PWR 2RL: Writing & Rhetoric 2: The Rhetoric of the Natural and Beyond
This class will consider, through a rhetorical lens, how "natural" is understood and/or modified: how it interfaces with social norms and other notions like safety and authenticity, and how the varying rhetorical strategies and situations at hand animate different negotiations of power. Topics may range from literary (e.g. magic realism and the fantastic) to social (our growing proximity and intimacy with tech devices) to medical (homeopathy or bionic implants and prosthesis).
