Abstract

This book advances creative writing studies as a developing field of inquiry, scholarship, and research. It discusses the practice of creative writing studies, the establishment of a body of professional knowledge, and the goals and future direction of the discipline within the academy. This book also traces the development of creative writing studies; noting that as the new discipline matures—as it refers to evidence of its own research methodology and collective data, and locates its authority in its own scholarship—creative writing studies will bring even more meaning to the academy, its profession, and its student body.

Abstract

This book describes an alternative way to teach Creative Writing, one that replaces the silent writer taking criticism and advice from the teacher-led workshop with an active writer who reflects upon and publically questions the work-in-progress in order to solicit response, from a writers' group as well as from the teacher. Both accompany the writer, first as readers and fellow writers, only later as critics. Because writers ask, they listen, and dialogues with responders become an inner dialogue that guides later writing and revision. But when teachers accompany writers, teaching CW becomes even more a negotiation of the personal because this teacher who is listener and mentor is also a model for some students of the writer and even the person they would like to become - and still the Authority who gives the grades.

Abstract

The Culture and Commerce of the Short Story is a cultural and historical account of the birth and development of the American short story from the time of Poe. It describes how America - through political movements, changes in education, magazine editorial policy and the work of certain individuals - built the short story as an image of itself and continues to use the genre as a locale within the realm of art where American political ideals can be rehearsed, debated and turned into literary forms. While the focus of this book is cultural, individual authors such as Edgar Allan Poe and Edith Wharton are examined as representative of the phenomenon. As part of its project, this book also contains a history of creative writing and the workshop dating back a century. Andrew Levy makes a strong case for the centrality of the short story as a form of art in American life and provides an explanation for the genre's resurgence and ongoing success.

Abstract

Ce livre n'est pas une histoire de l'invention matérielle des écritures, mais il intéressera tous les amoureux de l'écriture et de sa pratique, amateurs, auteurs, enseignants et formateurs. Au regard de l'histoire littéraire et scolaire, il donne à penser les processus conduisant un jeune scripteur à faire oeuvre de fiction et à accéder au statut d'auteur, même modestement. Au travers d'exemples empruntés à des périodes et à des zones géographiques variées, des chercheurs et des praticiens s'interrogent ici sur ce qui permet de faire naître sous la plume d'un élève ou d'un étudiant - promis ou non à la gloire littéraire - cet objet étrange et quelque peu miraculeux que constitue un texte littéraire. Venus d'horizons divers trop rarement en interaction, didacticiens et spécialistes d'un siècle ou d'un auteur montrent en quoi les exercices d'écritures d'invention, ont pu et peuvent être le lieu d'une véritable invention de l'écriture. C'est pourquoi l'ouvrage proposé examine attentivement les pratiques scolaires d'écriture au miroir de l'auctorialité. Dans quelle mesure les auteurs reconnus ont-ils pu s'inspirer de leurs essais d'écoliers pour créer leur oeuvre ? Mais aussi, en quoi une fréquentation régulière du littéraire et des écrivains peut-elle aider à construire une posture d'auteur à l'école ou dans des ateliers d'écriture ? Comment les institutions, les normes, les recherches ont-elles évolué sur ce sujet ? Bref, où en est-on et que peut-on inventer en matière d'inventions de l'écriture ?

Abstract

Can techniques traditionally thought to be outside the scope of literature, including word processing, databasing, identity ciphering, and intensive programming, inspire the reinvention of writing? The Internet and the digital environment present writers with new challenges and opportunities to reconceive creativity, authorship, and their relationship to language. Confronted with an unprecedented amount of texts and language, writers have the opportunity to move beyond the creation of new texts and manage, parse, appropriate, and reconstruct those that already exist.In addition to
