OLCT Spring 2019
This is the course group for Brooklyn College Spring 2019 ENG3196/COMM3000: Orality, Literacy, Computer Technology (OLCT).
Thursdays 6:30-9:15pm
Instructor: Jojo Karlin
Course Description:
We read on telephones. We video chat from computers. We express ourselves with pictographic emoji in “text” messages or in comments “sound on!”. Spoken and written traditions confound and compound one another in the age of the internet and social media — as they have done for thousands of years. This course aims to address shifts from orality to literacy to computer to technology. By examining what literature is and becomes alongside technology, we will consider how we communicate. Our primary focus will be on the ways technologies of communication result from and simultaneously influence the ways we think.
