• ENGL 347: Activists Writing Media: Composing Democratic Futures

  3.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  The early twenty-first century has seen an explosion in the development, repurposing, and critical use of new media by political activists. Unlike theoretical debates regarding the relative merits of new media compared to more traditional media or the vigorous business interest in "web 2.0" for its marketing possibilities, activists have approached new media in a rhetorical fashion. For activists, new media are part of the "available means" with which political organizing and campaigning take place. This course explores the multiple and complex ways in which activists have made use of and rewritten what counts as media, who counts as an authorized writer, and even what counts as writing. The course will investigate examples of activist campaigns, emergent theories of literacy, and the role of literacy training for the development of activists and how this is often at odds with the literacy instruction students receive in secondary and post-secondary schooling.
