^{Descripció del Curs/Contents for the course:}

^{Introductory course and overview of the state of Hypertext and English Literature on the www.
Dyachronic and hypertextual analysis of authors and their works, up-date of current theoretical, technological and hypermedia developments.
We will combine the tools of the literary and textual critic with those of the social and political historian to examine society, the religious and political debates and anxieties that surrounded English literature and the opportunities created through the appearance of hypertext, hyperliterature and hyperdrama.}

^{To facilitate such discussions and lively debates, this class will run like a seminar and a reading group. In seminars students rely on one another for sharing reading, writing, interpretation, and discussion; in reading groups, members contribute equally and work together to form an understanding of ideas, texts, history, sentences, words. While I will provide brief lectures, I hope we will spend much of our meetings discussing the works as a class and working in small groups on assigned, in-class analytic and creative projects.}

^{In-class activities will be dealt with in-class. Out_of_class activities will be dealt with virtually, that is based on the use of student e-mail and listserver set-ups.}

Objetius/Aims of the Course:

^{You should end the course with a broad overview of the literature written in hypertext format and which are the developments today. Such an overview gives you a chance to link ideas together, see historical shifts in tastes and ideology, create a frame and narrative for the wide array of literary works and theories. Each student should develop and improve a certain critical skill to analyse and comment ©opyrighted/written texts, and apply this knowledge to the writing of the students own papers. You will also be encouraged to publish and contribute with articles to the wide existing number of electronic academic journals with which we maintain a regular close collaboration, through our own publiching house called UV Press.}

Evaluació/Assessment:

Reading
These materials, several books, including short, accessible discussions of theory, books and articles that provide model interpretations of some of these texts, as well as a few articles on the very act of reading and how we understand culture are already on-line.

Writing
You will have two formal writing assignments and several informal writing tasks. One short "engagement paper" discussing a critical theory (750-1000 words). One group project that will require each person in the group to write 2500-3000 words; this project is due on the day of thefinal exam. The final project will be defined during the academic course. This class will be very writing intensive.

Speaking
Each class session we will discuss some aspect of literature, of reading strategies, and have some form of practice writing.
On days that are designated as "workshops" we will each bring a draft of the paper and work on improving it with several members of our workshop groups. A workshop only works if you ask questions of your peers and offer useful, concrete advice on how they may improve their papers. We will have several opportunities early on to practice group work if you are not familiar with this kind of classroom situation. Your work group will give two presentations during the semester. These oral presentations should discuss the critical strategy your group has developed, you won't be giving a lecture, you will be contributing to the development of a collective website where your individual contributions can be integrated.

Evaluation
Each assignment sheet describes how that writing task will be assessed. In brief, however, papers will be given a number score from 1 - 10; we will discuss what constitutes each number at the beginning of each assignment. At the end of the course, we will decide on a traditional grade scale to correlate with the numbers.

              Class participation     15%
              Original contribution 20%
              Editing and publishing web-site  20%
              Translation of other web-sites 15%
              Case Study final project 30%
