MAS311: Writing Lives
The genre of life writing is pervasive. Telling the stories of our own lives and the lives of others is a signature of the media in our age. This unit takes students on a journey through the various manifestations of life writing from traditional memoir, autobiographies and biographies to newspaper and magazine columns, internet blogs, personal journals, survivor accounts, collective memoirs, historical revisions and fake memoirs. At the same time, students are encouraged to produce their own personal, self-reflective writing, of a standard suitable for publication.
