Abstract:
Developing an original idea into a finished feature film script is often a time-consuming and highly collective process. It is also a learning process. Writing a script is about constantly learning more about what one wants to tell and the best way to tell it. This knowledge can, for instance, come from research, conversations with creative collaborators, or improvisations with actors. In current Danish feature filmmaking this exploration of the material often takes place in close collaboration between the director and the scriptwriter (and sometimes also the producer) who together learn more about their initial idea for a film and about the best way to meet the challenge of writing the script. This article analyzes the collaborative process in the idea development and scriptwriting phase between director Annette K. Olesen and scriptwriter Kim Fupz Aakeson based on a qualitative case study of their work in developing an initial idea into the feature film Lille soldat (Danish premiere November 14, 2008), viewing their work as a creative, collaborative learning process of continuous problem finding and problem solving. Drawing on a study of problem finding in art by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and Jacob W. Getzels (1976) and theories from the field of Creative Problem Solving (CPS), the article explores the different stages and approaches of Olesen and Aakeson in their writing process and concludes how they go about learning more about their initial idea and why they embark on this problem finding and problem solving quest together. The case study shows how external parameters like institutional acceptance-finding and financing issues influence when to move from one stage in the scriptwriting process to another, and how a major reason for collaborating is having complementary skills that ensure on the one hand not being stuck in the mess- and data-finding stages of understanding an idea for too long, and on the other not moving on to a problem statement and generating ideas too quickly.

Abstract:
From the teacher’s perspective, English language enrichment is more applicable and easier when using videos, resulting in a surge in the student’s receptivity. This paper attempts to bridge the gap by using silent videos to stimulate creative writing with a constructivism paradigm. Conducted in an Engineering college in the rural part of South India, two classes with 60 students each (both male and female) from first-year engineering (heterogeneous classes) at CEFR B1 level were chosen for the study. The researchers were the course instructors themselves, with fifteen-minute silent sports videos used for both groups. A sports video with audio was used for the controlled group, whereas one without audio was used for the target group. The controlled group tape-scripted the video content as they listened, while the experimental group created the script for the video on their own. The scripts were assessed for language quality based on vocabulary usage, sentence formation, and choice of words. The assessment details demonstrated that the experimental group students had demonstrated better scriptwriting skills compared to the control group students, who had relied on the audio and tried to paraphrase the words they had heard, leading to unclear scripting. This research showed that silent videos also help in grasping the English language by ESL learners, especially in creative writing and script drafting, evidentially proving that silent videos stimulate autonomous writing among students as they do not depend on audio for tape scripting. It further enhanced their writing skills with creative ability, and, further, the students preferred silent videos over audio videos due to better outcomes.

Abstract:
The paper presents a different vision for personalization of the user’s stay in a cultural heritage digital library that models services for personalized content marking, commenting and analyzing that doesn’t require strict user pr ofi le, but aims at adjusting the user’s individual needs. The solution is borrowed from real work and studying of traditional written content sources (incl. books, manuals), where the user mainly performs activities such as underlining the important parts of the content, writing notes and inferences, selecting and marking zones of their interest in pictures, etc. In the paper a special attention is paid to the ability to execute learning analysis allowing different ways for the user to experience the digital library content with more creative settings.

Abstract:
The use of narrative has become increasingly popular in the public health, community development, and education fields. Via emotionally engaging plotlines with authentic, captivating characters, stories provide an opportunity for participants to be carried away imaginatively into the characters’ world while connecting the story with their own lived experiences. Stories have been highlighted as valuable tools in transformative learning. However, little published literature exists demonstrating applications of stories in group-based transformative learning curricula. This paper describes the creation of a narrative-based transformative learning tool based on an analysis of Nicaraguan adolescents’ meaning-making around intimate partner violence (IPV) in their creative narratives. In collaboration with a Nicaraguan organization, US researchers analyzed a sample of narratives ( n = 55; 16 male-authored, 39 female-authored) on IPV submitted to a 2014 scriptwriting competition by adolescents aged 15–19. The data were particularly timely in that they responded to a new law protecting victims of gender-based violence, Law 779, and contradicted social-conservative claims that the Law 779 destroys family unity. We incorporated results from this analysis into the creation of the transformative learning tool, separated into thematic sections. The tool’s sections (which comprise one story and three corresponding activities) aim to facilitate critical reflection, interpersonal dialogue, and self- and collective efficacy for social action around the following themes derived from the analysis: IPV and social support; IPV and romantic love; masculinity; warning signs of IPV; and sexual abuse. As a collaboration between a public health research team based at a US university and a Nicaraguan community-based organization, it demonstrates the potential in the age of increasingly smooth electronic communication for novel community–university partnerships to facilitate the development of narrative-based tools to support transformative learning.

