- Description
- The rise of electronic culture is radically transforming the
ways humans interact both personally and professionally. In
fact, the day is approaching when ‘literacy’ will be
synonymous with ‘computer literacy’. In this module, we
will explore the ways language and writing are reconfigured
through electronic media. In particular, we will consider
theories of hypertextuality, reader agency, and the decentred,
borderless text. Central to the module will be an exploration
of the problem of writing in and for e-space. Students can
expect to increase their awareness of the challenges and
opportunities created by this new space for the writer. In
application, the module will require students to produce a
series of documents in electronic form that demonstrate their
awareness of the unique demands e-space exerts on language use
and textual production. Basic training in a web editor
(software package) will be provided.
