COMM 6350 - Literacy Seminar


In this seminar, we examine new communication technologies that depend upon reading and writing in counterpoint to four concepts in literacy studies: literacy as practice, literacy as control, literacy as mediation, and vernacular literacy. Our goal is to understand the scope and limits of these concepts for new technologically mediated environments — to see, in what sense, literate technologies challenge, extend or modulate the ways we use texts.

When Offered: Fall term alternate years.



Credit Hours: 3
