5XÉçÇøÊÓƵ

Sussex Modernism (Q3283)

30 credits, Level 6

Spring teaching

This is a critical-creative writing module, where you’ll experiment with, and analyse, different ways of writing about place.

Sussex is particularly rich in modernist histories. You will interpret, and take inspiration from, experimental literary texts and artistic works created in the region during the 20th and 21st century.

Creative and critical writing will draw on local history research, as well as methods from psychogeography. This will sharpen understandings of what is at stake in representing place today.

 

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 300 hours of work. This breaks down into about 33 hours of contact time and about 267 hours of independent study. The 5XÉçÇøÊÓƵ may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2024/25. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
