WRITING (L13)  (Dept. Info) Arts & Sciences  (Policies) FL2017 L13 Writing 103 What is Justice? 3.0 Units Lab Required Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: This class seeks to develop the advanced reading, writing, and research skills that students need in a university setting. It uses classical texts of the western tradition to investigate the question of justice and to develop arguable claims through the careful analysis of evidence. The act of crafting arguments, we will assume, is implicated in the question of justice because arguments depend on an ethics of persuasion. We will learn how to practice such an ethics as we improve our ability to understand and utilize four crucial aspects of academic writing: evidence, analysis, argument, and research. Mastering these aspects will make us proficient in the difficult art of judgment. It will allow us to make sense of some of the most powerful literary statements about justice, from "Antigone" to "Crime and Punishment," from Shakespeare to Toni Morrison. This course will satisfy the Writing 1 requirement.

Waits Not Allowed L13 Writing 104 Writing Identity 3.0 Units Lab Required Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: Who are you? This simple question becomes ever more complicated the more closely you examine it. How should you define yourself? By ancestry, hometown, gender, cultural allegiance, ethnic background, nationality, sexual preference, social class, personal history, fashion sense, career aspirations, taste in music, or by some other category? This class will examine the complexities of identity as they have been expressed in a wide variety of modern literary (and some philosophical) writings, in order to develop the advanced reading, writing, and research skills that students need in a university setting. In investigating how people have come to narrate who they are, we will learn about the rhetorical strategies through which their stories are advanced, disputed, and, ideally, accepted. In our examination of identity, we will focus on mastering the crucial aspects of academic writing - evidence, analysis, argument, and research - and how these aspects can help you articulate who you are and where you're coming from.

But what is our role within this visual culture? Are we passive spectators or active participants? How does our personal, social, or cultural situation shape what and how we see and experience the world? Throughout this course, students will explore these (and other) questions by drawing from a wide range of discourse communities and genres, including (but not limited to) art history, psychology, sociology, cultural studies, memoir, nonfiction, and creative writing. Readings and assignments are designed to enhance students' awareness of the relationship between writing and their observations and experiences of the visual world. Essay assignments will enable students to explore the visual world and their personal interest in related subjects (such as art, film, social media, and advertising). The course includes one personal essay, two expository essays, and one argumentative essay, as well as peer review workshops, oral presentation, and revision. Additionally, students will prepare for essay assignments by generating ideas and experimenting with form and style through a series of in-class writing exercises.

L13 Writing 212 Principles of Rhetoric 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: The study of rhetoric, one of the original seven Liberal Arts, is perhaps more relevant today, in a world where diverse opinions reverberate 24/7 from television and the internet, than in ancient times when rhetors invented arguments to help people choose the best course of action when they disagreed about important political, religious, or social issues. How do we make our voices heard? How can we invent and present compelling written discourse. This course will introduce students to common rhetorical principles and to the disciplinary history of rhetoric and compositional studies. Assignments in this class include rhetorical exercise in invention and craft, imitations, and varied compositions, ranging from the personal to critical, from the biographical to argumentative. We will examine rhetorical principles (audience, context, kairos, exigency, ethos, pathos, logos, and so forth) that are employed, for example, not only in literary analysis but in law, politics, education, and science. We will aim for a mastery of craft and a refinement of thought. Pre-Req: Writing 1.

