    Amy Ridderhof wrote a new post, 571 Final Presentation, on the site EN571: Literature & Technology 4 years, 1 month ago

    Post-script:  Although the PPT is properly embedded on my blog, I think that the settings on our course blog site aren’t the same, so my slides appear as individual images. Crud! However, if you scroll down to […]

    I know that I am late in posting this, but I just wanted to tell you that I really like your revised final project proposal. I also wanted to share that while I was doing research this weekend, I stumbled across a full-text publication in the MU library system that has current statistics (2017-2018) on Entertainment, Media & Advertising (it is a…[Read more]

    I really like your idea and how you are continuing to develop this classroom activity! Here’s the link to “Context Collapse in Social Media” that I mentioned tonight — I don’t know whether or not it will help, but I thought that this might be an important issue to consider:

    Vincent,

    I really like your idea to connect literary studies, creative writing and DH in a high school classroom. That is an intriguing idea and a great way to get students to be more engaged with the material. I came across a title that might be of interest to you: “Composition, Creative Writing Studies, and the Digital Humanities,” by Ada…[Read more]

    Ally,
    What an interesting idea — I can’t wait to see how your project develops! Like Vincent, I am not familiar with Syuzhet, so am hesitant to offer much in terms of guidance with that. My main suggestion, however, would be to try to narrow your focus (this could be a potential thesis topic, perhaps?). One idea might be to limit your project…[Read more]

      Amy, I really liked that you committed to this project. Will you be looking at the entire text or just portions of it that are notable? Adding on to what Dr. Howe and Alec noted about the third aspect, I think that it could be more clear of what you mean by “situated in the larger realm of digital humanities.” I know this comment may not add onto your project, but I wonder why Shelley has Victor reference him in different ways each time and how that could add on specifically to that nonhuman aspect. I figure that when you try to use ctrl+f to find all the terms for the creature, you end up having to do multiple searches rather than one. What does that do to the interpretation digitally?

    I love the image of “trying to hold water in our hands”! By the way, I had an uncle who was working on his Ph.D. in the mid-1960s. He has finished all of his coursework and was simply finishing his doctorate thesis. There was a student riot, however, and his academic building was completely destroyed by fire. He lost his ***entire*** thesis and…[Read more]

    Thanks, Vincent. I’ll let you know about Scrivener once I’ve had a chance to play around with it. Whatever technology I decide to use in my classroom will depend on what and where I’m teaching.

    Ally,

    I love your assertion that “[o]ften the process, the journey, is more telling than the product.” That is so true! It has been very interesting to read about our individual writing processes. For instance, while I find it vastly easier to compose my first draft in Word (like you, that is my default favorite), I find it extremely dif…[Read more]
