Modern Mythology: The Story of a Transmedia Revolution: (Part 3) The Rise of The Unbook - 0 views

  •  
    In an age of digital storytelling, the distance between author and reader is rapidly shrinking, and the roles those parties play are rapidly changing.  One of the most radical concepts that I've come across during my research of transmedia storytelling is the "unbook."

Adapting Queneau's Exercices De Style to Classroom Use: An Experiment in Creative Writi... - 0 views

  •  
    When I first used Queneau's Exercices for teaching, I would hand out photocopied passages from nineteenth- or twentieth-century French authors, and students would work on these texts, changing the tense, point of view, sequence of events, and so on, as needed. More recently, I have used practice texts from a single work, Albert Camus's novel L'étranger , whose stylistic simplicity lends itself admirably to the purposes of the course. The students are given a two-paragraph excerpt from the novel for written assignments and a different passage for in-class practice. The advantage of having a single text is that in a short time the student has committed that text to memory, knows it in minute detail. The vocabulary and syntax are not an ever-renewed obstacle, and the student can proceed directly to stylistic modification of the text.