Abstract:
The article deals with the emergence, development and blooming of the letter genre in European cultural history until the middle of the 20th century. The oldest letters that have survived to our time date from the 3rd-2nd centuries BC and are written in cuneiform. The first major heyday of the literary genre was in the time of ancient Rome, when both politicians and philosophers exchanged letters, but also several writers used the letter form in their works. The so-called canon of letter writing was formed in the Middle Ages, when the art of letter writing began to be taught at the universities. In the 17th century, letter writing manuals and private letters began to be published in books, and in the 18th century it was already very common. The growing popularity of communication by letters is also shown by the fact that in the middle of the 18th century, when English writer Samuel Richardson published three novels in the form of letters, the epistolary novel was born. In the epistolary novels, for the first time the world of feelings and thoughts of the characters was under observation. At the end of the 19th century, communication by letters increased drastically due to the wider spread of literacy throughout Europe. The writing of letters intensified during the First and Second World Wars, which is considered the last major blooming of the letter genre. This fact is also confirmed by studies on the development of the written communication tradition in Estonia. The article also provides a brief overview about the research and publication of private correspondences in Estonia. In the middle of the 20th century, the Estonian Literary Museum began to systematically deal with the autobiographical heritage (incl. letters) of those persons who had a prominent position in cultural history. In 1984, the serial publication Litteraria: eesti kirjandusloo allikmaterjale (Litteraria: Estonian Literary History Source Materials; since 2005 Litteraria: Estonian Cultural History Source Materials) was founded with the aim of making correspondences, but also various biographical notes, photographs, etc., available to the public. Litteraria has never been published regularly; nevertheless, by 2023 the series had published already twenty-eight issues, which are now also available online (https://www.kirmus.ee/et/teadus/e-litteraria). In 1998, Tuna: Ajalookultuuri ajakiri (The Past: Journal of Historical Culture) came out on the landscape of social science and humanities journals. The new journal included the rubric “Estonian Cultural History Archives”, which allowed the researchers to regularly publish archival sources with commentary four times a year. Over the years, several voluminous text-critical publications of correspondences have been published in parallel with the issues of Litteraria and Tuna, for example, “Akadeemia kirjades” (“Academy in letters”, Olesk 1997), “Minu lamp põleb” (“My lamp is on”, Annuk & Metste 2015), and “Kallid krantsid: Kirjad vangilaagritest ja asumiselt Siberis 1946–1954” (“Dear friends: Letters from prison camps and deportation sites in Siberia 1946–1954”, Kross 2021). The published correspondences have a different historical background, but the common feature of all the authors of the letters is their close connection with Estonian literature. Several historians, literary scholars, cultural historians, folklorists, and philosophers have used private correspondences as source material for their in-depth studies. The analysis of scientific articles of the last decades shows that letters are useful primarily as a source of information that helps to open the hidden aspects of some cultural-historical phenomenon or historical event, for example, the world wars. In addition, different aspects of epistolary practices are also analysed, such as the peculiarities of means of expression, communicativeness or intersubjectivity of letters, etc. Until the turn of the century, prominent creative figures in Estonian cultural history dominated among the authors of the letters used in the studies. In recent decades, a new trend has emerged which shows that researchers have begun to pay more attention to, for example, the love letters and war letters of ordinary people, as well as letters in which the writer shares with the addressee various information about joys and worries of everyday life.

Abstract:
The LdoD Archive: Collaborative Archive of the Book of Disquiet was published on the web in December 2017. Over the past four years we have organized many workshops in different settings, aimed at encouraging appropriations of the reading, editing, and writing functionalities of the platform. The virtual editing tools, in particular, have been a major source of experiments. These include, for instance, annotated editions, personal anthologies, staged readings, performance pieces, scriptwriting for video, virtual editions based on social media, and automatically generated editions. Through interfaces designed for exploring the multiple facets of Fernando Pessoa’s Book of Disquiet, the role-playing principle of the system has been adopted in creative and critical activities that bring the text into diverse environments. This article describes these resituated and playful textual practices as a living model of the literary field.

Abstract:
From the Cradle to the Grave: A Novel and Exegesis is concerned with maternal infanticide. This is, however, a somewhat inflammatory and perhaps misleading statement. While it is concerned with the infanticidal mother, she is in this instance largely an icon, a way into an exploration of diverse aspects of motherhood, especially negative ideas about mothers and mothering. It would be more precise to say that this thesis is concerned with the paradoxical Childless Mother. Both the novel and exegesis circle around ideas about parenting that seek to confront traditional assumptions about the connections and differences between good and bad mothering. The exegesis - From the Cradle to the Grave - does this through a discussion of various aspects of culture, which produce and are produced by mothering practices. In particular it engages with childcare literature, medical and legal engagements with women and children, and myth and fairy tales. The novel - The Bone Flute - is another exploration of the paradoxical nature of motherhood. While the exegesis seeks to draw together some of the material and historical truths of mothering, the novel addresses another kind of truth; through various narrative devices it seeks a different type of engagement with the lived realities of women. Both texts ask questions about the nature of maternity and its relationship to femininity. Both attempt to come to terms with the paradoxical status of mothers without children. The exegesis is an explication of the research processes, the reflections and considerations that preceded and accompanied the writing of The Bone Flute. It seeks to make explicit the tangled web of reading and thinking that informed the writing of a novel - from initial impulse to final draft. The exegesis is not, however, an explicit explanation of how the novel was written. Rather the two texts existed (and exist) symbiotically - each inciting and reflecting upon the other.

