Creative Writing, Post-Modernism, and Future Theories
CHUM 395
Spring 2025
| Section:
01
|
| Crosslisting:
ENGL 378 |
Two main lines of inquiry will guide this class. First, what historically has been the place of creative writing workshops and the products they have galvanized? Second, how has post-modernism been defined in the past and how is it defined now? With various strategies and daily practice alongside long-term goals, we will think and write to create assemblages of compositions that go beyond traditional expectations, and potential exhaustion with generic form, towards renewed inspiration and commitments. |
