Traditionally,
the discipline of rhetoric focused on the effectiveness of the spoken or
written word as it is driven by the rhetorical situation (audience, purpose,
and context). Over the last several decades, persuasive media have expanded
well beyond the conventional spoken and written message. The increasing
pervasiveness of film, video, TV, and the Internet in world culture has expanded
the mission of rhetorical studies. To reflect these advances in technology and
understanding, we now focus on the uses of language and image to characterize
social reality, to debate and confront controversies, and to aid in the
transformation of
social institutions. Accordingly, the department of rhetoric and film studies
is a multidisciplinary program that enriches understanding of the complexity of
contemporary communication by providing a solid grounding in the theory,
history, production, interpretation, and criticism of a wide variety of
written, oral, visual, and filmic texts.
Rhetoric
and film studies courses satisfy humanities distribution requirements
(language, writing, and rhetoric in the previous distribution requirements)
except: Rhetoric and Film Studies 110, 160, 250 and 360 meet fine arts
distribution requirements. Rhetoric and Film Studies 240 and 340 may count
toward the alternative voices distribution requirement. Rhetoric and Film
Studies 121, 221, and 222 do not count as distribution requirements and may not
be taken P-D-F.
The
Rhetoric and Film Studies major: A minimum of thirty-four
credits in rhetoric and film studies, including the following: Rhetoric and
Film Studies 160 Introduction to Film Studies. One additional film
course (365, 366, 367, 368). One
rhetoric course (240, 250, 340, 350, 351, 352, 371, 378). Rhetoric and Film Studies 487 Rhetoric and Film Criticism.
Either 491 or 498. Additional work in rhetoric and
film studies to make a total of thirty-four credits. Students may substitute up
to eight of the elective credits with approved rhetoric and film courses (e.g.,
transfer credits, and/or credits from other Whitman departments). Students may
not count more than four credits of 121, 221, or 222 toward the major.
The
Rhetoric and Film Studies minor: A minimum of twenty rhetoric
and film studies credits, with at least four credits from the Rhetoric area and
four credits from the Film area. Students may substitute up to four of the
elective credits with approved rhetoric and film courses (e.g., transfer
credits, and/or credits from other Whitman departments). Students may not count
more than four credits of 121, 221, or 222 toward the minor.
