Graduate course?

[kitsjay]

Hi! I'm hoping for some advice--I'm an undergrad hoping to take a graduate course next semester on "Rhetoric & Poetics, Ancient to Modern". I have to talk to the professor before I can register, and I don't want to go in there completely unprepared. I'm hoping someone on here is a rhetoric/philosophy/literary theory person and can help me out.

I'm an undergrad but I think some of the things I've read before in various classes could be helpful:

Aristotle, Poetics
Plato, Phaedrus
Longinus, On the Sublime
Kant, Critique of Judgment (more specifically, "Analytic of the Sublime"
Nietzsche, The Birth of Tragedy (which also requires some knowledge of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripedes)
Derrida, "Structure, Sign, and Play"

Perfect--I'll definitely check these out before talking to him.

From what I've gleaned, the "regime of Truth" would be Foucalt...?

From "Truth and Power", I think.

Awesome. This should be fun, trying to catch up on. :)) Thank you so much for all your help!
