| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2501 A fiction- and creative nonfiction-writing workshop for students with advanced Spanish writing skills. The class is conducted as a combination seminar and workshop, with time devoted to discussion of work by established authors and by students. The course will focus on the development of essential elements of craft and technique in fiction and non-fiction writing (point of view, voice, dialogue, narrative and rhetorical structure, etc.) We will focus more on how fiction and non-fiction stories work rather than on what they mean. This writerly perspective can be useful for reconsidering and judging pieces of writing long accepted as “great,” as well as a practical method for developing individual styles. Short fiction, crónicas, personal essays, travel narratives, and memoirs are some of the forms we will work on. At the end of the semester, each student will produce a dossier with four edited, full-length pieces of original writing, consisting of a combination of fiction and non-fiction work. Previous experience in creative writing is recommended, although it is not necessary. ; Prerequisite(s): At least one 300-level course in Spanish, or instructor consent; Enrollment Limit: 12 Div: III; Humanities, B: Analysis of the Social World, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts) (; Hav: HU, B, A) |
