Walking in New York: Multi-genre, Multi-media Writing
Schools of Public Engagement: Creative Writing
CRN: 17103
Credits: 3
New York is a great walking city, and a uniquely urban form of literature has grown out of the activity of flanerie, or, aimless strolling. In this course, students plan and document a series of walks, creating their own literary and autobiographical map of New York—a personal poetics of space. We create a poetics of walking, of ethnography, and of autobiography, mapping discoveries of self and others through writing. These voyages and readings provide the occasion to write a series of texts, documenting our walks through New York and our responses to the literature of flanerie. Walking becomes a creative act. Students are also encouraged to explore the intersections between writing and other media/art forms, such as performance, digital media, visual art, film and sound as we document the unfolding and creation of our own New York landscapes
