A fiction and nonfiction writing workshop. Students will use London as the setting for narrative exercises in voice and form and, later, for complete stories and travel essays. We will visit several iconic and idiosyncratic locales, such as Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park and Sicilian Avenue in Bloomsbury, for exercises in point of view, dialogue, and setting. We'll discuss several nonfiction accounts from novelists (Ackroyd, Naipul, Coetzee) on their own encounters with the city, and we'll read a broad range of contemporary short stories (Esther Freud, Geoff Nicholson, Kim Newman, Oscar Zarate, Iain Sinclair, and Maureen Feely) that use the city as background--and sometimes as foreground. Because we will move back and forth between fiction and nonfiction, we will have many occasions to question subjectivity, objectivity, and narrative form.

ENG 20830 Creative Writing I: Craft & Composition at UCD; This is an introductory course in creative writing, so students are not required to have any previous experience in the field. However, if a student has some experience of writing creatively, then they stand to benefit more from the course, at least in the opening sessions. Among the topics considered are the development of a fictional voice, dialogue, character construction and some of the difficulties encountered by writers in the opening section of a piece of fiction. These topics are approached through a series of class exercises followed by group discussion. In this context students get an opportunity to discuss authors whose work they admire. A short assignment, usually a creative response and based on class work, is given every week.

"This unit of study in the writer's craft stimulates and guides students' creative writing, while emphasising the disciplined, professional nature of literary work and alerting students to contemporary literary forms and language. Students attend workshops in the genre of their choice -- poetry or fiction. Lectures and workshops consider a mixture of received literature and students' own works and deal with institutional issues such as copyright and equity as they affect writers."

This unit is an introduction to the field known as cultural studies. Students are introduced to a range of issues and readings that come from different disciplines but are all involved in a broader attempt to 'read' culture. Most people are familiar with the idea of reading a book or poem and even of reading a film, but this unit considers whether it is legitimate to regard other cultural formation and practices as texts. Thematically the unit moves from an interest in the 'everyday' towards a sense in which this everyday is replaced by creative and sometimes subversive alternatives in the form of play, travel and celebrity culture.
