[ Academia ] [ Litigation ] [ Regulatory & Policy ] [ Transactional ] as a Relevant Course outside SLS for those interested in Technology : Intellectual property lawyers, particularly those who work with communications technologies, need to keep abreast of changes in technologies that create the need for new laws to protect and police our communications. This course offers an interesting perspective on the changes in communication media over the last century. General course Description: The nineteenth century was a critical period for technological development that accelerated forms of communication. As the telegraph replaced the letter, daily gossip columns replaced word of mouth, and photographs replaced the painted illustration, theories of writing and reading changed dramatically. Through texts such as Keats's Letters, Shelley's Frankenstein, Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, and Stoker's Dracula, this course explores the effects of media on the creation, dissemination, and reception of literature. This course also facilitates comparative work by juxtaposing 19th-century media with contemporary technologies of writing and reading, such as emails, blogs, and wikis, and the impact of these technologies on the creation, dissemination, and reception of literature today. Course Style: A Substantive/ Perspective course looks at law from an external or non-traditional standpoint. |
