Narrative and technology


From the Catalog:

This course examines the relationship between traditional literary forms and contemporary media such as hypertext, web logs, fan fiction, videogames, comics, and interactive fiction.

 

From Prof. Jamie Skye Bianco:

In particular we will play, read, interact with and create storytelling that is “born digital”: hypertext, interactive fiction, games, networked fiction, electronic literature (ELit), podcasts, digital video, flashworks, intermedia, and multimodal essays.


This is a W course, which means a writing intensive course. And for us, the understanding of what constitutes writing will be conceived of as expression and communication across a variety of media and practices. In this writing intensive course, we will learn and practice creative critical digital writing.
