Description
In-person writing workshop led by Lea Melandri. Organised by ICI London and Autocoscienza Writing Group.
What is the role of co-narration in feminist practices of consciousness-raising? In what way is it possible to develop new feminist practices through writing? What differences do exist between autobiographical writing and embodied affective writing?
Scrittura di esperienza (Experiential Writing) is a feminist methodology and a political practice developed by Lea Melandri in the early 1990s, as a continuation and reappraisal of Italian feminist practices of autocoscienza (Consciousness Raising) of the 1970s including the practice of the unconscious. As Melandri writes “While autobiography works on memory and recollections that take shape within meaningful narration, experiential writing attempts to reach the most remote zones of the conscience and relies on fragments, broken thoughts, and emotions that emerge precisely when a dispersion of meaning is enacted”.
This one-day workshop provides insight into Melandri’s methodology and her long-standing career as a writer, educator, and feminist activist. Each participant will have the opportunity to reflect on their own writing through practical exercises and unpublished material from Melandri’s personal archive. The workshop is open to everyone, and it is particularly relevant to those working in the context of pedagogy and research, therapy, violence and abuse prevention, or self-organised initiatives concerned with feminism and writing.
