About this course
This course explores the ways that images function as persuasive communication. Students will learn tools for analyzing historical and contemporary visual forms such as photographs, advertisements, memes, and graphics. We will study how visual images perform rhetorical actions such as informing, deliberating, governing, authorizing, contesting, commodifying, consuming, and others.
