Description

This course centers on the changing relationships among digital texts and different domains of life - including personal, work, education, and public spheres. Course readings and discussions focus on two central questions: first, how do digital texts change the way we read, analyze, interpret, and compose? Second, what are the implications of these changes? To address these questions, students study the historical aspects of and theoretical approaches to the study of digital culture, focusing on the connections between reading, writing, writing, and technology. Additionally, coursework requires students to develop their ability to compose digital texts while thinking critically about those texts. Students will consider how textuality is related to changes in media, and what those changes mean for personal, professional, and community life.

This course is closed for registration.
