Abstract

This chapter presents a case study based on two recent courses on media, material, and short literature taught at Bogazici University, in Istanbul, Turkey between 2018-2022. By introducing students to short literary genres such as aphorisms, maxims, epigrams, riddles, and dozens of other examples, students could turn their neighborhoods into anthologies by digitally mapping short literary forms in public locations. Rather than require students to buy readers, anthologies, or collections compiled by for-profit international publishers, students created, annotated, and edited their own collection of a particular short genre. The final evaluation emphasizes the importance of encouraging literary students to experiment with the categorization of literary objects rather than accept “literature” that has been judged, edited, collected, canonized by international publishing houses.
