ENGL 262 — Digital and Electronic Literature
This course studies the history and genres of born digital literature from early computer generated texts through hypertext fiction, digital poetry, and interactive fiction, up to the multimedia platforms and networked narratives of the present day. Students will engage with theory and critical studies of electronic literature, and grapple with the difference between e-lit and games. The creative practices of electronic literature authorship will be explored via guided, hands-on creative projects throughout the course. No prior experience with digital or electronic media is needed or assumed. Code 1 course fee.
