Course Summary:  Literacy is by and large interactive and social, wherein texts, including literary formats, "books" in general, and oral speech, are often dialogic as co-constructed conversations and discussions with the back-and-forth by relative/respective roles in the context. In this mini-course I aim at examining the definition of a social dialogue, which is never definitive, using e-Books, YouTube videos, posters inside the subway, web-sites, etc., with a preference toward a "common sense definition" which emphasizes the social aspect of dialogues, say their being socially situated. A few field trips may be included optionally for museums in Manhattan in New York City.
