Ad Hoc Class Project for the Corcoran Literary Festival!



























Class Project(s): to be determined by members of the seminar.
What might it be: to be determined by members of the seminar.
What must it be: something related to or associated to ideas discussed and explored in this class.
In other words: language liberated by the strait-jackets of convention and generic expectations. Instead of "regular alphabetic text", think in terms of: image-based, intermedia, video, satire, collage, culture-jam/hack, sound, performance, web site, participatory event, etc. I'm thinking that in terms of the reading on the 13th, the piece shouldn't have a duration longer than about ten minutes.

For about twenty minutes, I want you to brainstorm ideas in groups of three. Somebody should be the secretary or recorder. Copy down all ideas, especially the ones that seem totally unworkable. When we reconvene, we'll hear all the ideas and choose one or more. The rest of the class period will be devoted to executing our plan(s).
