This course focuses on new and digital media to consider how interactivity shapes, complicates, and challenges our understanding and experience of narratives. Through an examination of interactive fictions, including video games, visual novels, and hypertext narratives, students will analyze narrative structure, particularly in terms of reader/player response and media hybridization. By considering interactivity in relation to so-called “traditional” narratives, such as novels and films, students will gain a better understanding of narrative theory.Taught in English.
