You are invited to participate in this workshop developed by Billy Clark and Tony Williams in response to the call for expressions of interest and the current Gallery North exhibition programme, WHAT ARE WORDS WORTH?
Pragmatic Stylistics and Creative Practice
How can pragmatic stylistics help us think about creative practice?
Pragmatic stylistics has tended to focus on the experiences of readers, but we are interested in how it can help us understand the experiences of writers and practitioners.
In this session we aim to spark a conversation to explore creativity by asking you to reflect on your experience:
Do you make deliberate choices? Do you work by ‘feel’ or intuition? When and why do you give reasons for your creative decisions?
This session is aimed at writers, researchers and anyone interested in language and communication.
Places are limited. Please e-mail matthew.j.hearn@northumbria.ac.uk to register interest or for a Teams invite for the session.
WHAT ARE WORDS WORTH? brings together practice-based research from Northumbria academics and PGRs, alongside collaborations with invited creative practitioners. The programme includes performances, readings, workshops and exhibited works and profiles research that is centred around the operations and functions of language by asking the question: what are words worth, to you? The exhibition and associated events programme focus on projects and research where language is ‘performed’ or enacted, or practices in which text is mobilised in, and through, the process of the practice research.
WHAT ARE WORDS WORTH? continues until Saturday 11th May
GALLERY OPEN:
