| Sumario: | "How can we convince students to slow down to the crawl that is often necessary to see the real power in the compressed language Hemingway uses to tell a story? Are there qualities of digital age life that make students, somehow, more connected to Hemingway's life and his writing? How can we compare the 21st century 'transhumanist' interest in making ourselves into "something more than merely human" with Hemingway's characters like Nick Adams, Jake Barnes, Frederic Henry, Catherine Barkley, Pilar, Robert Jordan, or Santiago, all of whom similarly wrestle within the bounds of their own mortality? How can we expose some of the interesting divisions and offer ways to bring those comparisons to life in the classroom? The diverse, thoughtful, and often unexpected approaches described in this collection do exactly that. Hemingway in the Digital Age makes available to high school, college, and university teachers a wide selection of the emerging techniques and contemporary digital tools for teaching Ernest Hemingway's life and writing to 21st century students"-- |
