The Rhetorical Analysis of Text and Discourse has become somewhat neglected in the field of text and discourse studies. The methodological and analytic ideas of Aristotle and Cicero, and many others, are most certainly still useful in the analysis of text and discourse. This seminar will introduce you to these methods and theories with a focus on how they can be applied in your own research.
This advanced seminar is designed for academics and graduate students with specialized knowledge in Language and Discourse Studies. Admissions will be limited to 25 scholars from around the world.
This seminar will be given by Professor Michael Burke (University College Roosevelt, Utrecht University, The Netherlands)
