GERM 82.08 Our Home/s – Creative Writing Seminar in the Age of Corona
We are used to being in different places that define different ways of living. Mobility, too, is a part of our existence. During the pandemic, our lives have mostly been reduced to only one place. What does this teach us about loneliness? What is a "home" today? And how do we conceive the concepts of longing and belonging? The goal of this course is to write a collective literary dramatic work that might create a new "public space". Our creative work will be framed by readings of Greek and contemporary plays. The course will also include an introduction to the basic elements of dramatic writing. Taught in German.
