Creative
work: Strange Tale from a Baisha Studio (Novel)
Exegesis: Poetics
and Politics of Memory.
A narrative
exploration of the emerging political and psycho-geographical spaces (real and
imaginary) within contemporary China; the protagonists within this ‘strange
tale’ allow space for ontological and epistemological speculations on memory,
place, language and transcultural experience. The novel argues for an expanded
boundary of the narrative fiction genre, in regards to a reincorporation
(through a process of ‘creative reading’’) of academic journal articles, photos
and other ‘found objects’ in the form of ‘reimagined experiences’. The exegesis
will examine the politics and poetics of writing memory in two parts: ‘creating
the authorial space as an outsider’ and ‘creating the memory space as poetics
and politics’.

I'd love to know more about the plans for this project and PhD program it may currently be developing in. I have been exploring memory and have been curious learn more about other explorations. You can see some of my explorations here: http://ourfuturememories.com/
Hi
I am doing phd in creative writing so am writing novel set in china as a metaphor for the Chinese governments control of memory and also the general power of memory in searching for truth ... The exegesis will be on the poetics and politics of memory but more specifically on 'a memory's discourse' .... Memory in literature as a homage to Barthes ... Please contact me on projectsdada@mac.com ..I would love to talk to you about me,ory .... Bob
