Course description:

Popular Culture and Media (III year of primary studies)

Academic Writing (I year of primary studies)

Rhetoric and Stylistics (I year of primary studies)
The course where students acquaint with the meaning of the notions of rhetoric and stylistics, historical development and mutual relationship of these disciplines, as well as with their meaning in today’s culture. The programme involves familiarizing with new notions, concepts and strategies of rhetoric and stylistics during history of development of rhetoric from antiquity to nowadays, with special reference to the consequences brought by separation of stylistics, as a discipline to itself, and rhetoric. Students will be acquainted with the texts of the most important theorists and practicians of antique oration like Aristotle, Cicero, Quintilian etc. as well as with the texts of structuralist and poststructuralist theorists of language and literature (Jakobson, Genette, Paul de Man…) that have in the second part of XX veka revived the interest for rhetoric and stylistics, reaffirming and redefining them, and underscoring their exceptional importance both in traditional and contemporary culture.

Students should learn new notions, strategies and concepts of rhetoric and stylistics in relation to composition and argumentation of public speech (or text written with intention of bringing it to the public). Through a series of oral presentations and written exercises students should, also, take a hold of practical skills inherent to contemporary art of oration and a successful realization of different forms of “public performance” in the specific context of today’s media culture.

Concepts of Authorship and Media (III year of primary studies)
Within this course students will learn about theories on concept of authorship as a symbolic-social agreement, as well as with new concepts of authorship in the society of mass media. Students will acquaint with the basic ideas of representatives of Frankfurt school, poststructuralist and postmodernist concepts of “Death of the Author”, as well as with new theories on virtual identity of author and hypertext, and concepts of authorship in context of postcolonial and gender studies, since these very concepts in a new way reflect the concepts of authorship in contemporary artistic and discursive practices.

Student should master basic notions, theories and concepts that will enable them to analyze independently and critically constitutions of author’s identity and concept in the context of public media discourse, and thus perceive the space of structuring and consuming of media message as intricately manifold and provocative from the author’s point of view. Students should become able to autopoeticaly formulate the way of constituting their own potential creative concept in that area.
