Narrative Silences: Literature, Film, and Book Arts

Taught by

"Every word", in the world of one of Samuel Beckett's characters, "is an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness." In this program, we'll encounter silence in a variety of practices: literature, film, and book arts. Students will practice creative writing and create their own artful books in response to program content and as their own play with the formal and intellectual uses of silence as a theme in narrative arts. We'll spend fall quarter developing a sense of the uses of silence in art from various artists, times, and places.
