RHETORICS OF CONSUMPTION

Course Description

The course aims to address the role of rhetoric in our cultural texts and discourse around consumption. Of course, consumption can mean many things. At its most basic level, it refers to what we consume, what we devour and use, and what devours and uses us. We will practice writing both creative and critical texts to analyze and discuss these issues.