Abstract:
The usage of the mobile Internet has increased tremendously within the last couple of years, and thereby the vision of accessing information anytime, anywhere has become more realistic and a dominant design principle for providing content. However, this study challenges this paradigm of unlimited and unrestricted access, and explores the question whether constraints and restrictions can positively influence the motivation and enticement of mobile users to engage with location-specific content. Restrictions, such as a particular time or location that gives a user access to content, may be used to foster participation and engagement, as well as to support content production and to enhance the user’s experience. In order to explore this, a Mobile Narrative and a Narrative Map have been created. For the former, the access to individual chapters of the story was restricted. Authors can specify constraints, such as a location or time, which need to be met by the reader if they want to read the story. This concept allows creative writers of the story to exploit the fact that the reader’s context is known, by intensifying the user experience and integrating this knowledge into the writing process. The latter, the Narrative Map, provides users with extracts from stories or information snippets about authors at relevant locations. In both concepts, a feedback channel was also integrated, on which location, time, and size constraints were imposed. In a user-centred design process involving authors and potential readers, those concepts have been implemented, followed by an evaluation comprising four user studies. The results show that restrictions and constraints can indeed lead to more enticing and engaging user experiences, and restricted contribution opportunities can lead to a higher motivation to participate as well as to an improved quality of submissions. These findings are relevant for future developments in the area of mobile narratives and creative writing, as well as for common mobile services that aim for enticing user experiences.

Abstract:
Retaining the Past is a practice-based research project comprising a creative artefact, ‘The Clarity of Hindsight’, and an accompanying exegesis. The artefact aims to provide an authentic account of the social conditions of life in the late eighteenth century around provincial Oxfordshire, unfashionable Southwark and remote Cornwall. These accounts are based on sound historical research told not by way of conventional historical writing but via fictionalised, albeit ‘true-to-life’, stories of the lived experiences of the characters. ‘The Clarity of Hindsight’ demonstrates that sound historical research can be told imaginatively and legitimately as story, and the exegesis is my defence of that statement. The exegesis validates the artefact through two inter-related steps: an exploration of the creative mechanisms of the artefact itself and an overview of the landscape of historical fiction. It identifies the dangers and challenges of doing history through story, and offers some thoughts for potential future research.

Abstract:

This dissertation comprises a creative work, The Ulfang Tower, and an exegesis of that creative work. The creative work is situated within the area of literary fiction: more specifically it is a novel in the fantasy genre and its subgenres of myth, romance (in the medieval sense of the term), high fantasy, and swords and sorcery in its modern sense. The exegesis will locate the creative work within the history of the genres it is contributing to and the ideological affiliations it shares with /deviates from in respect to those genres as well as providing a detailed critique of the novel itself in terms of such devices as narrative point of view, characterisation and style.

Full text
Abstract:
Since the turn of the millennium, a growing number of scholars and critics have documented a post-postmodern ethos in cultural aesthetics. An important contributor to the study of this trend is Raoul Eshelman, whose theory of ‘performatism’ offers a systematic, monist approach to these developments in literature, art, architecture and film. In his analysis of literary texts, Eshelman identifies and theorises a new type of narrative, one which does not entirely abandon postmodern strategies of irony and scepticism, but which seeks to turn such strategies toward outcomes that emphasise stability of meaning, unity, belief in the fictional world, and transcendence leading to narrative closure. In addition to under-representation in the scholarly literature to date, performatism as a framework for creative practice remains unexplored, and a systematised performatist analysis of crime writing is yet to be produced. This project seeks to address these gaps in creative and critical practice through the production of an original crime novella and exegesis, examining and extending performatist aesthetics and theory. In order to achieve these outcomes, a novel, qualitative methodology is implemented. Performatism’s reading strategy is ‘reverse-engineered’ and its literary devices adopted as a creative writing strategy for the novella. Performatism is further employed as an analytical tool with which to illuminate the performatist strategies and techniques deployed in the novella. Bringing the technical aspects of creative writing into focus, the exegetical component of the research offers a tenable method for testing the feasibility of a contemporary, alternative perspective in literary aesthetics and theory to take crime writing beyond poststructural and postmodern pluralistic approaches. In so doing, the exegesis also suggests a new way of thinking about the creative-critical nexus that links the disparate fields of creative writing and critical practice.

