The Power of Words: Reading in the Digital Age

The course moves from the close reading of great works of the literary imagination to examine and the reader play in the process of textual interpretation. The effects of digital media on reading and textual meaning are a central concern. Primary readings are drawn from different periods and genres, with the interests of the students contributing to the selection. Secondary readings are drawn from literary criticism, philosophy, the history of reading and books, and digital humanities.
