Atlanta, Georgia 30308Michael Joyce, author and professor at Vassar College, Steve Tomasula, author and professor at University of Notre Dame, and Jay David Bolter, Ian Bogost, and Maria Engberg from Digital Media/LCC will speak about how the literary arts respond and relate to an age of digital media culture.
Some of the questions we will discuss are:
- What is the function of literature in a digital culture?
- How does our immersion in digital practices affect our reading and appreciation of literary texts?
- Has literature changed in response to a new digital aesthetic?
We end with a moderated discussion.
We invite everyone to come: listen to, debate, challenge, and be inspired by the speakers and the discussions.