Full text
Abstract:
The project comprises a novel with the working title, General Yueh Fei, and an accompanying exegesis. The novel is a work of the historical fused with elements of fantasy, exploring the life and times of China's national hero, and the project comes to focus on Yueh Fei's sense of patriotism and his battles against the invading barbarians. Narrated by the ghost of the protagonist, the novel also examines the emotional conflict within Yueh Fei himself and between him and two other main characters within the Imperial Court. Central to the conflict is the effect on the protagonist of the fall of the capital city, Kaifeng, that split China into Northern and Southern Sung following a humiliating peace treaty with the barbarians. The novel is written in the first person narrative mode and describes these fictionalized historical events and the surrounding circumstances that culminated in the arrest and murder of General Yueh Fei and his son, Yueh Yun. The exegesis is an informed reflection on the novel, calling on critical and theoretical thinking relevant to the writing in English of a Chinese based historical romance novel as well as cognate works in fiction and film. It gives an account of what inspired the work and the sources drawn on in creating it, positioning the work generically and exploring its theoretical basis and affiliations including the related issue of the Orientalism/authenticity nexus in the historical romance novel.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis includes two interrelated components: a creative work and exegesis. The creative component has involved the writing of a historically informed fiction entitled ‘The last statue’ and, more specifically, the construction and inclusion of a fictional language as a component of the novella’s narrative. This fictional narrative explores the enigmatic history of Easter Island and its inhabitants during a particularly turbulent and complicated time of the island’s history (c. 1200–1800 AD), and focuses on themes of love, loss and war. Authors have few models on which to base a creation of fictional language should they wish to include one as a narrative component. Through the investigation of existing artefacts containing examples of the defunct pictorial language of Easter Island (called Rongorongo), and applying a fictional meaning to the glyph-based language encrypted within them, this thesis demonstrates how practice-led research techniques helped to facilitate the construction of an invented language to support the novella’s narrative. A significant finding in this area is that the use of a fictional language/s can enhance aspects of a narrative, such as voice, setting, character development and plot. It is hoped that information gleaned from this research will offer guidance to authors wishing to develop and implement a fictional language (in this case, a pictorial/symbolic language) as a component of a fictional narrative. Written to accompany ‘The last statue’, the exegetical dissertation investigates the process and challenges associated with writing a contemporary Young Adult fiction novel when genres, sub-genres and target readerships are rapidly evolving. In identifying the distinguishing influences, and influencers, of change affecting contemporary bestselling Young Adult fiction (since 2005), this exegesis records the practice-led research methodology and resulting outcomes that inform and underpin the themes, narrative construction and literary devices chosen to develop and produce the accompanying novella. By extending scholarship relating to contemporary international bestselling Young Adult fiction, in particular, this exegesis provides research on a topic that, in scholarly terms, has eluded significant inquiry in recent times. This will be useful for creators and consumers of, and commentators on, contemporary Young Adult fiction as it contextualises and addresses current issues facing writers in this genre. While this research supports recent findings that consider changes in Young Adult fiction to be positive developments, it also offers new scholarly knowledge that exposes the strategies and behaviours that predominantly adult groups and institutions are practising within the Young Adult fiction arena. These strategies are increasingly used to facilitate, hasten and heighten these changes. Additionally, this research asserts that market segmentation and franchise strategies that promote bestselling international fiction may be limiting the very potential that their popularity claims to offer.

Full text
Abstract:
Though the Bible can be a difficult book to read and process, the creative arts may provide more relevant representations for contemporary audiences through original, imaginative formats. Fantasy is a popular, contemporary genre, so one approach to employing the creative arts is to reimagine selected, significant events and themes of the Bible as a fictional, Christian fantasy allegory. Using practice-based research, the arenas of allegory, biblical narrative structures, fantasy styles including the representation of female heroes, and Christian fantasy criteria were investigated. Relevant research outcomes were then synthesized and processed with imagination to create the Christian fantasy allegory, Dark Spark. Innovative, original, symbolic representations reimagine the significant biblical narrative events of creation, separation, redemption and restoration occurring in a fictional, fantasy world. The accompanying exegesis explains the developmental process and includes a critical analysis of story components using a repertoire of narrative elements. Dark Spark is set in a sepia world of almost-dark created by Aurion, the Devourer of Light. The inhabitants wait for the prophesied warrior-saviour, a lightbearer who will overcome the darkness and restore true light. The inclusion of multiple, symbolic, biblical events in one story and innovative, female hero depictions of biblical characters has resulted in an original, Christian fantasy allegory. Dark Spark demonstrates that allegory remains an effective writer’s tool able to present significant events and themes of the biblical narrative reimagined as a Christian fantasy.
