ENG 118 - Webs and Labyrinths


Metaphors of webs, labyrinths, and networks are often evoked to describe the shifting landscape of globalization and increased connectivity across cultures, nations, market, and geographies.  This course will introduce you to writers and artists seeking a language fitting to an age of constant newness.  We will consider various narrative forms associated with the era of global culture, including reflexive modes of storytelling that break down boundaries between artists and audiences; sweeping historical novels that weave together the real and the ‘magical’; and multimedia narratives that combine texts and technology.
