Talking and/as Writing (SNF Paideia Program Course)

Catalog description

In this SNF Paideia Program course, we will study the relationship between talking and writing, looking at works that utilize improvisation, recording, interview, performance, or transcription techniques, and we will use talk techniques in our own creative writing as tools for developing characterization, structure, and dialogue in fiction, and documentary and voice-driven practices in poetry.
