Teaching Workshop: the Public Page. Self-Representation and Creative Writing
A.Y. 2022/2023
Learning objectives
The proposed activity is aimed at presenting narrative writing techniques and practicing them helping the students to develop an awareness of the distinction between private writing and a kind of writing addressing a public audience.
In the first phase of the workshop, students will be provided with tools to distinguish writing modes (private, social, public), literary genres, linguistic and expressive registers. They will reflect on the different forms of storytelling, including hybrid modes (traditional genres and hybrid genres). The students will then be led to production, individually and in teams, on topics identified collectively through the activities proposed by the coordinator. The workshop will essentially take place in presence.
The complete and active participation to the activities proposed during the 20 hours of the workshop will result in the acquisition of 3 cfu.
