CW225

Surveying established and emergent modes of writing across media, this writing-based course augments traditional scholarship with the affordances of digital technology and social media. Drawing on the histories of language and the theories of linguistics and performance, students will explore new possibilities for the articulation and analysis of their ideas. Through various lenses, this course investigates themes such as translation, redaction, immediacy, visibility/invisibility, and various forms of remediation as they are manifest in flash fiction, dead drops, and other new media platforms. The course explores how new technologies depend on and reanimate ancient ways of thinking about language, communication, and meaning making. This course counts as a studio elective for all other areas of concentration.