L13 Writing 314 Topics in Composition: Writing and the Law 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: Most legal practice consists not of fine oratory but rather of great writing. However, it is not only lawyers who need to be able to incorporate the law into their professional practice: in this course, we will look at the many different types of writing in and about the law to see how the principles of rhetoric must be used to persuade in different ways depending on the writer's purpose. We will learn the skills necessary to adapt the framing of our writing to its audience as we think about how we might persuade a judge, a lay client, a community, a committee or other professionals. We will consider the psychological effects of our writing and how we seek to persuade our readers not only with the strength of our reasoning but with the power of our emotional appeal to their particular interests. We will learn how to think and write about the law in a range of circumstances as assignments cover writing for business about implications of laws, reporting about a law for the popular press, investigating a legal issue and explaining a law's ramifications as well as attempting to encourage support for a particular law; this is not, however, a technical legal writing course. Readings will be drawn from statutes and judgments but more commonly from academic, business and popular examples of writing on the interpretation of laws governing topical concerns. Issues to be dealt with may include the extent of police/citizens' rights to protect themselves (so-called Stand Your Ground laws); rights to refuse medical treatment (Cruzan v Director, Missouri Dept of Health); religious groups' rights to discriminate (The Religious Freedom Restoration Act); Open Carry laws (St. Louis Zoo v Smith); immigration proposals such as The Dream Act; reform of mandatory prison sentences.

L13 Writing 352 INTRODUCTION TO SCREENWRITING 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: SPECIAL NOTE: Admission by wait-list only. Preference will be given to declared Film & Media Studies AND English majors and minors. Writers will explore the various elements, structures and styles used in crafting a motion picture screenplay. They will experience this process as they conceive, develop and execute the first act of a feature-length script. Writers will create a screenplay story, present an outline for class discussion and analysis, then craft Act One. Writers will be encouraged to consult with the instructor at various stages: concept, outline, character and scene development and dialogue execution. While the students fashion their screenwriting independently, the class will also explore the general elements of THEME, GENRE, and VOICE. A more specific examination of mechanics, the nuts and bolts of story construction, plotting, pacing, etc. will follow to support the ongoing writing process. In-class exercises will aid the writer in sharpening skills and discovering new approaches to form and content. Writers' work will be shared and discussed regularly in class. Screening of film scenes and sequences will provide students with concrete examples of how dramatic screenwriting evolves once it leaves the writer's hands.

L13 Writing 373 Cultural Journalism 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: In the Internet Age, journalism has migrated from traditional, or "legacy" institutions (book publishers, film & television production companies, newspapers) to digital versions of the same thing, however the craft remains tied to its legacy models. The migration online has endangered certain ecologies of journalistic practice - in particular, arts journalism, especially criticism, the long form investigative essay, and foreign reporting. The first two of these three fit under what I describe as cultural journalism, and our purpose in this class is to practice what have been Cultural Journalism's forms, at the same time as we inquire into the modes and genres that are its future.

In its real-life context, writing always interacts with a community, engaging a defined audience to create an intended effect. So writing always pertains to the polis, and thus, writing is inherently political. In this class, we will focus on political writing by writers who are not politicians, that is to say, official experts on the polis. Foregoing public policy memoranda and economic analyses, we will look at how journalists, grassroots organizers, and creative writers have consciously written to intervene in the affairs of their communities despite their outsider status. Using rhetorical insight and logical analysis, we will examine how writers craft works that inspire and move audiences in several genres: essay, polemic, journalism, and satire. Readings will include Marx and Engels's "Communist Manifesto," Audre Lorde's essays on feminism, Hunter Thompson's gonzo journalism, and the satire of Samantha Bee. Student writing will apply our lessons about the interaction of audience and purpose in order to express political opinions as effectively as possible to the appropriate audience.

In this writing course, we will examine obsession and its role in poetry. Balancing a study of poets who have navigated, channeled, and discovered their obsessions through writing, we will explore what it means to be obsessed, periodic and lifelong obsessions, how research can help develop, temper and navigate those obsessions, and how the resulting poems stand out from other approaches. We will study a wide range poets, such as Zbigniew Herbert, Nathaniel Mackey, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Maggie Nelson, Solmaz Sharif, Matt Rasmussen, Anne Carson, Harryette Mullen and many others, as models to create writing born of intense focus.

