Creative Gesture<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prompt<\/strong>:
\nDiscuss the questions you’ve raised. Now, working with your partner, create a creative writing prompt in response to Sky Hopinka’s films and\/or writing. Consider the themes, dimensions, feelings, and textures brought up in class. Type the prompt and send or type on google doc. Discussion: Why did you chose to create this prompt? Please provide rational.<\/p>\n

Result: Asma and Chen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Choose one example of a \u201csecondary text (images, footnotes, concrete poems, video links, etc.)\u201d from the book and create a creative writing piece that speaks to how \u201cmain text\u201d and \u201csecondary text\u201d are defined and the interaction between them.<\/p>\n

You could consider:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Translate the chosen \u201ctext\u201d into another form of expression (e.g. from footnote to concrete poem, from video links to video transcript) that fits with Sky Hopinka\u2019s writing and films<\/li>\n
  2. Rewrite a section of your choice into the Theresa Hak Kyung Cha\/Claudia Rankine\u2019s style and consider where (if anywhere) (part of) of it belongs in Cha\/Rankine\u2019s works.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How does the creative writing process inform your understanding of the main\/secondary texts and the form of a book in general?<\/p>\n

    Result:\u00a0Mary and Kelsey<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Anti-Objects, Or Space Without Path Or Boundary<\/em> by Sky Hopinka is a rumination on the prevalence of the language Chinuk wawa as descriptors of geography and to think of these images of signs and maps beyond their objecthood–as anti-objects. Think of a photograph or image that calcifies something important to your identity and describe it.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Result: Milo and Jess<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Write about a location that makes you feel closer to a part of your identity from which you sometimes feel alienated. You might take inspiration from Dislocation Blues<\/em> or other films by Sky Hopinka.<\/p>\n
