Abstract

Finding voice, expression, form. We will write poems through imitation/combat with canonical poems used as models. We will experiment with metaphor and imagery, song-patterns, reflection, story-telling (and its detours) in poems. We will learn the art and politics of formal verse, and how to find alternative ways of making sense(s) through the use of diverse sources and combinations. Classes will be in English and writing can be in English and / or Portuguese.

Victorian Like Us – Programme

Narrative Medicine Summer School

The Narrative Medicine Summer School is offered by the Project in Medical Humanities at the School of Arts and Humanities – University of Lisbon/University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies, being an educational and university extension activity. It aims to promote an encounter between nationally and internationally renowned experts, students and professionals in areas such as healthcare, humanities, and social sciences who are interested in this emerging interdisciplinary field. Its main goal is to maximize the potential offered by the humanities, namely by literary methodologies and devices, in humanizing the relationship between care providers and patients, fostering self-knowledge and other-awareness and seeking an overall improvement in healthcare.

Flash Workshop: How to Brainstorm on a Poem

On May 13^th, Tuesday, from 3 to 4 p.m., in room 5.2, WILL Lab’s team will be conducting a flash workshop on several fundamental brainstorming techniques (mind mapping and freewriting). By using William Carlos Williams’ poem “The Red Wheelbarrow” as a starting point, we hope to provide all participants with useful knowledge, easily appliable during the process of writing. All University of Lisbon’s students, who wish to work on creative strategies for generating ideas for a text, are welcome.
