ENG1131 extends the typical "writing about literature" course to include entertainment and popular culture media including cinema, television, music, video games, pop literature, comics, magazines, and zines. We will develop and employ strategies for reading both image and text within these forms, particularly focusing on the remediation of print into film and video games. We will not only analyze and interpret media works, but also use media driven forms for exploring the production of meaning and collaborative writing. You will not only be writing about media, but you will be writing through media.
This particular section of ENG1131 will focus on children and youth's culture and literature within media. Our class texts and media will incorporate print, film and video games. All media will emphasis children and youth's culture. We will also be looking at how different media and mediums (blogs, webpages, digital libraries, online diaries, etc) impact and alter children and youth's literature and culture.
