Technologies of Narrative

 

Narratives, ancient to contemporary, are constructed and communicated through a wide variety of means and media. How do the historical changes in these technologies of narrative impact the evolution of literary forms, both established (epic, tale, novel, film) and emergent (hypertext, interactive books, blogs, video)? Students explore a multiplicity of forms through diverse critical approaches, including formal, historical, and theoretical analysis.
