I plan to organize the course around two important and enduring social issues: the rhetoric of romantic love, and the rhetoric of public civic controversy. Both issues have been with us since the dawn of rhetorical theory in the dialogues of Plato. Both issues also will allow us to examine the two main strands of rhetorical inquiry, persuasive strategizing (or “rhetorica utens” in Aristotle’s system) and cultural socialization (or “rhetorica docens” for Aristotle). We will examine such questions as:
Why were rhetoric and romantic love linked for Plato, at the very beginning of rhetoric and the Western philosophic tradition? How do contemporary “self-help” relationship books rely on and extend traditional concepts of interpersonal rhetoric? How is romantic love culturally constructed by the symbol systems we inherit? How has the public arena for controversy and decision making, and the rhetorical strategies for influencing public policy, changed from the origin of rhetorical theory in 5 th century Athens? How might we describe contemporary public rhetoric, and strategize about it? In what ways can private citizens affect public policy? Teaching Method: We’ll split our weekly time between lecture/whole class discussion and small group inquiry based on our individual writing. Requirements: Weekly: prepared daily attendance; weekly declamation writing in response to readings During the semester: 20 pages of polished analytical prose, on rhetorical topics of the students’ choice, in one of three options: 3 papers (6-7 pages) due 1/5weeks; 2 papers (10 pages) due mid-term & final; 1 paper (20 pages) due at final Tentative Reading List: (The specific items will likely change, but the texts listed below give a sense of the scope.)

During the semester, we will take a literary journey around the world as we examine the way modernist writers recorded the global realities of the British Empire. Our readings will be in direct dialogues with one another so that we can examine “modernist aesthetics” in terms of a series of internal conflicts rather than just as a monolithic unified entity. We will start with two classics of British literature: James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Virgina Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway. After this, we will examine Britain’s relation to India through the reading of two novels: one by a British author and one by an Indian author. These two novels are E.
