EN 241 - Western Classical Traditions: Literature, Rhetoric & Culture
Credit(s): 3
Using a decolonizing approach, this course examines the role of poetic and rhetoric in ancient societies, both oral and literate. Focusing on the tension between oral traditions and the emergence of a radical new technology (techne) called” writing,” the course engages students in close readings of ancient primary texts such as Homeric hymns and epics, ancient dramas & myths, Sappho’s love poems, Aristotle’s Rhetoric and Poetics, & Plato’s Phaedrus.
