COMM 6350 - Literacy Seminar

Institution:

Roberts Wesleyan University

Subject:

Description:

In this seminar, we examine new communication technologies that depend upon reading and writing in counterpoint to four concepts in literacy studies: literacy as practice, literacy as control, literacy as mediation, and vernacular literacy. Our goal is to understand the scope and limits of these concepts for new technologically mediated environments - to see, in what sense, literate technologies challenge, extend or modulate the ways we use texts.
