WiSe 24/25: Writing, Feeling, Worlding
Omar Kasmani
Comments
This course embarks from Jeanette Winterson’s idea that writing is an attempt to make a world. A key aim of the course is to learn and explore how the self – intimate, vulnerable, ambivalent – can be a public archive; that it offers a rich mode for thinking through our affective embroilments in the world. In this regard, we will discuss how writing can be a worldmaking project; how it can help us reckon with issues of belonging, experiences of class and queerness, racial or gendered difference, de/coloniality and so on. We will read works that call into question the sharp divides between academic and other forms of writing, theory and poetry, ethnography and fiction. The course is designed to be interactive and workshop-oriented. Participants will engage in short writing exercises in class and will be encouraged to draw on their own experiences of life and learning in research. close
