Towards a Poetics of Creative Writing
Author: Dominique Hecq
Publisher: Multilingual Matters
ISBN: 1783093242
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
This book offers an in-depth study of the poetics of creative writing as a subject in the dramatically changing context of practice as research, taking into account the importance of the subjectivity of the writer as researcher. It explores creative writing and theory while offering critical antecedents, theoretical directions and creative interchanges. The book narrows the focus on psychoanalysis, particularly with regard to Lacan and creative practice, and demonstrates that creative writing is research in its own right. The poetics at stake neither denotes the study or the techniques of poetry, but rather the means by which writers formulate and discuss attitudes to their work.
