ENGL 584: At War With a Narrative Strategy
The fall graduate workshop will investigate how a simple writing prompt turns into a narrative strategy for a longer, book-length work. How does a narrative strategy work in something visual like a work of art or a film? How does a writer “read” a landscape or a city as a text? How does a writer read the intentionality of such things as architecture (churches, schools, libraries) and design (cars, retail store merchandising) and translate that into narrative? How does a narrative form coalitions with image, language, structure and sound?
