Texts and Technology

This is a multimodal course on sound, which thus requires that you read various written documents as well as view films, video essays, and listen attentively to aural content. Here are the physical, full texts we will be reading, which you may purchase (support your local bookstores, like Charis Books and More or Virginia Highland Books!) or loan from the library, if the same edition is available.

1. 1. 1. Recitatif by Toni Morrison (ISBN: 978-0593315033)
      2. Zong! by M. NourbeSe Philip (ISBN: 978-0819571694)
      3. I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem by Maryse Condé, translated by Richard Philcox (ISBN: 978-0813927671)
      4. *The Norton Field Guide to Writing by Richard Bullock, Maureen Daly Goggin, and Francine Weinberg (6th edition; ISBN: 978-0393885729)

*While not required, the Norton is strongly recommended, as it is a great resource that houses answers to many questions you may have about writing, citations, format, structure, style, flow, creativity, and so on. The purchase of the book also gives you access to an online work/guidebook.

Unless otherwise stated, readings are available on our library course reserves (on canvas). Viewing options will be through YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, or Disney+. Let me know if you have any trouble accessing these materials.
