The textbook for creative literary universities and masters of philological faculties of universities is the first scientifically based (linguistically, literary, methodically) and creatively tested domestic course of literary mastery, developed by the author in the process of teaching (literary mastery in the Union of writers of Russia, rhetorical poetics in the Literary Institute. A. M. Gorky, in the process creative occupational-training). The methodological basis of the course is the linguo-symbolic concept of literary text as a narrative discourse in conjunction with the system of methods for the allocation of its structural and semantic elements and operational technologies for teaching their creation. The theory of the subject is based on the synthesis of linguistics and literary studies: discourse analysis, text linguistics; hermeneutics, structural semantics; classical and modern rhetoric; stylistics and poetics, theory and history of literature. The methodical complex consists of creative and analytical tasks, texts for analysis, exercises, recommended literature. The course and method have been tested and proved to be effective when working with novice authors. Foreign analogue is widely used in the training of professionals in various fields and specialties of the subject of CREATIVE WRITING. The result of the course - knowledge of the basics of technology of creation of creative verbal texts: artistic, advertising, journalistic, popular science - all those that are built with the help of symbolic symbolic structures. The final competence is defined as verbal artistic creativity (literary creativity based on the knowledge of linguistic, rhetorical, psychological, poetic mechanisms of influence on the reader and interaction with him in the space of the created text, as well as on the possession of the main means of such influence).

Creative writing has been taught as a subject at the tertiatiory level in the USA for many years. In this article the issue of creative writing as subject for a South African degree is discussed. The matter at issue is not whether creative writing has the potential to be a university subject, but rather what such a subject should include. Thus the content of creative writing as university subject and how it should be taught are addressed. The conclusion that is reached is that the main issue at stake is the balance to be struck among literary theory, writing theory and writing practice. Starting in the near future the Potchefstroom University for CHE will be offering a course in creative writing as a degree credit. The subject-matter, possible organization and integration, as well as its specific niche are considered.

The Relationship

The relationship between creative writing and mental wellbeing is the subject of much debate and is often founded on conjecture and supposition. The aim of this small study was to explore the relationship between creative writing and mental wellbeing, with the cooperation of 14 adults who had all been users of mental health services and were involved in a creative writing group in the community. Qualitative data were collected from an interview (with the group facilitator), observation (of the group over a period of four group sessions) and the nominal group technique (to elicit the beliefs and opinions of the group itself). The findings of the study were two-fold. Firstly, there was a tension between the cathartic expression of thoughts and feelings and the production of quality writings and, secondly, the notion of stigmatisation as a result of being a user of mental health services emerged. This explorative study, carried out in an urban Scottish context, indicated a covert relationship between creative writing as a product (rhyme) and its therapeutic by-products which affect an individual's mental wellbeing (reason).

The Subject

AbstractThere is a growing interest in the application of creative writing in the treatment of mental illness. Nonpharmacological approaches have shown that access to poetic, creative language can allow for the verbalisation of illness experiences, as well as for self-expressions that can include other facets of the subject outside of the disease. In particular, creative writing in a safe group context has proven to be of particular importance. In this article, we present a pilot on a creative writing group for young adults in treatment for psychosis. We set the texts and experiences from the writing group in dialogue with Paul Ricoeur’s and Julia Kristeva’s philosophies on poetic language as meaning making and part of subject formation. The focus is on language as materiality and potentiality and on the patient’s inherent linguistic resources as founded in a group dynamic. As a whole, the project seeks to give an increased theoretical and empirical understanding of the potentiality of language and creativity for healing experiences, participation and meaning-making processes among vulnerable people. Furthermore, a practice founded in poetic language might critically address both the general and biomedical understanding of the subject and disease.
