Scrapbooking and Remix???

Greetings.

In class, we have discussed the creative practices and theories associated with scrapbooking and remixing creative projects.   In this post, please consider how theories of remix and popular technology influence or improve your creative writing.

You may want to consider how those theories my be evident in your self-portrait assignments such as the “ID Box” and “My Name”.  Also consider how practices associated with scrapbooking are present or invisible in your creative practices.  

Your truly, 

Dr. Hill

Welcome to ENG 207, Creative Writing in Digital Spaces!

Greetings, ENG 207-007.

Welcome to Beginner’s Workshop in Imaginative Writing: Creative Writing in Digital Spaces at The University of Kentucky!

Beginner’s Workshop in Imaginative Writing: Creative Writing in Digital Spaces is a creative writing workshop and course that explores creative composition and literary arts in digital spaces.  This course will introduce or reintroduce students to the intersections of technology and literature by surveying literature and creative expression in digital spaces. The course will emphasize the constraints and freedoms associated with digital composition and literary practices. The theoretical aspects of this course will demonstrate how digital writing has been a source of inspiration for a variety of twenty-first century literatures.

As we discussed in class, this course will challenge students to learn in physical and digital environments. We are going to be blogs, videos, streamed lectures, archives, open access institutional resources and websites to enhance our learning environment.

If you would like to contact me, I can be reached using the information on the syllabus or via email damaris.hill@uky.edu.  I am excited to learn with you!
