Ink-Stained Hands: Narratives in a Post-Digital World
Instructor: Andrew Meyer
Offered Fall Semester. Honors Foundation course.
In a world spun from the threads of rapid change, where the digital tide ebbs and flows, this course delves into the enduring currents of narrative and the vital art of connection across the landscapes of difference.
We shall trace the delicate tension between the ephemeral dance of fleeting digital content – the brief sparks of social media and the phantom echoes of AI – and the deep, abiding human yearning for personal and communal stories.
With ink-stained hands and the whisper of turning pages, we will explore tangible paths to shape and safeguard narrative in this transpiring post-digital era. Through the ancient crafts of papermaking, bookmaking, and printmaking, we will ask: why anchor our stories in the physical realm as the artificial rises around us?
