Event Two: Written Landscape |
An Inter-disciplinary Symposium for Scholars and Writers |
7th-8th July 2007, University of Exeter, Exeter, UK Queen's Building, Lecture Theatre 4.1 |
| This symposium follows on from an event that took place in March 2007 in which we explored some possibilities for interdisciplinary work on landscape and literature. Taking a methodological turn, this symposium focuses on the challenges of researching creative writing and the writers who produce it. |
| As part of a series of events which involve writers and academics, this innovative two-day symposium seeks to bring together scholars from a range of disciplines with the participants in a research project on understanding landscape through creative autoethnography. The symposium will be preceded by a series of writers’ workshops in which participants will be producing and reflecting on their own creative writing. The participants in these writers’ workshops will bring examples of their work to this symposium. On the first day, writers and academics will have the opportunity to explore in depth the processes and practices of creative writing about landscape and self using the creative writing produced in the earlier writers' events. There will also be a hands-on workshop in which we will explore the manuscripts, letters, notebooks and artefacts of several prominent writers from the Southwest. In a parallel session, attendees will have the chance to participate in a free workshop from another AHRC funded project on "Writing the everyday landscape of the home garden" (see below for details). Participants will be able to do both these workshops in the course of the afternoon if they wish. On the second day, a series of academic papers will explore the methodological issues that surround researching landscape, creative writing, and the self. |
