Section Title:
Books Matter
Section Info:
This section for Chancellor's Scholars only; other students may only enroll with consent of instructor and the Campus Honors Program. BOOKS Matter, Book Matters GLL/CWL 199 This course focuses on a wide range of approaches to books and reading, from the physical exploration of books and their tangible reality to their digital expression. By interrogating the rich cultural and technological past of the Book, this course aims to explore how we arrived at where we are at today. Because we are preparing students for meaningful lives, some aspects of which we cannot predict, the goal of this course is to show the interconnectedness of discourse and knowledge. What better place to explore this than the book? Why do we care, why should we care about books? The course is well suited to an engaged audience of students with curious minds. Our goal is to produce ideas, lots of them. We will accomplish this by engaging with stories from many times and many places that emphasize the human need to tell its story and by doing so to make sure that human existence matters. From the sublime and existential to the nitty gritty of getting ink under your fingernails this course combines a broad range of texts and activities that interrogate the book. The course differs from other campus offerings in that it includes texts from a number of historical and literary traditions read not only as literary texts, but also as expressions of the meaning of the Book. Concurrently, we explore the technologies of the book, the economic practices of books, and their dissemination, translation, digitization, and curation. Through broad reading, diverse excursions, lively debate, and written articulation, collectively we will explore the book?one of the hotly contested artifacts of our time.
Restriction(s):
