Visual Rhetoric

This course focuses on articulating rhetorical opportunities present in the visual turn; the role of perceptual processes, time, movement, and memory in the act of seeing; the interanimation of the verbal and the visual in representation; the circumstances of visual culture and art; visual communication in print and on the Web; and identification as a visual/rhetorical process. Is there potential to create critical verbo-visual literacy? The course explores what such definitions of literacy mean for communication, argumentation, persuasion and narration.

Visual Rhetoric in a Technological Age

This course participates in constructing visual rhetoric for composition studies and computers and composition studies. There are few models for the graduate study of visual rhetoric, and certainly there are not canonical issues or figures in this area. Instead there is the growing realizing that written discourse increasingly involves visual dimensions that are influenced (and sometime controlled) by the composer(s). Nowhere is this understanding more concretely rendered than in areas that depend on technology. In a real sense, technology has pushed us to see visual dimensions of meaning as falling under our influence. Of course, that influence can only be exercised via know-how.

Visual Texts and Technologies: Situating the Visual in Technoculture

In Western culture, we now understand that visual representations influence our thinking, but we don’t always fully comprehend the extent of that influence, nor do we understand precisely how that influence is exercised. In this course, we will gain a fuller understanding of the influence of the visual on meaning, by thinking with, about, and through the visual.
