ENG 3503 - Rhetoric and Visual Literacy

Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): ENG 1020 or ENG 1021

Description: The course is a study on visual literacy and writing through the analysis of how text, through rhetoric, both cultivates and restricts the formation of power, identity, and community. Students analyze the material environment, such as film and new media, clothes, furniture, food, music, signage, tools, toys, and other objects, as rhetorical fields of persuasive appeals and how they influence, liberate, and constrain the formation of identity and community.
