Based on practice, and oriented towards the production of writing, this subject focuses on the large field of narrative theory and its essential elements. Students study and practise aspects of narrative, including point of view, temporality, mimesis and diegesis, and story and plot development. A range of narrative theory and writing is studied and discussed, integrating practical work with critical reflection and enabling students to produce a critical essay on theory along with a piece of narrative writing.
