CCI.UTK.EDU 1 A MESSAGE FROM Dean Mike Wirth The past year was momentous in so many ways. Last fall, we celebrated CCI’s 50-year anniversary with many alums, friends and supporters joining us for a wonderful celebration at the Knox- ville Convention Center. In the spring, our students and faculty had to pivot to 100 percent remote teaching and learning after Spring Break as a result of COVID-19 including holding vir- tual Spring Commencements. In summer, thanks to so many of you, we celebrated the end of UT’s Join the Journey Cam- paign during which CCI raised $22.4 million, 149 percent of our campaign goal of $15 million. These milestones serve to highlight the incredible work of CCI’s dedicated faculty, staff, students, alumni, friends and administrators and underscore the continued growth and potential of this great College. Since its inception in 1969, the College has enriched the com- munication and information professions by fulfilling its mission to educate students, conduct cutting edge research and creative work and serve our communities. We embrace the values of intellectual pursuit, honesty and integrity, diversity and inclusion, interna- tional and intercultural awareness, social justice, and other core ideals of the University of Tennessee in the land-grant tradition as we send our graduates into the world. This special College has had a profound impact on all of us and the Communications Building/Circle Park is “hallowed ground.” As you look through this document, you’ll see the names of many “CCI greats,” both past and present. You’ll also see stories about: how our faculty, staff and students rose to the challenge of remote teaching and learning, our outstanding programs (e.g., diversity and inclusion, documentary films, study abroad and social me- dia), our world-class research, our new degree programs, and our outstanding students and alumni. We are an integral part of the Volunteer family and a significant part of the greatness of this 226-year-old institution. Our alumni have done remarkable things in their professions and epitomize the VOLunteer spirit in their communities. You in- spire all of us –students, faculty and staff – to strive for excellence in everything we do. The work of building a world class college is never done. Thanks to your ongoing help and support, CCI will continue its ascent over the next 50 years as a premiere College of Communication and Information. I hope you enjoy this commemorative annual report. Please know you have an open invitation to come back to Rocky Top to visit CCI and to share your ideas for helping us become more successful!

After a discussion of the main themes of classical rhetoric, the book offers a historical analysis of the rhetoric of 18th and 19th centuries, focusing briefly on the works of George Campbell, Hugh Blair, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. The book divides the current field of composition/rhetoric into five categories: current-traditio:. 1 rhetoric, romantic rhetoric, neo-classical rhetoric, new rhetoric, and new stylistics. An entire chapter in the book is devoted to the work of I. A. Richards and Kenneth Burke. The final chapter of the book offers an analysis of poststructuralism influence on composition--discussing New Criticism, deconstruction, feminist criticism, and postmodernism.

  • The Picture of Nobody: Shakespeare's Anti-Authorship
    The Picture of Nobody: Shakespeare’s anti-authorship RICHARD WILSON Contributor: Richard Wilson is the Sir Peter Hall Professor of Shakespeare Studies at Kingston University, London. His books include Will Power, Secret Shakespeare, and Shakespeare in French Theory. He is the author of numerous articles in academic journals, and is on the editorial board of the journal Shakespeare. 1. Bare life At the end, ‘his nose was as sharp as a pen’ as he ‘babbled of green fields’ (Henry V, 2,3,15). In September 1615, a few weeks before Shakespeare began to make his will and a little over six months before his death, Thomas Greene, town clerk of Stratford, wrote a memorandum of an exchange biographers treasure as the last of the precious few records of the dramatist’s spoken words: ‘W Shakespeares tellyng J Greene that I was not able to beare the enclosinge of Welcombe’.1 John Greene was the clerk’s brother, and Shakespeare, according to previous papers, was their ‘cousin’, who had lodged Thomas at New Place, his Stratford house. So the Greenes had appealed to their sharp-nosed kinsman for help in a battle that pitted the council against a consortium of speculators who were, in their own eyes, if ‘not the greatest… almost the greatest men of England’.2 The plan to enclose the fields of Welcombe north of the town was indeed promoted by the steward to the Lord Chancellor, no less. But the predicament for Shakespeare was that it was led by his friends the Combes, rich money-lenders from whom he had himself bought 107 acres adjacent to the scheme.

