COMS 7340 - Narrative Approaches to Rhetorical Criticism
This rhetorical methods class explores narrative approaches to rhetorical criticism. “Narrative” is construed broadly to encompass methods that view rhetorical transactions as dramatic events or as story-telling. Examples of narrative approaches to rhetorical criticism include Kenneth Burke’s dramatistic approach, Ernest Bormann’s rhetorical vision/fantasy theme analysis, or Walter Fisher’s narrative perspective. These approaches tend to construe rhetorical discourse as involving heroes/villains (protagonist/antagonist), conflict, and events (a plot).
