Spring 2025 Special Topic: Digital Literature

As literature and literary analysis move into the digital age, we look to apply traditional literary components and analysis, as well as expand and shift these to fit multiple genres of electronic literature and other multimodal texts. This course will bring together theory, analysis, and production through the in-depth study of multimodal literacies, digital rhetoric, and electronic literature. Students will gain an understanding of multimodal affordances, media theory, and the analysis of digital works, including immersive and embodied narrative spaces, such as installation art and augmented and virtual realities. The course will center around the medium as message, and how “born-digital” texts rely on multimodal affordances to convey their meaning; students will discuss and consider how and why author/composers utilize multiple modes, informing their own media choices. This course includes a course blog for responses to the texts we are reading and will provide hands-on exploration of various digital platforms each week, leading to students choosing the medium for their final digital project.

This course satisfies the Literature After 1800 requirement for English Majors.

This course satisfies a Post-1800 Literature requirement for English Literature, English: TBD majors, English/Journalism, English/Law 3+3 Majors.

Spring 2025 Detailed Description:

What do great editors do? Assigning stories, editing sentences, posting stories online, managing the flow of breaking news Tweets, uploading video – these days editors do all this and more. No matter what the task, they work to ensure that the news is reported accurately, clearly and completely. They also help reporters do their best work.

This course aims to get you to think like such an editor. In particular, you’ll work to develop the two types of vision good editors share: the ability to see what’s there in a story and the ability to envision what’s not there but could be. Great editors make good writing better. These editors also make sure newspapers and news sites give readers the information they need and want, and stories and graphics that help readers make sense of the world around them.

This course may be taken for CAPSTONE credit by English/Law, English/Journalism and English majors following degree requirements in place prior to Fall 2023. Pick up a Capstone Declaration Form in the main ENGL office (HS 230F) if interested in this option.
