“Oficina de Poesia, coordinated by the Anglo-American Studies Group at the
School of Arts and Humanities, University of Coimbra, is published with CES
support (Center for Social Studies – University of Coimbra). In it, poetic
discourse is understood as a discourse kept at the margins of knowledge and as
an exercise in citizenship, inasmuch as it is work intervening in language.”
My
participation in this publication, was the result of an advanced training
course in Creative Writing “destined to those interested in the practice of
writing [not only those who write, but also those who read]. Through a
diversity of approaches and setting forth from illustrative exercises carried
out by the participants, the course sought the promotion of a critical
discussion and/or a reflection regarding the materiality of word, language
models, strategies and instruments of literary creation, the notion of
literacy, vanguards and canons, “author-function”, genealogies of writing,
language policies and literary policies.”
During
the course and the workshops - “Poetry and Creative Writing”, “Feminist
Re-writings: the Fairy Tales” and “Writing Workshop/ Writing in Schools” – I wrote
"Entre
a língua e o papel", "Das tuas orelhas para os meus dedos",
"Cinderela Auto-etnogra(fada), "o G do teu golpe: fibroso maligno",
"Mãe muscipula", "Do avesso".
They are now published
in Oficina de Poesia: revista da palavra e da imagem, nº 14, II
semestral series, March, 2010.
