Instructor: K Hank Jost
Dates: June 16-Aug 4, Tuesdays, 6pm-8:30pm
Online
Capacity: 15 students
What is it to write a piece of fiction? Beyond the basics of character and event, plot and style, what sorts of considerations ought an author to be making? How can re-investigating the considerations of our craft liberate us to create more truly?
Time, Attention, and Meaning is an online fiction workshop aimed at guiding writers of all levels through a thorough reassessment of their relationship to the object of the text and the depth of the reader. Using the three titular concepts as vectors of interrogation, participating will writers develop an approach to fiction that considers the text, narrative, characters, symbols, and language not strictly in terms of discursive or communitive modes, but as aspects of an object worthy of witness.
Classes will consist of discussion and lecture portions, along with weekly critique sessions. Students will generate three pieces of fiction and will have up to two opportunities to present work to the class.
