- Abstract:
- The attached syllabus was written for my undergraduate seminar “Renaissance Media” (ENGL 281) taught Spring 2016 at UNC Chapel Hill. The learning objectives for the course were as follows: "During this course, students will: * learn the basic history and culture of media technologies in England during the early modern period (roughly 1500-1700); * use this historical knowledge to interpret a wide array of non- and para-canonical literary texts; * understand the Renaissance as a moment of media in transition; * relate contemporaneous responses to that transition to our own moment of technological upheaval; * practice close reading of both texts and their material forms; * practice communicating ideas and arguments across a variety of modes, media, and platforms; * and gain a deeply historicized appreciation for literature as always embedded in and produced by a technological milieu in which not only authors, but communities of readers, designers, publishers, and patrons collaboratively produce meaning."
