This subject focuses on writing across borders. It facilitates story production that crosses different cultures and worldviews, and creative and critical approaches informed by writing techniques involving image, structure, voice, style, theme, and the fact-to-fiction transition. Students will attempt the following border-crossing approaches: cross-cultural writing, magical realism, metafiction, creative non-fiction, cross-platform writing. They will critically reflect on the aesthetic, ethical, political implications/underpinnings of the creative process: how the self negotiates borders to write the other.
