The Keys to /Angels and Demons/

In this project-oriented seminar we will seek to distinguish fact from fiction in the Dan Brown novel Angels and Demons (2000), popularized by the May 2009 movie. The Illuminati, ambigrams, Vatican traditions, and the history and geography of Rome and Vatican City will serve as the platform for this exploration. We will use the latest technologies—wikis, 3D imaging, Google mapping, graphics and video—to construct a 21st-century guide to the novel. 3 hrs. sem.
