Stories of Digital Storytelling
December 22, 2011
My graduate Cultural Studies class, Visual Research Methods, has my students performing scholarship about visual culture, using visual methods (alongside or supplanting traditional scholarly writing about the visual), and visual formats. The final section of the course is about digital storytelling, and the assignment is to consider this new phenomenon within and through the sphere itself. The course yielded some first rate scholarship, listed here, on the digital storytelling of:
- Chinese skateboard culture: “How Digital Storytelling Contributes to Chinese Skateboarding Culture“
- a family who lives in Hysperia, CA: “Digital Storytelling“
- pro-am YouTubers: “From YouTube Amateur to Pro-Am“
- enviornmentalist bloggers writing on experiments in green living: “Thoreau 2.0″ Sharing the Environmentalist Experiment Online“
- a formerly incarcerated female family member: “TRAPPED: Digital Storytelling“
- a radicalized baseball: “A Different Vision of Baseball“
- the Occupy movement: “Digital Storytelling a Trojan Horse for Social Movements?”
- fans of the Getty Museum: “Digital Storytelling of the Visitors of the Getty Villa“
- teaching digital storytelling
Enjoy!
