Kommentar/Beschreibung

With the increasing presence of digital media in daily life, scholars are looking for ways to harness digital tools to supplement traditional ways of literary studies. This class is designed to introduce students to the emerging field of digital humanities and its applications in literary studies by examining the ways in which the study of Mark Twain and his writings can benefit from these new tools. Through a combination of introductory readings on Twain's life and work, hands-on exploration of digital tools for literary analysis, and practical application of these tools, participants will develop a critical perspective on the usefulness of digital approaches to literary study. By the end of the course, students will have gained a basic understanding of Twain's literary legacy, the skills to effectively utilize digital tools as a supplement to traditional literary analysis and research, and critical insights into the possibilities and limitations of such an approach.
