- Title
- Writing the unconscious: psychoanalysis for the creative writer
- Author(s)
- Hecq, Dominique
- Abstract
- This paper addresses a set of related questions pertaining to the potential usefulness of psychoanalysis for the creative writer, why write, and what is writing in particular. Further, it teases out what a pedagogy of creative writing as a 'practice of the letter' (Lacan 1965: 193) might be in the specific context of writing workshops aimed specifically at MA students studying at the university.
