Learning unit contents
After an introduction to the history and current status of rhetoric and semiology in the area of Humanities, the course will focus on that specific topic: emotions in discourse.
This issue will be addressed primarily through Raphaël Micheli's Les Émotions dans les discours, which reading will be mandatory.
The course will end with different concrete case studies on literary and non-literary corpus. Students will have themselves to produce a case study on a freely chosen corpus. The concrete modalities of this work will be discussed and negociated at the beginning of the course.
As a preparation to the final examination, and on request from the students, the last session of the course will be dedicated to the topic of verbal interactions.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
By the end of the course, students will be able to :
- know the main historical and conceptual steps of the development of rhetoric and semiology among Humanities and literary studies;
- know and locate the main theories of ethos;
- read and discuss a hard theoretical piece of work;
- produce an original and sharp case study on a literary or non-literary cultural production;
- deal with a verbal interaction such as an oral examination at the university.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Students should have studied linguistics or semiotics in some form, prior to taking this course. The instructor will frequently refer to aspects of teaching points in semiotics or linguistics that he articulated during the first cycle.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course will at first consist in a series of lectures, and then the instructor will make assignments to students for seminar-type presentations.
