ENGLISH 4DL3 - Digital Lives

3 unit(s)

A critical investigation of the burgeoning domain of online life writing, concentrating on 2-4 selected “automedia” modes, such as digital photography, iphoneographies, public social media accounts, online diaries, vlogs, blogs, podcasts, multi-platform projects, and/or hashtag campaigns. A main concern will be the possibilities and the limitations of online life writing modalities for “self-authoring” and social justice activism.
