this class will interrogate the shit that stains our collective un/conscious. Note: this is an online course, which means you will need a functional device(s) and stable internet access; the class will be primarily asynchronous, but requires your participation in weekly writing community appointments via Zoom.
Add deadline: June 30, 2023, at 5 pm.
