Description
The medium and the message refuse to be divorced. We will study works from fine presses, both historical and contemporary, artists’ books, chapbooks, and graphic novels, and there will be the opportunity for interested students to introduce other visual forms of text to the class, such as video games, electronic poetry or street art. We will study the theory of textual objects and gain further insight by becoming, ourselves, makers of textual objects. The final assignment, which can be collaborative, will be a critical essay, a textual object, or some combination of the two.
