Format

This seminar is project-based, meaning you will iteratively develop your own research in response to a series of prompts. You will periodically share this research with me and your peers, present it at the term's end, and integrate it into a scholarly portfolio of your work.

Each of our seminar meetings will usually involve the following:

Workshop: We will collectively experiment with a particular technique for altering texts. You will be asked to apply what you learned during these workshops and document your work in a notebook.
Discussion: We will chat as a group about the workshop and readings. During these discussions, I may decide to listen, without much (if any) intervention in the conversation. I may also decide to briefly lecture about a given topic or ask you to present material from your notebook.

You should arrive to each meeting having read the assigned texts and completed the assigned exercises, all of which are listed in the course outline.
