This subject prepares students with a reflective knowledge about contemporary directions and debates in current creative practice. Students research, design, write and publish a creative project in essay, non-fictional or fictional form. They analyse a range of different perspectives (philosophical, psychological, inspirational and practical) on the connection between creativity and invention and on generic forms of creative, essayistic, fictional and non-fictional writing. Theories of narrative and voice, relationships between identity, subject and the representation of the self in the creative text, as well as contemporary approaches to the essay and to experimental forms of critical discourse, are discussed throughout the subject. Students respond to these contexts in the creative work they complete during the semester.
