The course Literature in the Digital Age aims at examining the interrelation between literature and the new digital technologies. The focus is on the revolutionary transition of fiction from page to screen in this “late age of print.” Among the themes to be discussed are the problems of literacy; authorship; the various modes of electronic literature (hypertext, cybertext, multi-media, computer-generated text); the pedagogical applications of computer games and software products; the writing and reception of electronic literature; the various methodological approaches to analyzing electronic literature; issues of interactivity and immersion in reader-reception. The authors discussed are postmodern writers, predecessors of e-literature, cyberpunk writers, and others. Students are required to prepare a term paper or to produce their own piece of digital artefact.
