SUMMARY:Pixellating Project Showcase - #murdererproblems: Translating Raskolnikov into 140 Characters and Other Adventures in Twitterature
DESCRIPTION:Pixellating is a monthly Digital Humanities (DH) mixer. It is 
 an opportunity for DH scholars and students from across campus to meet 
 colleagues\, talk tools\, brainstorm ideas and network with others who use 
 digital tools to explore and visualize their research. This month we will 
 be featuring a project showcase with time for a Q&A afterward.\n\nThis 
 presentation will discuss two creative “Twitterature” projects that 
 used Twitter to narrate Dostoevsky’s novels: @RodionTweets and 
 @YakovGolyadkin. Originally planned as public outreach projects\, both had 
 unexpected results in the realms of teaching and research. The presentation 
 will discuss the nuts and bolts of doing these kinds of projects\, what we 
 learned\, the impact on a public engagement level and peculiarities of 
 Twitter as a platform for creative work\, what benefits Twitterature brings 
 to the literature classroom and how to use it in your teaching\, and the 
 surprising research questions that emerged from the projects.\n\n
