Title | The anti-didactic hypothesis |
Authors | Charlton, J. |
Abstract | The teaching of Creative Writing often includes encouraging students to think about the premise of the work, which badly translated can mean "what is your work saying." Recent statements by the playwright and theorist Howard Barker might offer new routes for Creative Writing teaching and, more broadly, thinking about how the creative process works. Barker disavows rational knowledge of his work (though not skill in its construction) – rather positing that it is his job as a writer to use imagination in order to speculate around a hypothesis. |
