Download or read book Creative Writing with Critical Theory written by Dominique Hecq and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed for creative writing practitioners and anyone interested in how literary works come into being. By focusing on the idea of inhabitation, it explores the links between creative and critical practice. It investigates how writers from around the globe forge connections between critical theory and their practice in sharply particular creative contexts. The collection highlights the versatility of creative modes of research; it enables understandings of how we make and remake texts and to what ends; it provides opportunities to survey how creative artists engage with research. Reviews Here is the book I've been waiting for: one that does not position language as something we use, or that uses us, but as both structuring structure and the tools of our trade. We invented language; it constructs our perceptions. We put language to work; it employs us. This strange and never-fully-apprehended relationship is teased out across the essays in this collection: sense-making, image-making, the co-mingling of theory and story, poetry and prose. Global in reach, ambitious in its scope, this book needs to be on every writer's desk. --Jen Webb, Director, Centre for Creative and Cultural Research, Faculty of Arts and Design, University of Canberra Creative Writing with Critical Theory: Inhabitation is an exceptional collection and addition to the writing about writing genre. Dominique Hecq and Julian Novitz have managed to pull together a fascinating collection of chapters, while also managing a coherence in the book itself. It is a compelling collection with strong academic rigour but what really comes through is the fact that it is written and edited by creative writers who are also academically engaged in the art, craft and processes they are writing about. A must have book for writing scholars and anyone who takes the study of writing and indeed writing itself seriously. --Professor Andrew Melrose, Professor of Children's Writing, Faculty of Arts, University of Winchester

Download or read book Prose Fiction An Introduction to the Semiotics of Narrative written by Ignasi Ribó and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2019-12-13 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise and highly accessible textbook outlines the principles and techniques of storytelling. It is intended as a high-school and college-level introduction to the central concepts of narrative theory – concepts that will aid students in developing their competence not only in analysing and interpreting short stories and novels, but also in writing them. This textbook prioritises clarity over intricacy of theory, equipping its readers with the necessary tools to embark on further study of literature, literary theory and creative writing. Building on a ‘semiotic model of narrative,’ it is structured around the key elements of narratological theory, with chapters on plot, setting, characterisation, and narration, as well as on language and theme – elements which are underrepresented in existing textbooks on narrative theory. The chapter on language constitutes essential reading for those students unfamiliar with rhetoric, while the chapter on theme draws together significant perspectives from contemporary critical theory (including feminism and postcolonialism). This textbook is engaging and easily navigable, with key concepts highlighted and clearly explained, both in the text and in a full glossary located at the end of the book. Throughout the textbook the reader is aided by diagrams, images, quotes from prominent theorists, and instructive examples from classical and popular short stories and novels (such as Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Franz Kafka’s ‘The Metamorphosis,’ J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter, or Dostoyevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov, amongst many others). Prose Fiction: An Introduction to the Semiotics of Narrative can either be incorporated as the main textbook into a wider syllabus on narrative theory and creative writing, or it can be used as a supplementary reference book for readers interested in narrative fiction. The textbook is a must-read for beginning students of narratology, especially those with no or limited prior experience in this area. It is of especial relevance to English and Humanities major students in Asia, for whom it was conceived and written.

Download or read book Keywords in Creative Writing written by Wendy Bishop and published by . This book was released on 2006-01-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wendy Bishop and David Starkey have created a remarkable resource volume for creative writing students and other writers just getting started. In two- to ten-page discussions, these authors introduce forty-one central concepts in the fields of creative writing and writing instruction, with discussions that are accessible yet grounded in scholarship and years of experience. Keywords in Creative Writing provides a brief but comprehensive introduction to the field of creative writing through its landmark terms, exploring concerns as abstract as postmodernism and identity politics alongside very practical interests of beginning writers, like contests, agents, and royalties. This approach makes the book ideal for the college classroom as well as the writer’s bookshelf, and unique in the field, combining the pragmatic accessibility of popular writer’s handbooks, with a wider, more scholarly vision of theory and research.
