Course Description
Digital Fairytale examines how social movements, folklore, AI, and digital culture intersect to shape modern storytelling and belief. Students conduct a digital ethnography of an online community or fandom, analyzing how myths, identities, and power circulate through platforms, algorithms, and participatory media. Signature projects blend AI informed critique with creative uses of generative tools, as students design interactive narrative campaigns, transmedia stories, or speculative “what if” worlds. The course strengthens critical digital literacy, ethical awareness, and creative problem solving while inviting students to rethink what counts as a fairytale in the twenty first century.
