Check out this awesome new class we're offering! Multi-modal Literacies in Latinx Rhetorical Cultures Instructor: Loretta Ramirez Wednesdays, 4:00-6:45PM ... WHAT IS MULTI-MODALITY? Multi-modality mobilizes variouscommunicative tools to empower a unified presentation of ideas. The internet’s interlacing display of textual, audio, visual & motion is our daily engagement with multi-modality. An emerging academic study, multi-modality associates with new technology yet extends beyond digital to the tactile, body, food & scent. Multi-modality is also not new. Latinx historical rhetorics are rich in multi-modality: from Mesoamerican glyph & textile schemes to Early Modern codex picture-texts, from revolutionary cartoons to Civil Rights murals, from LGBTQ+ body performance to feminist digital testimonios. WHY STUDY MULTI-MODALITY? As current challenges & opportunities relocate us to a virtual classroom, multi-modality rises as a future of communication displacing alphabetic word from its hierarchical privilege. This class explores shifts in pedagogy crucial to teaching careers in most academic fields & develops writing skills via multi- modal rhetorics to prepare for futures engaged with modern communications.
