Part of a massively distributed collaborative learning experiment, this seminar investigates the intersection of gender and technoculture. Built around a shared set of recorded dialogues with preeminent thinkers and artists concerning feminisms and technologies, the course utilizes collaborative resources, texts, and even objects to examine policy, accessibility, innovation, and citizenship. Student projects may utilize Scalar (a non-linear publishing platform) or the on-campus Fab Lab to build gender-conscious technologies and networks, situating them within local, interdisciplinary, and international conversations. Through reading, discussion, writing and making, we will add to a growing and global database of materials relating feminist technologies to economies, identities, infrastructures, and movements.

Credit: 2 hours Section Title: From Script to Print:Medieval Section Info: Meets with MDVL 501SPM (61645). Topic: 'From Script to Print: The Transformation of Medieval Culture, c.1350-c. 1550'. This special seminar, taught by distinguished Visiting Professor James Clark (Exeter Univ.), will meet twice weekly for 5 weeks (from 27 August to 26 September), followed by 3 weeks of distance-supervision of students' research projects until the end of the 8-week term (19 October). DESCRIPTION: Between the Black Death and the Break with Rome the cultural life of Western Europe was transformed. Even before moveable metal type came out of the Rhineland, old orthodoxies had been unsettled by novel scholarship, fervent classicism and vigorous, vernacular polemic carried in manuscript to a widening constituency of consumers. Print cemented these novelties and created a responsive reading public. It was this engaged, social community of readers that ensured renewed calls for reform around 1517 were not to be stifled and which became the focus of princely and pontifical efforts to confessionalize the continent. These remarkable changes might be studied by means of particular authors, texts or indeed the more dominant ideas but this course will focus on arguably the most powerful agents, the books themselves. In each seminar, an original book from the period will act as a point-of-entry into the key developments, and their effects for the people of Europe. The course begins by exploring cultural life in Europe in the mid-fourteenth century, and the transformations occurring in three, connecting contexts: the challenge within the universities to conventional philosophical, exegetical and theological method, led in England by John Wyclif; the effort to recover the texts and teachings of classical antiquity, arising especially in northern Italy and among the international community at Avignon; and the development of a lively vernacular discourse which found an audience beyond the clerical establishment. Also examined is the place of learning, reading and the consumption of books in different social strata. The course then turns to address the advent of printing in the second half of the fifteenth century and its effects not only on elite learning but also on the cultural and social patterns of the populace as a whole; it also confronts the continuing historical debate over the contribution of print culture to the making of Renaissance and Reformation. Course requirements: class presentation & 20-page seminar paper for submission at the close of the eight-week course. There is no language pre-requisite. Location: Reading Room, Rare Book and Manuscript Library (346 Main Library) Elective course for LIS Graduate Certificate in Special Collections (see http://www.lis.illinois.edu/academics/programs/mbms/certificate1).
