Class Notes
In this course we will explore the practice and politics of writing by moving beyond rehearsals of established form into critical reflection on the art of writing. Through readings in both theory and creative cross-genre works we will ask: what are the philosophical and political implications of the writing forms we choose? How might a writer or writer-activist achieve an alignment of form and content? How might we break with, subvert, or modify pre-existing forms, and what are the implications of doing so? Classes will include writing prompts and assignments will invite creative responses. (General Education Code(s): IM)
