Description
Subject Area: Creative Writing
This course can also be studied in the following specialisations: English
This Level 3 course investigates bodies as a focus for techniques of writing. It examines filmic, literary and theoretical texts, addressing issues such as the racialisation, gendering and intercorporeality of bodies. The literary texts may include fiction, life writing and experimental genres. The theoretical texts will be drawn from a range of writers. The course includes a range of creative writing exercises and workshops designed to encourage student experimentation with forms of writing in various media. This Level 3 course builds on the foundations laid in Level 1 and 2 courses, by extending students’ engagement with a more specialised field while still addressing broader aspects of literary studies already encountered.
