CI-173 Imagining the Other
In this course we will explore how to enter into new ways of thinking and adopt new perspectives, by reading, discussing and imitating a range of texts (from poems, hybrid-genre pieces, and song lyrics, to photographs, dreams, and ethnographies). Trying to transcend ordinary modes of interpreting the world, trying to imagine what it is like to be someone or something else entirely, immersing ourselves and describing/translating the new experiences, we will then share the writing (and other texts) we produce, workshopping them as a group, and producing a final presentation and collective portfolio.
Prerequisite
