Modernist Magazines and Digital Humanities

Working on the timeline has been fairly simple considering that the directions and columns are easily recognizable. I feel that it doesn't take very long to post on the timeline once you have chosen your topic and literary work. I have never worked with this kind of a timeline before and I find it interesting to see what other peope in the class have written, and to also give myself the opportunity of letting others see what I enjoy reading, and how I have responded to the pieces that I choose to write about. Working on the timelines in my collaborative assignment has been successful because I was able to catch a glimse and get some insight as to what my group members were reading and writing about in regards to our topic. I think that the timeline makes our discussions easier and opens up the lines of communication within our groups. Even though we each wrote our timelines individually, we all came together in the end to discuss our pieces and responses to them. I don't mind the timeline because I see it as an effective tool in both individual and collaborative work.

Many thanks to Clifford Wulfman for traveling all  the way from Princeton to speak with us about modernist magazines and the MJP. Also, I'd like to thank all of you for helping to make such a lively and interesting discussion. It was a fitting way to wind down the term, but don't forget that we have the Foucauldian and Barthesian pyrotechnics for the last day of class.

It's been suggested that we have a celebration this Thursday. I think it's a great idea, so I'll bring in some fresh assorted Italian cookies from a local bakery. If you'd like to bring some food or drink too -- or perhaps paper plates, cups, or napkins -- please list it in a comment to this post.

See you Thursday.
