Topic Section 1G: Communicating in the Digital Age We will examine the impact of the new digital technologies on our reading and writing practices and look at ways in which readers and writers impact the direction of communication technology. We'll look as well at the relationship of today's digital genres--everything from text to Twitter--to earlier, more traditional genres; how they develop unique conventions and practices; how they self-regulate, moving from freewheeling anarchy toward definable forms and expected behaviors; how they deal with violations of conventional norms; and how new practitioners learn and perfect their art. We'll consider how the new genres create an aesthetic, and we'll examine the legal and ethical problems these new technologies pose. All readings will be available online. Students will write short essays and a term paper or semester project on an appropriate topic.
Restriction(s):
Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
