New Media

Catalog description

This course studies post-cinematic media and the questions these media raise regarding memory and media storage; the relations of language and literature to technology; documentation and referentiality. Recent topics have included video games and how they have proliferated and mutated into a vast ecology of media, interactivity, and genre. Another recent seminar focused on visual journalism, and how the language of images can create powerful narratives and afford potent modes of storytelling.
