Abstract

 The purpose of this course is to explore various aspects of political communication in the United
 States. Our first topic will be presidential rhetoric and the rhetorical presidency. As we explore
 this topic, we will investigate the historical development of presidential communication and the
 major genres which help shape and structure that communication. Our second topic will be
 political campaigns and the evolution of the “long campaign,” particularly its inescapable
 connection to mass media. Our third topic will be grassroots and resistance political
 communication. Here, our focus will be on the nontraditional approaches taken by ordinary
 citizens and citizen groups as they strive to have their voices heard and impact policy.
