SPN 306 - Spanish Mutant Fictioneers: Literature and Media in the 21st Century

Course Units: 1
Spring; Henseler) The contemporary authors known as “Generación Nocilla” or  the Mutantes are well-connected and savvy users of new media and social networking sites. They maintain their own web pages, they write blogs, they produce videos, book trailers, electronic hypertexts, and post photographs on Flickr. They directly address and dialogue with their fans and foes alike. This course examines how authors such as Agustin Fernandez Mallo and Jorge Carrion use new media technologies to mutate words in print and print across media platforms. To understand the role of media in print, this course includes a series of hands-on workshops and a series of hands-on creative-critical writing projects that students develop in a workshop-like environment. Students will read, watch, and analyze the work of these authors by reading novels, books chapters, newspaper articles, blogs, and watching trailers, Prerequisite(s): SPN 203   or permission of the instructor.
