Subject Description | This is an introductory creative writing subject offering students an appreciation of the specific craft involved in the practice of different genres and the chance to hone writing skills through workshop exercises, readings and discussion. The lectures provide students with an idea of the range of past and contemporary practices which can be usefully identified as autofictions; and specific lectures will be devoted to writing skills in a given genre: poetry; short and extended fiction; scriptwriting; playwriting; and writing for performance. By the end of semester you should have developed skills in researching larger narratives (mythical, socio-cultural, historical and political) impinging on your own life stories, which will enhance your own autofictional practices. |
Assessment | Written work totalling 4000 words. |
Prescribed Texts | A subject reader will be available.
