Abstract Translation as Writing Across Languages: Samuel Beckett and Fakir Mohan Senapati — This paper attempts to demonstrate that translation cannot be divorced from writing, that originality and creativity are not characteristic only of the latter, that translation is not mere reproduction. This is developed in relation to Samuel Beckett's translations of his own works and five translations of a passage of a late nineteenth-century Indian novel. In the case of Samuel Beckett, translation is seen as a way both to begin and to continue the writing process, a way for him to explore one of the principal themes of his work, the relation of writing to language(s). In that of the five translations into English of a passage from the Oriya novel by Fakir Mohan Senapati, Chha Mana Atha Guntha, the differences between them are examined for the purpose of showing the extent to which the practice of translation is always an act of creative writing.

Practice Development

Background: This paper discusses a writing for recovery narrative practice development project based on Deleuzian theoretical principles. Creative writing was based on a formulation of ‘recovery’ as transcending the social invalidation, discrimination and abusive effects of institutional psychiatry. Aims and objectives: To provide a safe space for participants to explore the creative writing process To reduce participants’ anxieties about creative writing To enable a supportive environment to explore and discover individual writing voices To help participants work towards recovery and personal and social meaning through creativewriting Methods: By drawing on principles from the humanities and the use of creative writing techniques we were able to harness the individual and collective creative writing process. The aim was to facilitate the development of individual and group re-storying recovery identities, removed from perceived or actual institutional mental health expectations. Results: The principal output from the group was the publication of an anthology of participants’ work. New friendships were made in a community of recovery writers in the process of re-storying identities, and there was evidence of growth in participants’ self- and social confidence, supported by testimony from their significant others. Conclusions: Recovery community resilience and individual self-confidence can be developed through the medium of creative writing. It enables participants to explore and develop new, more viable identities in a safe space, sharing and working through experiences of social injustice, anger, fear and betrayal. Implications for practice: A rejection of values-based or evidence-based practice allows for a revised understanding ofrecovery, paving the way for narrative-based approaches As a model of such a revised understanding, Writing for Recovery enables participants to explorenew, more viable identities and come to terms with traumatic past events A challenge for mental health staff embracing Writing for Recovery is to acknowledge that onestrand of participants’ traumatic past is institutional psychiatric treatment

Creative Writing Programs

Eric Bennett examines O’Connor’s legacy in an influential but often overlooked venue: the creative writing workshop. Bennett argues that creative writing programs have benefitted from O’Connor’s success story, but they have also mischaracterized her method as a writer. Bennett demonstrates how manuals and instruction in creative writing laud the practice of not knowing where one’s fiction is going during the writing process, and often some of O’Connor’s words get marshaled in support of this approach. Bennett claims that such uses of O’Connor both distort who she was and demonstrate how impoverished current theories of fiction often are.
