Texts in Social Contexts
All texts occur in social contexts. They emerge from and affect their communities of practice. This course provides students with the conceptual tools needed to investigate both the textual (written, oral, visual) and social practices associated with professional communication. Using concepts from genre theory, rhetoric, linguistics and semiotics together with concepts from social theories such as activity system theory and actor-network theory, students will explore issues related to power, agency and ethics in professional communication.
