Paper #2 Rhetorical Critique of Public Communication Artifact (20%)

In this paper you criticize an artifact using one of the methods discussed in class, other than the Neo-Aristotelian method (don’t just analyze ethos, pathos, logos, etc.). YOU CANNOT USE A NEO-ARISTOTELIAN METHOD FOR THIS PAPER. You may choose any artifact, provided it has a significant message and is in the public sphere, and that is demonstrably persuasive. Points to consider:

1) Choose any artifact that is a persuasive message and is a public communication. It should have a significant message, be a complete artifact (not a partial clip or portion), and be in the public sphere (not private or personal communication). It can be a speech (like Paper 1), but can also be a film, ad, book, video, song, poster, flyer, e-zine, website, etc.

2) Explain the context of the message, the method or concepts you will use, and why. The background or context for the message should give an understanding of why this is an important or significant message. What is the specific background, or the “spirit of the times” in which this message is created

3) Include a research question which you are seeking to answer through this analysis, or at least a clearly identifiable central thesis or point in the overall critical perspective. Italicize this research question or thesis.

4) Analyze the message in light of a specific methodology (dramatism, narrative, ideology, genre, etc.). Avoid using a “laundry list” of theoretical ideas. Develop ideas in some depth. Support your arguments with clear examples from your artifact. Remember to let your artifact guide you in choosing the appropriate way to illuminate its characteristics. You may use concepts from a couple of different methods (i.e. narrative and feminism), but make sure one method is the primary emphasis for analysis.

5) Provide a section tying things together in some way. This should be more than just concluding remarks, rather, it should answer the “so what” question. That is, what do you gain from doing this kind of criticism; what do you learn about the message which, in turn, can contribute to further knowledge or social awareness

6) New: You MUST PROVIDE AT LEAST FIVE (5) REFERENCES WHICH ARE USED IN THE PAPER, CITED USING PROPER FORM, AND REPRESENTED IN A FINAL SECTION OF REFERENCES OR BIBLIOGRAPHY. You can use sources to develop your theoretical position, to give background to the issue, or to comment on the artifact. Your artifact itself counts as a reference AND MUST BE CITED.

7) You should include the URL to access the artifact online or provide a clear description of your artifact to your instructor. Consult with the instructor if this is a problem.

8) Attach an OVERVIEW OUTLINE of your paper at the front of the paper.

9) NEW: Provide an ABSTRACT (50-75 words) on the title page or before the outline that summarizes what your paper is about.

10) 6-8 pages TYPED, double-spaced, 12-point font, 1″ margins (Page length does NOT include the outline, abstract, title page, or bibliography).

11) ALL IN ONE FILE, PLEASE.
