It will contrast this heterogeneous category with other kinds of writing such as the ‘functional&#039; writing found in text-books and reportage. Through an analysis of various techniques of writing - in master-texts as well as students&#039; own productions - the course will explore why and how literary texts continue to be a prime source of emotional and intellectual stimulation across cultures. As far as possible, the course will focus on contemporary writing, given that writers write in the ‘here and now&#039; even as they imagine the future or return to past memories. Selected readings will be used to focus students&#039; attention on that most difficult of problems: to acquire a style of writing that makes a writer&#039;s ‘voice&#039; both unique and universal. Finally, students will be required to write in some genre(s) of their choice. These genres will include the classic areas of poetry, fiction and play-writing but will neither exclude non-fiction genres like the essay and biography nor forms of writing thrown up by the ‘new media&#039; such as blogs, photo-essays and narrative-writing for story-boards and video-games.</div>
