Literary Studies beyond the Classroom: A Web-Based Platform for Students' Literary Creative Projects

Abstract

The TDG project aims to create an online platform that serves as a repository of students' projects while giving students an opportunity to produce and publish a creative work for an audience that goes beyond a classroom context. Students are encouraged to make a connection between literary texts produced in different cultural and historical contexts and the contemporary present through critical and creative engagement with literary texts. The use of the online platform for the creative projects not only turns the coursework into a community practice, but it also deepens students' understanding of the intricate relationship between the mode of publication and literary creativity.
