What does it mean to become writers and public intellectuals who combine their creative work as poiesis and praxis within a community of creative people?
Writers will be asked to write about almost everything. Interviews, reviews, short essays, public speeches, radio plays, ekphrastic texts and staged works are among the many smaller forms with which an emerging writer has to engage. We will be writing in museums, writing in nature, performing on stage and exploring artistic collaboration. The course is designed for students who want to produce their own creative work and receive feedback, strengthening their personal writing skills as well as their creative and critical thinking. Throughout the course, students will discuss and analyze a variety of works, learn to read like writers, and deeply explore their senses, including reactions to and the incorporation of other forms of art. This experience and exposure to music, paintings architecture and nature e.g. can inspire writers to further their own expression via the multilayered genres of the written text.
The course will engage with different professionals in the field of creative writing and investigate how to build a successful literary career.
This course is open for students who have successfully completed Writing 1.
