Course Catalog Description:
In this seminar, we will study magazines and other smaller publications - some of which you've already read, some of which you haven't - to discuss and write about their significance as cultural artifacts. How can magazines, when seen as "composed" objects, help us with our own writing? How is the rise of the zine and e-zine responding to the evolving digital age? We will examine all aspects of the magazine, including its art, political statements, target audience, and history. Students will practice some of the forms that the class reads and create an e-magazine.
Class Notes:
This course is completely online in an asynchronous format. There are no scheduled meeting times.
