In the Second Media Age (Poster), digitality is no longer restricted to the realm of technology, but permeates our perceptions of literature, culture, identity, and the body. In this light, "Digital Matters" will investigate the emergence and future(s) of digital media, from Vannevar Bush's Memex to Web 2.0, and from Donna Haraway's "Cyborg Manifesto" to the "Furries" of Second Life.
Authors for course readings include Manovich, Bolter and Grusin, Turkle, Murray, Aarseth, Nunes, and Nakamura. In addition, students should be prepared to spend significant time researching online, and to facilitate a session of the seminar (in groups). A course reader will be available in early January.
