ODU Course Catalog Description: Taking historical, cultural, and theoretical views, this course bridges literary studies with new media. How has technology historically affected literature and culture? Can the democratization of information accelerate literary development? Topics will include digital archives, intellectual property in the information age, and electronic textuality.
Spring 2019 focus: 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.
