Learning outcomes
The seminar focuses on supporting the development of personal creativity and critical thinking in aesthetic, mainly literary contexts against the background of the creation of literary-type text structures, in this case poems. Using the method of parallel texts, the participants of the course will be introduced to several selected poetics of Czech and translated poetry, similarly to the first seminar course, ongoing group and individual feedback will be used. In addition to insights into the essence of poetic genres and adequate poetic and rhetorical procedures, insights from contemporary literary theory and the psychology of creativity are continuously included.
Graduates of this follow-up course will enrich their expressive skills, including genre-determined literary stylizations of their own texts, and gain an overview of the basic methods of developing creative and critical thinking. They will learn to use personal and group dynamics in the context of creative work with inspirational stimuli of various kinds, and in individually ongoing text realizations, they will verify their knowledge of literary theory through personal experience.
