Modernism Now: Digital Platforms for Studying Fiction
I’m in the process of fleshing out the course I’m teaching during the spring quarter at the UW: English 242, “Modernism Now: Digital Platforms for Studying Fiction.”
Essentially, the course will be a survey of literary modernism, with an emphasis on the novel. Three class meetings per week will be dedicated to discussing novels and modernism, and one class per week will be dedicated to learning digital tools and platforms. The final papers will be web-texts (equaling roughly ten to fifteen pages of words, plus media).
I’m sticking with WordPress for this one, but it will be the first course where I’m including Zotero and Twitter in the curriculum.
Below’s the working course description. As always, suggestions and comments are welcome. The course site will go live in late February/early March.
