Kommentar/Beschreibung

Novelist Jaspreet Singh will conduct a creative writing workshop, particularly addressing the coronavirus crisis and its manifold and diverse aspects and effects. The workshop will include the growing vocabularies of corona. There will be a special focus on place, confinement, character, and changing human relationships. The course will also address the balance between fact and fiction, invention and truth, visibility and invisibility, imagining and unimagining. Questions may include: How to engage with the ‘return of science’? How to entangle disparate disciplines (biology, epidemiology, history, memory, economy, social theory, surveillance, art, humanities, etc.) in a fictional story and in a piece of creative non-fiction? How to write a ‘documentary poem’? This workshop is open to beginners as well as to those with some experience in writing. University students from all disciplines are welcome.

Activities include:

[1] Presentations/conversations on the craft of fiction/creative non-fiction/poetry.
[2] Suggested Readings. (Books, bio-fictions and essays)
[3] Writing assignments.
[4] One-on-one manuscript consultations.
[5] Group critiquing and conversations about writing.
[6] Online public readings of work created during the workshop.

The total number of contact hours will be 28 hours (of 45 min each). Details of scheduling will be announced in the first meeting. In general the workshop will run for one week, an average of four hours daily, between the hours of 16 and 22 h (Oldenburg time), so as to allow for the 8 hour time difference.
