ENG 118 - Webs and Labyrinths

Type of Course: Lecture, Discussion
The globalized world calls for a new language to describe it: new metaphors, new stories, and new modes of storytelling.  We now live in a world of webs, labyrinths, and networks–metaphors that suggest the breaking down of borders 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 different sorts of fictions associated with the era of global culture: 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.
