On Jan. 25 at 9 am, the DCA’s Distinguished Lecture Series will offer a lecture entitled “Political Flip-Flop Advertisements: Exploring Popular Culture and Political Advertising,” presented by St. Norbert College assistant professor of communications and media studies Mark Glantz.

Dr. Glantz’s lecture will use Kenneth Burke’s theory of form to analyze political television ads that accuse rival candidates of flip-flopping. Romantic comedy films will be used as examples to explain how the theory operates.

Both events are free to the public, but goodwill donations are accepted. Advance reservations are recommended and can be made through the DCA box office, located on Highway 42 in Fish Creek. The box office is open Monday through Friday, 12 – 5 pm. Tickets can be purchased in person, on the phone at 920.868.2728, or online at dcauditorium.org.
