Formelle forudsætninger:This course will be particularly relevant to students who have some prior training in general communication studies, i.e. have followed one or both of the courses "Media and Communication" and "Communication at the Net".
 
Læringsmål:Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to:

1) Demonstrate an understanding of rhetorical theories and critical approaches to digital communication.

2) Employ and apply rhetorical strategies in a variety of digital discourse contexts.

3) Construct guidelines for their learning that will become rhetorical methodologies they may adopt for future work-related, or scholarly, projects.

4) Conceive and conduct a research project through which they engage a rhetorical issue, design and document the issue using digital rhetorics, and trace a trajectory for further research.

 
Fagligt indhold:This course covers a wide range of topics concerned with rhetoric and writing in digital environments. It is designed specifically to address forms of expression (written and visual) and interpretation (reading protocols) with emphasis on critical analysis of various discourses and discourse communities (and disciplines) in which rhetoric is central in the age of information technologies. In addition, we will examine the rhetorical culture of digital spaces (i.e., what is means to be 'digital,' to write hypertextually, to become hybrids). Our aim in this course is to apply pressure to the contested relations operating at crucial intersections where rhetoric, digital writing and culture e-merge.

Potential topics include: classical-to-digital rhetorical invention, visual rhetorics, rhetoric and design/style, digital ethos, rhetoric of game walk-throughs, aesthetic reasoning, rhetoric and cheats/hacks, virtual reality rhetorics, shock design, stealth grammar, blogging; and other venues for, and genres of, digital rhetorics.
