    In his 2005 publication, “At Play in the Fields of Writing: A Serio-Ludic Rhetoric,” Albert Rouzie argues that “the deeply entrenched divisions between work and play, seriousness and frivolity, and order and chaos…ultimately impoverished our culture’s approach to literacy” (27). This course will explore how some of these “deeply entrenched divisions between work and play” came about, and then it will examine how recent attempts to anneal the work/play split promise to positively impact our abilities to make and negotiate meaning in a rapidly changing world. Course readings will be drawn from a variety of fields and disciplines including Rhetoric and Composition, Literacy Studies, New Media Studies, Gaming Studies, Sociology, Psychology, Education and Anthropology. Recommended Preparation: ENGL 100  and a 200-level English course with grades of C or better.

  • ENGL 442 - Seminar In Visual Literacy

    (3.00)
    This course focuses on the impact of new media on an evolving visual and technological literacy. The course will examine literacy development and expectations in contemporary communication forms. To ground the study we will begin with a solid history of literacy development, both visual and textual, across cultures. The course goal is both to understand how we see and how we communicate in various cultural contexts. Practical applications will include both composing and designing in the computer-mediated classroom. We will explore art history, reading and writing theory, and the evolution and sociological expectations of literacy development. Technology’s impact on our literacy practices is great in scope; only by comparing print literacy with electronic literacy can we truly begin to understand, interpret, and create documents that meet contemporary visual and textual literacy expectations.

  • ENGL 447 - Online Voice and Community

    The social capital that shapes communities can be strengthened by technology.

The purposes vary, but the design, engagement, and outcome of successful online communities all share the attribute of valued voice. Using Kollack, Powazek and others, students will examine culturally specific online communities, analyzing text, voice, ethics, language, and structure. As well as studying, evaluating, and analyzing aspects of online voice, students will participate in online communities.
