Writing / text creation (B1)

Teacher: Antoine Boute

objectives and content

1/ Plural writing practices in the form of writing situations will combine documents and writing. Perspectives on writing devices from a reflective, theoretical and conceptual point of view. This is the “theoretical” part of the course, which introduces the practical exercises.

2/ Writing proposals, which have the function of both exploring different techniques and modalities of writing, but also making it possible to sharpen a critical and reflective sense in relation to personal artistic approaches as well as to encourage people to identify ideas. abstract issues in relation to questions arising from concrete practices. These exercises will result in various edited forms.

3/ Exploration of other language practices, mainly linked to orality. The organization of readings and vocal performances will be an opportunity to not compartmentalize reflection and language creation on the side of the text.

Develop a writing that seeks and invents forms for an inscription in the world that makes sense, emancipated from deadly formatting, singular, relevant (in its possible impertinence), engaged, troubled, worried, cunning, attentive.

To do this, explore various forms of writing, their issues, the possibilities they offer to thought, action, interactions, sensitivity, relationships with the world. Refine a methodology of concern, of attention, of luminous concern, a care given to imaginative sensitivity and sensitive imagination, in tight adequacy with the world, its worlds, the delicacy of any situation.

Experiment with creative reading practices, consider the act of reading as a performative practice, develop a “reading corporeality” which explores our modalities of attention. Carry out a happy deconstruction of the relationship to writing, both at the formal, sociological, ecological, political, poetic and ethical levels. Carry out an experienced reflection, put into action, about “what” writing can do, about its performative devices.

Ecology of flows of languages, worlds, movements, sounds, oralities: caring for rhythms and their various resonances.

Micro-politics of faults, troubles, fragilities, concerns, various sensitivities, or how to transform them into powers, via various writing, textual and/or oral devices.
