Latin American Rhetoric.

Catalog description

This course combines historical and rhetorical perspectives to examine the development of Latin American public culture. Studying different types of public discourse that combine intellectual sophistication with literary merit(including speeches, essays, poetry, and art), will illuminate how a unique public culture developed in Latin America, born from the roots of European and indigenous traditions. As we analyze these texts, we will examine what contributions their authors make to the field of rhetoric and rhetorical theory.
