| Designing Web-Based
Narratives |
Carolyn
Guertin |
Our familiarity
with writing for print and our exposure to the aesthetic techniques
of television and film may blind us to the fact that writing
for the hyperlinked Web is a distinctly different art from its
precursors. This class will explore the structure and design
of web-based texts. After reading a range of exemplary works,
students will craft some small narrative networks of their own.

Sondheim |

A roller-coaster ride to the edges of literature and philosophy
on the Web. Extend your writing into new and uncharted territories
and see how far the internet can push your personal limits.

direction dictated by the dynamic of the group itself. (Just
