Story and Interactivity Seminar__invitation to 1st session
YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED! --
ICAT Media Studies Dept presents
A Weekly Year-long Seminar on
“Story and Interactivity”
The first session of this seminar is
scheduled to begin at 2pm, Friday, 3 October,
in Classroom 3.
This seminar will feature discussion of two
classic books of the 20th century: _Hero with
a Thousand Faces_, and _Artificial Reality_.
_Hero with a Thousand Faces_, by Joseph Campbell,
concerns analysis of stories, especially folktales,
legends, epics, and myths from around the world.
George Lucas has credited this book as being an
inspiration for his Star Wars movies.
_Artificial Reality_, by Myron Krueger, concerns
interactivity, and considers ways that humans
interact with computers, and ways that humans
interact with each other through computers.
It is hoped that our thinking about these two
books together might help us 1) to develop new
ways of telling stories; and 2) to create new
characters and stories, and bring our old ones
into this, the Digital-Interactive-Cyberspace Age.
All members of the ICAT community are invited.
For further information, please contact
Prof. Eric Miller
