INT 185 AP
Advanced Public Speaking
4 units
Instructor: Jodi Enders
Tuesday and Thursday 11:00 AM – 12:45 PM
Prerequisite: THTR 65 (Introduction to Public Speaking) or equivalent
Required text: Jay Heinrichs, Thank You for Arguing
Recommended: Richard Lanham, Handlist of Rhetorical Terms
In these days of economic instability, one thing never goes out of style nor does it lose its power: the ability to communicate effectively.
Focused on oratory and its many rhetorics, Advanced Public Speaking is the first follow-up course to the very popular THTR 65; it is taught by the same professor who created that course. Since seminar participants—limited to 15 only—are already familiar with the history and theory of rhetoric as well as with discourse analysis, our primary focus in the seminar is practical work in public speaking and advocacy, with extensive feedback from both the professor and the class.
In addition to weekly speaking opportunities of varying duration, the main class project (which may be collaborative) will be at your own initiative. In consultation, you will propose a project that involves public speaking: for example, advocacy or community work, motivational speaking engagements, political speaking, etc., so long as you are committed to effecting change through oratory. Your individual role in such social issues as domestic violence, the justice system, the California budget crisis, health care, and the like is crucial; and the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center (which is hosting our course) has many connections to local non-profit organizations as well.
On the first day: Please be prepared to present a speech of no more than 2 minutes. N.B. It is possible that you will be asked to “audition” for this course

INT185MX/201MX
Social Technologies: new models of value exchange
2 units
Instructor: Marko Peljhan
Short Description: This is an intensive, low-residency course with at least one meeting taking place over 3-4 days at UC Santa Barbara. Throughout history, artists have created new forms of collective practice that enable them to work and operate in the most difficult and challenging economic and societal conditions. From the historical avant-gardes to their work in current open source/open knowledge systems, artists have created participatory practices based on new models of evaluating production and capital. Current economic conditions have precipitated a re-emergence of such forms of collectivism, exchange and ‘anticipatory’ practices, i.e. those that seek to imagine and address possible future economic and social modalities. This course will establish opportunities for students from across the UC system to explore new methods of value and idea exchange necessary to navigate a rapidly evolving 21st century environment. Visiting artists may include members of the Journal of Aesthetics and Protest (Los Angeles), Chto Delat (St. Petersburg) and the arts-centered, community organizing project, AREA of Chicago. For more information, please contact zchapman@ucira.ucsb.edu.

Ancient Borderlands
Instructor: Elizabeth Digeser, Christine Thomas
TBA
This course is affiliated with the Ancient Borderlands Research Focus Group. The Ancient Borderlands Research Focus Group unites UCSB faculty and graduate students with common research interests in the history of Mediterranean antiquity, broadly conceived. We are investigating the process by which groups define, create and maintain their identities over time. The creation of boundaries, among ethnic, political, or religious groups, is a dynamic activity that can be reflected, not only by changes in material culture, but also in the rhetorical strategies adopted by ancient authors and the political tactics pursued by those seeking power. As members of several departments, including Classics, History and Religious Studies, we are also interested in challenging the disciplinary boundaries between us, believing that we have much to learn from one another.
