    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    Sonic Rhetorics is designed as both a survey in sound in the rhetorical tradition and as an introduction to sound studies (and sound production) in and across broader scholarly conversations. In the class, students study why sound mattered to pre-Socratic cultures, how and why it came into a kind of competition with sight as a prevailing sensory medium, and how these histories continue to play out today. As part of the class, students will listen to, make, and engage with sound in all its contemporary varieties: Podcasts, playlists, soundscapes, sound maps, concert halls, rock clubs, folksongs, field recordings, and foley stages. Podcasting, especially, makes for a central interest of the class and in lieu of traditional essays, students will produce several over the course of the semester.
