Integrating Hypertextual Subjects: Combining Modern Academic Essay Writing with Postmodern Web Zines - Robert Samuels, Karios
In this hypertext, I argue that the construction of a class web zine as a shared writing project can help students to integrate traditonal and non-traditional models of academic writing. In detailing my students’ production and reception of a web zine entitled “The Daily Brewin,” I turn to a hypertextual model of new media literacy and discuss how composition teachers can develop theoretical frameworks and pedagogical practices devoted to thinking across the institutional and subjective forces circulating in postmodern higher education and culture. Central to my analysis of the roles of writing and computers in postmodern universities will be an examination of how new modes of media are transforming the fundamental structures of literacy and how these transformations reinforce multiple digital divides in higher education.
