Michelle Hodges is originally from Bakersfield, California, home of cowpatties, oil fields, tumble weeds, Buck Owens, Big Foot trucks, the Kern River, agriculture, and more agriculture than any other state in the U.S. She escaped her small town to Los Angeles, where she discovered for her environmental interests and writing abilities at Santa Monica City College, earning two associates degrees; science and liberal studies. She transfered to the University of California, Santa Barbara as a junior English Literature major, with emphasis on philosophy. She particularly enjoys German and French literature and philosophy of the eighteenth and nineteenth century. In general, she admires revolutionary writers for their attempts to challenge popular notions and release people from restraining conformative views. She is a creative writer of poetry, novellas, short stories, television programs, and screenplays that are historical, satirical, rhetorical. As a business writer, she contributes to the areas of publicity, press, advertising, internet, and underwriting. After graduation she will continue both her creative and business writing in Los Angeles for television and promotional works, until the day she tries her hand as an expatriot writer in another country.
E194: Professor Liu's eye for collaborative creativity gave me new insights into literature. We began by exploring both current and traditional forms of authorship, and then were allowed to choose the nature and direction for our groups and our individual research projects. Its is interesting to consider both the function of literarily linking our papers and their concepts, but also to link them by means of coded text which activates particular words. It is symbolic of how our class functioned, as we linked our research findings conceptually between groups and members, and linked them by activating dynamical texts.
Thank you UCSB for offering this class! The connection between literature and technology is the next phase of literature, the "new" frontier, and this class is filled with invaluable tools for interacting with new modes of authorship and readership.
