WHAT

This 2-hour workshop is a short, basic introduction to nonlinear texts for absolute beginners. It will be split into three blocks:

  • First, we will go over a brief introduction to nonlinear works, going over basic principles (such as chronology, fragment, structure, weaving, form, etc), and touch on how these can be relevant to (creative-critical) scholarly work.

  • Secondly, we will browse through a few examples (in both print and digital formats).

  • Finally, we will spend some time with Twine, a free software designed to write  and visualise interactive and non-linear works.

WHY AND FOR WHOM

Nonlinear narratives hold significant creative-critical potential for doctoral researchers: they allow for the presentation and digestion of complex, layered information. The translation from a literary narrative to a scholarly discourse that works on similar principles is a skill naturally relevant to those in the Arts and Architecture, but also beyond.

PRACTICALITIES

  • The workshop will be in-person in the Diepenbeek campus.

  • You will need to bring your own computer.

  • You do not need to bring a nonlinear project to this session.

  • That said, if there is a specific project you’d like to discuss, there will be some time for that
