Learning outcomes of the course unit

Student view their efforts as writers as a part of a broader context. They are better aware of their position and of advantages and pitfalls. They are to rid themselves of the feeling that originality only starts with their attempts.

What does it mean to be „creator“? What are and how do conditions, forms and the results of creativy change? The relation of society to the creator (and with them and the creator's self-awareness) in various historical periods and situations is different: sometimes the creator's „usefulness“ is a trade, sometimes the creator must fight for their existence. In some cultures the focal point of creativity is common narration, in other is shifts to the expression of one's unique experience. All these challenges, environmnents and concepts have, of course, a significant influence on creativity itself, that is the form and structure of the work.

Mode of study

Cycle of lectures (two semesters) in which individual creating modes are documented through examples of various areas of creative work (across arts' disciplines).

Prerequisites and co-requisites
