For those of you anxious to get started on next semester, or perhaps those who just want to buy the books for the Spring, below is a list of the readings.
- The Nature of the Book Adrain Johns
- The Future of the Book Geoffrey Nunberg
- Remediation Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin
- Wealth of Networks Yochai Benkler (You can download this book for free.)
- Glut: Mastering Information Through the Ages Alex Wright
- Everything is Miscellaneous David Weinberger
- Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in a Hybrid Economy by Lawrence Lessig
- Paper Machine by Jacques Derrida (We will only be reading two articles from this book, so you will be able to get it off eReserve. But regardless it is a good book and if you have a chance pick up a copy.)
- Also we will be talking about Rip: A Remix Manifesto so if you want a movie to watch over break you might just watch this. It is entertaining, informative, and you get to pick how much you want to pay for it.
(This isn’t 100% final, more like 95.2%.)
Thanks! Barnes and Nobles could order “Writing Analytically,” but they wanted $65. I’ll keep looking.
great list. this class should be awesome. I am looking forward to hearing more about its structure.