L13 Writing 440 Critic as Writer 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: This course's premise is that critical writing--about fiction, poetry, visual art, and culture generally--is a genre capable of as full a range of expression as any, as potentially artful as any; that at its best, criticism is art. The course will be part survey, part workshop. The workshop aspect will entail writing two different works within the genre, chosen from among the various types of critical writing we survey. For the survey aspect, we'll read book reviews to manifestos to book-length poetic-critical hybrids. The goal is not really compare-and-contrasting but rather considering each form within its rhetorical context and seeing what we can learn. We might look at how a single writer handles various subjects, and at how various writers handle a single subject. Writers likely to be read include Susan Howe, James Baldwin, Dave Hickey, Anne Carson, William Carlos Williams, Susan Sontag, James Wood, E. A. Poe, and Viktor Shklovsky. We will definitely read Roland Barthes.

Students can apply in the spring of their first year, to begin the internship the following fall. The intern chosen will work directly with Danielle Dutton, the press's editor, on mutually agreed upon projects that take into account the intern's interests and strengths. In general, however, the internship is designed to give students a wide range of experience with literary publishing, and so will likely involve a mix of editorial tasks (e.g., reviewing submissions, writing reader's reports, copyediting manuscripts in layout), marketing, design, and book production and distribution. The intern will also have opportunities to represent the press publicly, including at the annual AWP conference (travel and hotel expenses will be covered), and his or her name will appear on the press's masthead. Interested students should submit a letter of application and CV to Professor Dutton (ddutton@wustl.edu) and Program Director David Schuman (dschuman@wustl.edu) no later than March 15 of the spring semester of their first year. Prerequisite: Completion in good standing of the first year of the MFA in Creative Writing and accepted application.

L13 Writing 531 Craft of Fiction: Unoriginal Genius 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: Unoriginal Genius, which borrows its title from the Marjorie Perloff book, will be a craft course devoted to reading and writing various forms of intertextual fiction involving appropriation. We'll consider a wide variety of contemporary fiction (as well as some poems and a couple of plays) which can be roughly divided into four groups, two of which primarily appropriate story elements, as well as style and voice--adaptations and inhabitations (if an adaptation lives within and transforms the house of a prior text, an inhabitation perhaps builds or discovers new rooms)--and two of which primarily appropriate actual text and language--condensations (new fictions constructed as radically abridged versions of prior texts) and assemblages. We'll also consider "uncreative writing," in Kenneth Goldsmith's term; we'll draw connections to appropriation theory and practice in the visual arts; and we'll discuss evolving notions of authorship and personal expression in a contemporary, digital landscape. Authors will likely include Caroline Bergvall, Kate Bernheimer, Jorge Luis Borges, Angela Carter, Aimé Césaire, Lydia Davis, Kate Durbin, Danielle Dutton, Goldsmith, Shelley Jackson, Jonathan Lethem, Jean Rhys, and Tom Stoppard. But this will be a writing course, first and foremost, with workshops throughout the semester. Preference is given to graduate students in the MFA program.

What is the difference between a sequence and a long poem? When does the sequence become narrative--or is always, in some way, a kind of narrative? To what extent can any shaped book of poems be considered a sequence? Much of our reading will be grounded in the pre-contemporary, and will include the work of such poets as Shakespeare, Donne, Blake, Whitman, Crane, Eliot, H.D., Meredith, Niedecker, Stevens, Hughes, Lowell, Berryman, Plath, and Brooks. Among the living, we'll look at the work of such poets as Graham, Hill, Dove, Giscombe, Gluck, Rich, Carson, Collins, Bidart, Palmer, Hejinian, and others.

Texts will include works by Brian Doyle, Kim Chinquee, Lia Purpura, Jorge Luis Borges, Donald Barthelme, Lydia Davis, Deb Olin Unferth, Naomi Shihab Nye, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Yusanari Kawabata, Thomas Bernhard, and Dinty W. Moore. All students will be required to write a mix of fiction and nonfiction. Writing, discussion, workshop, and revision will culminate in students producing a chapbook of their own collected micro-prose.
