English 3010: Documenting Your World
This course could also be called “Experimental Rhetorical Research,” since we will be writing and thinking about topics that have never been charted before (at least not in the precise ways they’ll be addressed by you). This is an advanced writing course that focuses on the methods, creative possibilities, and rhetorical insights of documentary genres.
Each student will be responsible for creating a unique project that documents a specific aspect of life in Columbia, Missouri. Places are complex layers of events, bodies, stories, images, happenings, legends, and relations. As a documentary writer, you will track some of these complexities that have remained undercover for too long. Moreover, you will not just make the “strange” more familiar; you will actually make the “familiar” a bit more strange.
