Literature and Hypertext

Overview

ENGL 475 is designed to introduce students to the study of the relationships between literary forms and digital media. Hypertext is composed of blocks of words, screens and images linked together electronically through multiple paths. Unlike the printed text, hypertext can only exist electronically. This course is organized into three parts: hypertext as an artistic medium, the politics of hypertext, and hypertext and literary studies.
Outline

Over a work schedule of 19 weeks students will read texts and hypertexts on the following topics: the archival text, the multiform story, visual narrative, game narrative, the rhetoric of hypertext, interactivity, cyberculture, theory and technology and the debate on new media. Students are expected to participate in the discussion board.
