...writing as doing displaces writing as meaning; writing becomes
meaningful in the material, dis/continuous act of writing.
Della Pollock, "Performative Writing" 75
This series of workshops is designed to bring the writing that we do as scholars closer - to who and what and where we are studying, to our research and writing processes, and to our audiences. We will also explore how we can make our writing more engaging by modeling in our scholarly work the ways that other texts (poetry, stories and novels and essays) move us in their lyricism, in their affective engagement of our senses, in their ability to show theory in action.
The workshops will be organized around four writing practices/provocations designed to enhance and expand the creativity of your scholarly writing processes and products: writing into/through/in response to images, working with collage and other techniques of juxtaposition, using citation to integrate and innovatively work with theory and other texts, and choosing writing forms and structures that performatively embody your ideas/insights/arguments.
A stipend of $100 is offered to each participant for completion of the series
Limited to only 10 members. So sign up TODAY by emailing facdev@csun.edu!
