Summit On the Creative-Critical and Workshop on Creative-Critical Teaching
We are pleased to announce two events being organised by UEA and the Institute of English Studies as part of a new collaboration on the creative-critical.
The first, to take place on Saturday March 30th from 10 - 5 at the Institute of English Studies in London, is a workshop on creative-critical teaching. Speakers will discuss ways of combining creativity and criticism in teaching at academic, and also school and extramural level. It is free to attend but pre-registration is requested:

The second, to take place on Saturday June 1st from 10:45 to 6:30 at the National Centre for Writing in Norwich, is a major summit entitled 'On the Creative-Critical', intended to provide an opportunity for writers and teachers across Britain to meet and discuss the different forms of creative-critical work that are emerging. Tickets are subsidised at £20 standard and £10 concession.

Both events are attempts to ponder the questions raised by T. S. Eliot in 'The Function of Criticism': 'If so large a part of creation is really criticism, is not a large part of what is called "critical writing" really creative?' The last decade or so has seen a steady erosion of any sharp distinction between the 'creative' and the 'critical', and of the borders marked out by each of these not wholly satisfactory terms. Can criticism itself aspire to being creative? Does creative writing have a critical force? Or should we dispense with these terms altogether?
