The course provides a Humanities perspective on web design. It introduces students to basic issues and practices of web design, but also examines how web pages can be seen as texts that are amenable to rhetorical and cultural analysis. Web sites embody 'architectures', which as MIT professor of architecture William Mitchell notes, raise many of the same issues of access, assembly, use, control, and community formation that occur with urban planning. We will thus not only practice designing web pages, but we will also consider methods for interpreting and analyzing web sites.

Abstract: The course provides a Humanities perspective on web design. It introduces students to basic issues and practices of web design, but also examines how web pages can be seen as texts that are amenable to rhetorical and cultural analysis.
