Advanced Seminar
S-Lit. Stud.: Periods-Genres-Concepts: The Bountiful Constraint
Jordan Schnee
Comments
How does constrained writing paradoxically open up language? What overt and covert strategies have authors used to create work that is highly formal but also highly playful? The Paris-based literary movement OuLiPo has been the headquarters of constrained writing since its inception in the middle of the last century. The group is well-known for writers like Georges Perec and Italo Calvino but has also had a considerable presence in English, from members like Harry Matthews and Ian Monk to the Feminist OuLiPo collective, Foulipo. In this seminar we will focus on OuLiPo and OuLiPo-adjacent output in English. Students should acquire Oulipo: A Primer of Potential Literature edited by Warren F. Motte.
