PWR 2TSC: Writing & Rhetoric 2: All the Feels: The Rhetoric of Emotion
How can emotions be motivating, and what can invoke them? How do the systems and structures that we navigate daily create conditions for anxiety or panic, and how do such systems respond to it? How do we understand anger in relation to ideals and social action? How is suffering and pain understood and treated? What is happiness, and should it be the ultimate goal? To what extent can emotions be understood as social or inherently human phenomena? We will approach these questions from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, from cognitive science and social psychology to philosophy, communication and sociology.
