If we're talking specifically about the small web, then What is the Web Revival? is good because a lot of people will hear the term "web revival" thrown around in small web spaces, but not all of them know what it means. I think this essay outlines it pretty well. There's also What The Small Web Is Missing, which may not count as "syllabus" material, but I think it offers a good suggestion for what kind of content would draw more people's attention to the small web overall (as opposed to being viewed as a fad of some sort).
Maybe not directly related to the small web, but pandora's vox: on community in cyberspace has always been an interesting read just because of how much of it applies to the state of the web today (it was written in 1994, for context). Very interesting, at least to me! :)
(Thank you for the links to your bookmarks as well—they look super interesting and I'm really eager to dive into them when I get some free time!)
