Description

This subject is a laboratory in thinking, writing, the senses and experiment. Students may compose in any medium they choose: fiction, non-fiction, screen-writing, graphic or multimedia, poetry, philosophical and ficto-critical writing or other innovative forms. The laboratory is an environment of experimental elements working towards the networking of concepts, senses and practices. The group's collaborative study offers a context in which students may choose to produce individual original works of an intellectual, creative or hybrid nature. A lecture series positions a series of core themes from cultural, critical and literary debate, stressing themes which address how we conceive contemporary experience in terms of the senses, media representations, the environment and in relation to key questions in critical, philosophical and art practice. Dissemination of student work is envisaged as a core part of the laboratory's creative study and students present their final work in a published, electronically published, screening, exhibition, seminar or performance context.
