Content

Texts can be seen as products, structures and processes. Etymologically, the term text originates from the Latin verb texere, meaning “to weave, to join, to construct.” The question is how the elements are woven together to make meaning. In the course, we challenge the traditional notions of text and literacy. By focusing on the role of multiliteracies, we study meaning-making and text structure in different genres, such as websites, exhibitions, buildings, cities and video games.
