Literary History Becoming Digital
Faculty:
AugustaRohrbach
Group Description:
"Literary Studies Becoming Digital" introduces students to the problems –scholarly, ethical, aesthetic, technical, and cultural-- that arise as literary studies moves away from old technologies and artifacts and is replaced or augmented by the digital. Through a focus on transatlantic American literary history, each of the units of this course will study the archive—on and offline—of major figures of literary history and digital culture. During each unit, we will divide our focus between understanding key (pre-digital) literary texts and their digital redaction through a study of digital archives that feature their work. In addition to close readings and scholarly reception of the text in historical context we will also address issues of interface design and online communities by looking at the text-based Internet versus the multi-media Web. In the last unit, we will develop a multi-media, group authored website building on what we’ve learned about web design for the scholarly world and Ralph Waldo Emerson, the focal figure of this last unit. The class addresses issues of media manipulation, ethical behavior, and identity representation online, we will also be discussing social network use.
