ENGL 26007. CREATIVE NONFICTION IN THE ARCHIVE The central project of this class will be to create nonfictional work with historical materials. Students will compose poems and essays and will be free to explore other media such as scripts, podcasts, videos, slideshows, and presentations. We will use the concept of the archive expansively, working with College of Woosters own special collections, The Community History Archive of the Wayne County Public Library, the librarys digital databases, the internet, personal and familial histories, oral history and/or ethnography methods, and so forth. Students will read various critical and creative approaches to this sort of nonfiction, potentially including work from M. NourbeSe Philip, Susan Howe, Caroline Bergvall, Layli Long Soldier, Honoree Fanonne Jeffers, Bernadette Mayer, Brandon Shimoda, Douglas Kearney, Tobi Haslett, Renee Gladman, John Berger, Roland Barthes, various podcasts, Zora Neale Hurston, Aime Cesaire, David Foster Wallace, and the like.
