Content
This unit explores the history and techniques of experimental writing, and encourages students to produce experimental writing of their own that challenges conventional modes of literary expression and presentation. Students will be exposed to a variety of historical and contemporary examples (both text-based and multimedia) of experimental writing. Students will engage with the experimental writing practices of various historical avant-garde movements (such as Surrealism and Oulipo), as well as experimental writing practices in the digital realm.
