Overview
What is defamiliarisation? How can this technique help your writing?
Russian Formalist, Shklovsky, stated “art exists that one may recover the sensation of life; it exists to make one feel things, to make the stone stony.” He explains that with habituation, perception becomes automatic, but the role of literature is to defamiliarise and heighten perception.
This workshop with Ever Dundas will help you go about this by exploring defamiliarisation through examples, short writing exercises, and group discussion.
Please note, this workshop will be held online.
