What’S Creative About Creative Writing? Critical Pedagogy And Transversal Creativity, Erick Piller
What’S Creative About Creative Writing? Critical Pedagogy And Transversal Creativity, Erick Piller
Journal of Creative Writing Studies
As creative writing studies emerges as a field, scholars should interrogate the meanings and possibilities of creativity in the educational contexts of creative writing. This article draws from the ideas of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari to propose the concept of transversal creativity, which emphasizes agency and self-invention through a realized meshing of discourses and identities—ways of speaking, writing, thinking, and being that cut across and run between established discourses and subject positions. Conceived in this light, creativity can bring critical pedagogy into the creative writing course.
