Scientists Fallen Among Poets | The New Atlantis Overview
In his essay listed in the learning resources for this week,
“Scientists Fallen Among Poets,” Algis Valiunas celebrates
Richard Holmes’ “examining with subtlety and charm the way
poetry and science were interfused . . . sometimes with poets
following scientists’ lead, sometimes with scientists taking
inspiration from poets.” Holmes is referring to “what certain
poets, scientists, and adventurers of the late eighteenth and
early nineteenth centuries in Britain had in common: amazement
that the world and the human mind’s capacity to understand it
should be such a congenial fit, and hope that the enriched mind
would transform the world for human benefit.” Science, like
literature, is a process and product of the imagination, so there
is a space that they both inhabit. This week we explore that
space in relation to technology and literature. For your
discussion this week, you will choose a question from your
research project list and answer it relation to an issue in
literature and technology. In doing so you become accustomed
to asking and answering this question in preparation for your
final project, and you get to explore what the question reveals
in relation to technology and literature. The first stage of your
final project begins this week with your choice of topic, which
is a technology you want to examine. Learning Goals By the end
of Week Two, you should be able to demonstrate the following
skills: • Identify, define, and evaluate the influence of
literature and technology on human culture • Analyze and
evaluate the relationship between technology and literature •
Articulate cultural critiques of technology from the
perspective of literature • Demonstrate the ability to choose a
topic that will lead to a multimedia communication appropriate
to a given research or creative context (purpose, audience,
