Course Updates

Useful Slides + Resources

Dear students, here are some of the materials from our first week of classes. First of all, find an abridged version of the slides we used in class, below. This is the sheet where you can provide the links to your Google sites (and to your thought-provoking web-entries). Also, this is a blog from last year you can draw inspiration from. Regarding the podcasts we discussed in class: here you can find the discussion on novels at the age of AI (second part of the episode, in Italian, sorry about that) and this is The Guardian's Black Box series on Chatbots. Finally, for those of you who may be interested: this is Elizabeth Maddock Dillon's brilliant blog post on teaching Literature at the age, which I keep coming back to. See you next Thursday!

Finally, some news and schedule changes: tomorrow we'll have two presentations (Andrea Pisano/Hypothes.is and Arianna Carnovale/Voyant Tools), we'll experiment with Hypothes.is and, consequently, we'll work on Bauer and Zirker's “Whipping Boys Explained: Literary Annotation and Digital Humanities.” In fact, on Friday 30 October we'll have no class: I decided to postpone it (early December) due to the general strike. More on this tomorrow, until soon!
