9: A Haiku Remix

Below is the link to my digital remix: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u2Ato_fEf-PH9OxnzCbkYCtYmFyBAjNxMNco4LKqkyc/edit   I wanted to engage with the age-old concept of poetry and song lyrics being intersecting genres, if not sometimes the same thing. I worked together with Alex, and together we chose several pop songs to remix. While Alex’s focused on the chord progression and musical…

10: Avatar: The Last Airbender and Transmedia Storytelling

While I was reading Jenkins’s essay “Searching for the Origami Unicorn”, one of my favorite franchises came to mind: the Avatar: The Last Airbender series, also known (to me) as The Only Thing That Looks Good in Papyrus. It was originally a television series, aired on Nickelodeon in 2005, running for three seasons to end in 2008. The…

8: Circulation of Slam Poetry and The Language Barrier

I’ve always thought that hearing an author read their writing out loud is the best way to understand the work. That’s why slam poetry has always had a tight hold on me, and how it has earned a prioritized place in my heart. Authors can combine the beauty and technique behind language with live performances…

The Circulation, Delivery and Spreadability of Spoken Word

Poetry is a form of written/literary work. It is constantly evolving and adapting in the modern world. Spoken word is a form of performance poetry. I have been interested in spoken word since I first found out what it was in high school. I sat in my Creative Writing II class and my teacher introduced…

7: Ruining Music for the Masses

The original texts for our remix are lyrics and music for popular songs, put into the same or similar chord progressions, then made into a music video of some sort. This was our first and only idea (which Alex proposed to me before I even started thinking about what to do for this project), but…

5: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the Remix of a Classic

Pride and Prejudice is a classic tale written by Jane Austen. It has been studied and written about and more recently it has been remixed into Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith. The story contains the same characters as the original and the same English town. But this time Elizabeth is well versed…

BeautyGram

My genre is Beauty Instagrams that I refer to as BeautyGrams. The genre is Instagram accounts that have beauty related topics. In my Wiki, I focus on makeup. However, there are many subgenres within that wide genre. My most interesting finding is how popular Instagram is! It seems silly, but I never really realized the…

4. Hypertext Poetry

The genre I chose is hypertext poetry. Hypertext Poetry is part of the larger genre digital poetry. What I have found so far, partially on one of the sources Dr. Lang provided us, is that that the format of a hypertext poem is set up using links from words and lines, always from the primary…

4) The Digital Mystery Genre Is Not A Mystery

For a long time, I loved to read mystery novels, specifically murder mystery novels, and have found myself heading straight for the mystery section of Barnes and Nobel during every visit. For my Digital Genre Profile I chose to expand my love for this genre and to challenge myself to discover a new genre from…
