ENGL/WRIT 2220 Writing to Influence: Introduction to Rhetorical Persuasion / half unit
Winter term
Tuesday and Thursday 10:30-11:45
Dr. Nathaniel Street
Fall term 18F
Tuesday 6:00 – 7:15.
Synchronous online.
Pre-requisite: WRIT 1120 or five units of university study.
If you are taking this course in the Writing Minor, you are recommended to complete WRIT 1120 first.
This class will take Aristotle’s definition of rhetoric as “an ability, in each case, to see the available means of persuasion” as a starting point for theorizing and practicing the persuasive power of writing. We will study rhetorical concepts and techniques — such as invention, kairos, ethos, stasis, and topoi — for discovering, creating, and analyzing rhetorical argument. Students will do this by learning the theory and history of these concepts, practice using them to analyze the rhetorical power of example texts, and mobilize them in their own writing. This work will culminate in a semester-long research project written for a popular audience in the spirit of essays written for publications like The Walrus, The Atlantic, or The New Yorker.

ENGL /WRIT 2223-18W: History of Writing, Reading, and the Book / half unit
Fall term
Wednesday 6:00 – 7:15. Synchronous online
Instructor: Dr. Anna Smol
Book history is an interdisciplinary field that opens up many avenues of study. In this course our topics will range from literary and rhetorical analysis to historical and cultural research. We will study the book as a material object, from scroll to codex to digital text, as we review the development of various writing systems in manuscript and print culture from antiquity to the contemporary era, setting Western developments in a global context. We will discuss the social, political, and economic factors at play in constituting readers, authors, patrons, scribes, libraries, and publishers in different eras, including contemporary developments in digital writing and publishing. We’ll examine the book’s relation to power in discussions of censorship, sacred texts, and the revolutionary power of books. We’ll consider the nature of oral traditions and their interaction with written literacies. Course readings will alternate between non-fiction (in theoretical and historical articles) and fiction (People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks, short stories by Thomas King, and Fangirl, a young adult novel by Rainbow Rowell). The course will offer options for creative projects and exercises. This course schedules discussion forum posts, a Collaborate session, and individual written responses as a regular part of the coursework each week on Moodle. For more details about the course, see http://annasmol.net/teaching/englwrit2223.
This course may also count as a 0.5 elective in the Cultural Studies program.
ENGL / WRIT/ PHIL 2225: Tricksters, Liars, and Sophists: The History of Rhetoric /half unit
Fall term
Tuesday and Thursday 1:30 – 2:45
Instructor: Dr. Nathaniel Street
This course focuses on the history of the rhetorical tradition in the West from ancient Greece through the Renaissance. We will survey major and marginalized works on rhetoric from a variety of perspectives, including some that are (ostensibly) hostile to rhetoric. The class will study rhetoric as a historical phenomenon that gives insight into its contemporary place and read course texts as live interlocutors that may change and/or enrich how we theorize and practice rhetoric in the present. Additionally, the course will offer counter-histories of more established traditions that emphasize the role of women in rhetorical scholarship and practice, question the supposed “disappearance” of rhetoric after the fall of the Roman republic, and interrogate the ever-change relationship between rhetoric and the practice of invention.
ENGL/WRIT 3221: Creative Non-Fiction Writing / half unit
Winter term
Tuesday and Thursday 1:30 – 2:45
Instructor: Dr. Nathaniel Street
The ancient Greeks commonly combined rhetorical instruction with athletic and musical training (the aulus and lyre players would keep a beat so that students could literally stay in rhythm with each other). This educational strategy deliberately weaves bodily movement, sensation, voice, and mind. This may seem strange to us today because the Greeks, unlike us moderns, were hesitant to make any strong division between the mind and the body. It made sense for them to train the brain like it was a muscle and the body like it had an intellect. For these reasons, ancient rhetorical training was primarily driven by exercises, especially imitation, repetition, and adaptation. When written, these exercises were called the progymnasmata, which included fables, maxims, ekphrasis (vivid descriptions that entice the senses), encomiums and invectives (speeches of praise and blame), and personification. The purpose of these exercises wasn’t so much to teach these specific genres of writing, but to train aspiring rhetors in a wide range of rhetorical moves and techniques (in the same way one would teach bodily moves and techniques); and, more importantly, to develop an agility in using those moves so that students would be comfortable mobilizing them when the situation called for them.
In keeping with, and relying on, the tradition of the progymnasmata, this course is aimed at developing your rhetorical facility with creative nonfiction writing, especially in the areas of style, invention, and arrangement. The course will be driven by workshops and, especially, writing exercises that will help you learn how to make a wide range of stylistic moves and train you to adapt those moves based on the specific needs of your writing situation. This will involve a lot of writing; but we will practice writing as an embodied and spatial act. We’ll write in response to objects, visual-art, and music. We’ll not only write a variety of genres, but mediums as well. Assignments will be of two kinds: 1) a series of classic progymnasmata assignments that will be drafted and refined for submission and 2) a series of short, generally in-class, writing exercises. Taking this class will help you cultivate habits of writing that will carry over to all arenas of life where writing is important, including academic, personal, and professional arenas.
Offered by the Mount’s Department of English, the Writing Minor is for those who want to explore the theory and practice of writing in a more intensive way than is possible in other courses. Our Writing Minor is distinctive from other writing programs in that it covers communication in many forms; you can explore creative writing, editing, researching in the digital age, the business of publishing, classical rhetoric, scientific writing, and contemporary theories about composition. The Writing Minor will make you a strong and flexible writer.
Excellent communication skills are among the top priorities of most employers. Those who can write well are able to discover, articulate, organize, and present clearly and effectively their own as well as other people’s ideas. Those who can write well are always in demand and always valued, no matter where they exercise their craft.
The Writing Minor is a credential that demonstrates to employers that you have developed communication skills that can be transferred to any workplace. Graduates of our Writing courses work in a variety of jobs related to their Major field of study that require excellent written communication skills, but more specifically, some of our students now work in writing and publishing fields as editors, publicists, and communication officers. Other students who developed their creative writing through advanced courses in the program have gone on to publish their work — and even win awards for it!
WRIT courses are either a half unit (0.5) or a full unit (1.0) of credit. WRIT 1120 is a required course for the Writing Minor (or it can be taken as an elective in any program).
In addition to WRIT 1120, the Writing Minor requires 2.5 units at the 2000 level or above, taken from the following:
The above courses can also be taken as electives, as long as the pre-requisites are met.
