Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this class, we will be investigating the 20th and 21st century manifestations of Lewis Carroll's 19th century classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass. The aim is to understand the potential in Lewis' original texts by investigating its contemporary versions in film, game, fiction, material culture, digital media and public discourse, and at the same time learn more about media convergence, the relationship between the material and the digital, and the principles of such media phenomena as adaptation, multimodality and intertextuality. The course will be project-based: after an input phase, students will be expected to develop their own research questions and, with guidance, develop, present and discuss their projects in the course of the semester.
