Critical Analysis as Modeling and Prototyping

Through exploration, debate, enthusiasm, skepticism, engagement, and, importantly––making and doing things­­–– this iteration of 730/830 “Digital Humanities” engages the theory and practice of modeling and prototyping. Our focus will be on recently published work that reflects the ways in which literary critics and practitioners of DH address the entanglement of technology with society & culture, ways of reading & writing, and conducting or enacting criticism. The course requires creativity, critique, and a wide range of affective intellectual moods.
