Lecture 13: Transliteracy and Inanimate Alice

Today's lesson will be devoted to reading a new kind of narrative - an online multimodal one (Inanimate Alice).

The outline for today's class will go like this:

BACKGROUND:
What is a web fiction?
What is multimodality?
What do I mean by transliteracy?

YOUR TURN:
Transliteracy in action



Read Episode 1, 2 and 3 of Inanimate Alice. If time permits, read Episode 4.

While reading note:
How reading this online fiction is different from reading the essays in the course books or reading the texts for your research assignment
What can readers infer about the identity of Alice? What traits does Alice seem to possess?
1 instance of foreshadowing
Complete this sentence: “I think the author is trying to say....”
The definition of transliteracy, do you feel you are transliterate? Why or why not (explain).
