BART 97A05 - Fiction (un)Fiction

fiction (un)fiction is a 12-week writing workshop that attempts to take an in-depth look at the creative process by instrumentalizing peer analysis, mentoring and literary critique of Anglo-American authors alongside student-produced texts. Students contextualize various elements concealed at the core of a small selection of unequivocal literary works as well as student-produced counterparts. By distinguishing simple and complex forms of writing styles, not only reading but also conversational skills will be enhanced, however let me be clear in stating that creative writing is neither methodology, nor even composition, instead a space where ideas might be sparked and powers of observation, imagination and discourse expanded.

The workshop is divided into three parts: reading, analyzing and writing.

None. (Laptop required for each class)
