LYST 260 - Cultural and Historical Perspectives of Writing
Periodically
This course explores the cultural and historical roots of written language as
well as the social practices which help shape the use of written language in society.
The course investigates how written conventionalities emerge from the shared uses
of written language, as well as the interplay between individual and social development
of writing in sociocultural settings. Following the theoretical premise that writing
is a complex symbolic and representational system, students in this seminar engage
in learning experiences where they are asked to reflect about the nature of written
language and its role in the organization of social life.
