Description: This graduate course will reflect on and provide examples of the intersections between experimental poetics and the advent of technological advances, whose connections form the backdrop for the current cybercultural/literary condition structuring 20th-and 21st-Century world literatures and cultures. We will explore what can/has be(en) done with poetry in an online and/or new media environment. Our multimodal approach to the subject will make an emphasis on the digital-electronic, spatial, performative, audio-visual, and linguistic dimensions of writing poetry nowadays, expecting to offer new and powerful ways to think about and understand (teach) poetry. Readings will include poetry of several varieties (i.e. visual and concrete poetry, animated, video, holo-poems, algorithmic and interactive works, hyper/cyber poetic texts) from different world regions, as well as secondary readings in literary and cultural criticism and digital/media studies (>poetry) (i.e. Hayles, Glazier, Kac, Stockman, Davinio).
