dc.descriptionTrolling. Disinformation campaigns. Ad hominem attacks. Gaslighting. Obfuscation and pedantry. These things, and more, are modes of address that have come to typify popular representations of social media discourse. In this class, we’ll examine the theory and practice of bullshit as it relates to digital rhetoric and online circulation. Among other questions, we’ll consider how and where manipulation, truth, and ethos mediate what we popularly describe or understand as bullshit. We’ll think together about how complex appeals to lived experience and alternative data circulate among certain communities of practice online, with particular attention paid to anti-vaccination discourse. We’ll not only examine what it means to argue on the interwebs, but we’ll also ask what it means to imagine digital rhetorical practices that center on questions of ethics, justice, and power.en_US