  • Marius, Richard. After The
    Boston Globe, May 17, 1992 AFTER THE WAR By Richard Marius Alfred A. Knopf. 637 pp. In 1977, one year before he left Tennessee to head Harvard's expository writing program, history professor/novelist Richard Marius described a novel-in-progress about "an immigrant who arrives in Bourbonville [Tennessee] in the autumn of 1917. He has been wounded fighting in the Belgian army, and now he must make a new existence for himself. His coming unhinges the town." Fifteen years later, opulently enlarged, the plan once entitled The Immigrant emerges as Marius's third novel, After the War. It is not merely good. It is amazingly good. The book does, however, take its time clenching us in its grasp. Rather, we drift in, disoriented and wary, like the novel's protagonist, Paul Alexander. Born Greek and educated in Belgium, Paul has spent almost three years recovering from a shrapnel wound suffered early in World War I. Vaguely hoping to find the father who abandoned him, Paul wanders to east Tennessee where he takes a job as chemist in a Bourbonville railroad iron foundry. Yet Paul is lost at the intersection of now and then. Wherever he turns he sees the specters of Guy and Bernal, his vibrant schoolmates, both killed at the dawn of the war, both everpresent in Tennessee to remind him they've sworn to remain together always. For the first third of the novel, Marius braids the stories of Paul in Belgium and Paul in Tennessee. They yield an achingly engrossing character, a studious boy grown into a pained young man who has recovered neither in body from his wounds nor in spirit from the deaths of his friends.

  • Guidelines for Historical Research and Writing
    GUIDELINES FOR HISTORICAL RESEARCH AND WRITING HOW TO APPROACH RESEARCH AND WRITING A. Fourteen Steps to a good historical research paper. In A Short Guide to Writing About History Richard Marius outlines fourteen steps that every student should follow in writing a historical research paper. 1. Identify your audience. All writing assignments are intended to be read, and the intended audience should always determine what is written. History is no different. An entry on Napoleon in World Book Encyclopedia is written for a general audience, while an article on Napoleon's Waterloo Campaign in the Journal of Military History is written for a scholarly audience. Unless otherwise instructed by your professor, you should always approach research papers in history courses as though you were writing an article for readers who have an interest in a particular subject but who may not be specialists in the field. Define important terms and give enough information to provide a context for your paper, but do not get bogged down in general information. 2. Have a sharply focused and limited topic. You must limit your topic in order to study the sources carefully, to think about them thoroughly, and to write about them meaningfully. If you try to do too much, you will not do anything. 3. Present an argument. A common misconception about historical research papers is that they should simply compile the facts. Nothing is further from the truth. The purpose of writing a historical research paper is to interpret the past. Do not simply provide what one would find in an encyclopedia entry, whose purpose is, in the words of Sergeant Joe Friday, "to state the facts, and nothing but the facts." Find a problem and try to solve it.

MINNICH* On this the 450th anniversary of the martyrdom of St. Thomas More (1473-1535), Richard Marius has published a very readable, comprehen- sive biography, Thomas More: A Biography,' of the "living being behind the glorified mummy." Marius comes to his task with impressive creden- tials. Soon after graduating from Southern Baptist Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky, Marius began his quarter-century of More studies with a dis- sertation at Yale University on More's polemical writings against heretics and then went on to become an editor of five of the volumes in the Com- plete Works of St. Thomas More2 series. Given his gifts as a writer, it is no surprise that he is now head of the expository writing program at Harvard College.

  • He Wanted to Do Was Go Home and Get a Drink. but at 8:02 Am, Hungover
    ~ Final Production Information ~ All he wanted to do was go home and get a drink. But at 8:02 a.m., hungover NYPD detective Jack Mosley (BRUCE WILLIS) is assigned a seemingly simple task. Petty criminal Eddie Bunker (MOS DEF) is set to testify before a grand jury at 10:00 a.m. and needs to be taken from lock-up to the courthouse, 16 blocks away. It should take Jack 15 minutes to drop him off at the courthouse and get home. Broken down, out of shape, with a bad leg and a serious drinking problem, Jack’s role on the force is simple – clock in, clock out and stay out of trouble in between. He’s in no mood to deal with a punk who’s been in and out of jail for more than half his life. But beneath the punk in Eddie lies a man committed to turning his life around and constantly searching for “signs” that will lead him to a brighter future. Jack knows better, though – people don’t change. In Eddie he sees only a pathetic rat who was offered a sweet deal... a rat he will be rid of soon enough. When Jack shoves Eddie into the back of his car and pulls out into the morning New York city rush hour, he doesn’t notice the van looming behind them. His head throbbing, and Eddie’s flair for conversation only making it worse, Jack stops off at the local liquor store to pick up some breakfast. As Eddie waits inside the locked car, fuming at getting stuck with Jack as his escort, he’s suddenly faced with a much bigger problem – a loaded gun pointed at his head.
