PSCI 23909. LANGUAGE, POLITICS AND RHETORIC This course examines how theories about language and the use of language impact politics. Does it matter whether we all mean the same thing when we use words like "democracy"? Can we use language "neutrally" or is it always affected by power? How do documents like declarations, manifestos and constitutions shape our political concepts and choices? Students will explore these questions conceptually with the help of political theory texts. Appropriate for all Political Science majors. [HSS]
