230615 Worldbuilding: A Creative Writing Study Group (Stud.AG) (SoSe 2020)

Contents, comment

“Nobody believes me when I say that my long book is an attempt to create a world in which a form of language agreeable to my personal aesthetic might seem real. But it is true.” ― J. R. R. Tolkien

This Study Group follows an intensive creative writing format. Participants will be encouraged to share their own favourite examples of Worldbuilding in prose fiction and other media as impulses for our own explorations of the craft, but the central activity in each session will be our own writing. Everyone is welcome to contribute their own ideas or develop their own materials for worldbuilding exercises and tasks. The study group is open to anyone interested, from those who have never tried their hand at creative writing before to those already deeply engrossed in creating a fictional epos of their own.

The Study Group will operate online until such time as classroom teaching is possible again.

For the Studienleistung, participants should submit six (carefully checked) texts of at least 400 words that they produced in the course of the Study Group in Word or Office (not pdf) format by email to Dr Skorge <patricia.skorge@uni-bielefeld.de>, the mentor of the Study Group, by the end of July 2020.
