The course offers an overview of the impact of the digital revolution on the analysis of contemporary Anglophone literary texts. Particular attention will be paid to the interrelationships between Black Music (Hip Hop and Techno) and African-American literature, in order to reconsider related socio-cultural phenomena and to reflect on the study of English in its linguistic varieties.
