THIS COURSE IS TAUGHT IN BUENOS AIRES



This course will center on the poetry and short stories written by the participating students, who will present to the class their texts, to be discussed, in an open fashion, by all the members of the group, in terms of quality, sense, sensibility, creative ability and capacity to convey a forceful and/or beautiful expression. All texts are to be written in Spanish (no translations from other languages are accepted). Texts should have a maximum of 2 pages and each participant is responsible for bringing photocopies of texts for each student in the class, the teacher included. Discussions will aim at creating a final version of the originally presented text, to be considered the best possible written poem or short story that can be produced. The class will center on cleaning the text from any banalities and shortcomings that are as objectively as possible encountered. (1 unit)



This course is cross-listed with Literature.
