Description:

This class will provide an experiential exploration of the ways in which we, as human beings, construct and present ourselves. We will use frameworks from psychology and cultural studies to understand the presentation and performance of self in the public world. We will look at the traditions of self-portraiture, autobiography, memoir, and diary keeping as forms of self-description and self-presentation. We will explore contemporary forms of these activities that have arisen on the Internet, including blogging, social networking, chat, massive multiplayer online games, and more.
