Minute Particulars and Global Flows: Place and Interconnectedness in a Creative Nonfiction Class
Minute Particulars and Global Flows: Place and Interconnectedness in a Creative Nonfiction Class
This essay uses an account of working with a particular MA Creative Writing class at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) to reflect on the experience of the module, "Writing on Place and Places." In this course, the focus is on teaching eco-literacy through reading and writing creative nonfiction, and it explores the supposition that paying close attention to the minute particularities of place(s) may be a tool for revealing rather than obscuring eco-social interdependencies.
