I'm asking my students to be part of two worlds: the traditional, text- and paper-based world of literary reading and writing; and the emerging, digital-first world of ebooks and literacy practices constrained by the internet, our mobile devices, and the social habits that they carry with them.
One of the very important principles of the digital age is
iteration. I want to teach my students this principle and to use it as together we evolve some new kinds of literary analysis for the digital age. So, first I will explain iteration, then review where we have come in our analytical efforts, and then set forth some areas of improvement for our next iteration.
