A argumentação é um ato social imprescindível na vida de todo e qualquer sujeito, entretanto a escola delega o trabalho com argumentação aos anos escolares finais, como preparo para o vestibular. No entanto entendemos a argumentação como um espaço discursivo que os sujeitos têm o direito de ocupar desde a mais tenra idade. Diante disso, utilizando a Análise do Discurso pecheuxtiana como dispositivo teórico-analítico, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o discurso dos sujeitos-escolares, especificamente dos que frequentam os 5º e 9º anos do Ensino Fundamental, sobre o fracasso escolar, com foco na argumentação, e como o direito (ou não) às práticas argumentativas está relacionado à assunção ou à ausência de autoria. Para isso, foi oferecida aos alunos uma coletânea de textos que abordava, sob diferentes pontos de vista, o tema fracasso escolar para, assim, promover uma discussão oral e propor que os alunos escrevessem textos argumentativos sobre o tema debatido. Serão analisados os discursos orais e escritos dos sujeitos-alunos e, para as análises, consideraremos os indícios de determinado funcionamento discursivo, os quais, para o analista do discurso, são constituídos pelas marcas linguísticas que cada sujeito deixa em seu dizer. Em nossas análises observamos que os sujeitos-alunos se posicionam e argumentam na oralidade, enquanto na escrita há a predominância da paráfrase. Isso ocorre devido a, provavelmente, uma prática escolar pautada pelo discurso autoritário. Além disso encontramos indícios do discurso dominante que culpabiliza o próprio aluno pelo sucesso/fracasso escolar. Tais sentidos sustentam-se em uma formação discursiva dominante sobre o fracasso escolar, que isenta a escola dessa responsabilidade e, pelo efeito da ideologia, naturaliza os sentidos de que os alunos não estudam; logo, não aprendem. A relação do sujeito com a linguagem não é transparente, mas está vinculada a aspectos sócio-históricos; é por meio da ideologia que se naturaliza o que é produzido historicamente e se leva o sujeito a pensar que o sentido só pode ser aquele e não outro. Por fim, com este estudo, buscamos construir espaços para o discurso polêmico em sala de aula a fim de promover a argumentação, bem como esperamos contribuir para a compreensão da argumentação como um direito que leva à autoria. / Argumentation is an indispensable social act in the life of all and any subject, however, the school delegates the work with argumentation to the final school years, as preparation for the college entrance exam. However, we understand the argumentation as a discursive space that subjects have the right to occupy from an early age.Therefore, using the theory of Discourse Analysis by Michel Pêcheux as a theoretical and analytical device, this work aims to analyze the discourse of school subjects, specifically those who attend the 5th and 9th grade of Elementary School, about school failure, focusing on argumentation, and how the right (or not) to argumentative practices is related to the assumption or absence of authorship. For this purpose, we offered the students a collection of texts that addressed, from different points of view, the theme \"school failure\" in order to promote an oral discussion and to propose that students write argumentative texts about the theme discussed. The oral and written discourses of the school subjects will be analyzed and, for the analysis, we will consider the signs of a certain discursive functioning, which for the discourse analyst are constituted by the linguistic marks that each subject leave in his/her saying. In our analyzes we observed that the school subjects have positioned themselves and argued in orality while in writing there is predominance of the paraphrase. This is probably due to a school practice based on authoritarian discourse. In addition, we find indications of the dominant discourse that blames the student for school success/failure. Such meanings are sustained in a dominant discursive formation about school failure which exempts the school from this responsibility and, by the effect of ideology, naturalizes the meanings that students do not study and therefore, they do not learn. The relation of the subject to language is not transparent, but it is bounded to social and historical aspects and is through ideology that it naturalizes what is produced historically, and leads the subject to think that the meaning can only be \"that\" and not another. Finally, with this study, we seek to construct spaces for controversial discourse in the classroom in order to promote the argumentation, as well as we hope to contribute to the understanding of argumentation as a right that leads to authorship.

Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo investigar a presença de indícios de autoria em redações escolares. Para a sua realização, analiso 41 redações produzidas por alunos de uma escola de alto padrão da cidade de São Paulo. Essas redações são o resultado de um concurso interno de redação, cujo tema foi a busca da felicidade; os alunos participantes escreveram sobre este tema em diferentes gêneros (crônica, conto, artigo de opinião ou dissertação escolar) e postaram o texto na plataforma moodle. Nesta pesquisa, cuja premissa parte de uma análise discursiva (pautada na Análise do Discurso de linha francesa e na teoria da enunciação bakhtiniana), após o levantamento dos dados, foi possível pensar a distribuição do material analisado sob as seguintes perspectivas: a) o individual, o humano e o social; b) ainda considerando essa tríade, a incidência da voz coletiva e do tom proverbial; c) o tempo e o espaço nas relações de continuidade e ruptura. No decorrer das análises propostas, pude perceber a presença de pré-construídos acerca da felicidade, estabelecidos I) pelo diálogo com os textos da coletânea da proposta de redação entregue aos alunos e II) pelo universo sociocultural e histórico no qual estão inseridos os escreventes participantes do concurso; esse universo permite um entendimento do que convencionei nomear império do eu. Isso, somado à consideração dos três eixos de circulação do escrevente pela escrita (CORREA 2004), à consideração da escrita como heterogênea (CORREA 2004) e à consideração do outro como mostrado e constitutivo (AUTHIER-REVUZ 1995) dos textos em análise, propiciou a abordagem sobre autoria aqui proposta. Os indícios de autoria são perceptíveis nas rupturas que se abrem na regularidade, na continuidade dos discursos, rupturas que deixam à vista o ponto de contato entre o que há de mostrado, o que há de constitutivo e o que pode ser considerado como manobras (POSSENTI 2009) do escrevente em seu trabalho com a escrita. Essas rupturas, considerando as perspectivas analíticas que assumo como diretrizes a partir da análise do material, podem ser pensadas em relação às três abordagens já dadas: a) na presença da consideração do social, mesmo que ainda atravessada pela regularidade da generalização; b) na voz coletiva e no tom proverbial como instanciação do outro, por meio de duas imagens, o simples, como critério para a felicidade, e os conceitos direito e dever, vinculados à busca da felicidade; e c) nas rupturas no continuum espaço-tempo por meio I) da fratura do cotidiano; II) da instanciação da perda como oportunidade; e III) do passar biológico do tempo. Cada uma dessas rupturas permite que seja instanciada uma posição enunciativa a partir da qual aquele discurso, e nenhum outro, nessas circunstâncias, nesse tempo e nesse espaço possa ser enunciado aqui e em nenhum outro lugar. Desse modo, entendo como indícios de autoria os momentos em que o escrevente se faz notar. Pensar a autoria em redações escolares a partir de uma premissa discursiva pode permitir, por fim, uma nova abordagem do conceito autoria nas aulas de redação e no modo como o conceito autoria é previsto em grades de correção de redações escolares e dos vestibulares. / This research aims to investigate the presence of indications of authorship on school essays. To do as much, we have analyzed 41 essays produced by students from a high profile school in São Paulo city. These essays are the result of an inside writing contest, for which the theme was the pursuit of happiness; the participating students were to write about it in different genres (chronicle, short story, opinion piece, school essay) and post their work on the Moodle platform. In this research, for which my premise stems from a discursive analysis (based on the French line of Discourse Analysis and on Bakhtins enunciation theory), after data survey, it was possible to think the distribution of the analyzed material under the following perspectives: a) the transition from the subjective to the human, disregarding the social; b) still taking into account the jump from particularization to generalization; the incidence of a collective voice and a proverbial note; c) time and space as characters of a narrative. Over the proposed analyses, we could perceive the presence of pre-construes on happiness, stablished I) by the dialogue with texts from the proposal compilation handed to the students and II) by the historical and sociocultural universe in which the participating writers are inserted; this universe allows an understanding of what we have decided to call the me empire. This, added to the consideration of three axes of circulation of the writer through writing (CORREA 2004), to the consideration of writing as heterogenous (CORREA 2004) and the consideration of the other as shown and constituted (AUTHIER-REVUZ 1995) of the analyzed texts, has provided the approach on authorship herein proposed. To us, the indications of authorship may be perceived in the ruptures that open in regularity, in discourse continuity, and which show the point of contact between what is shown, what is constitutive and what may be considered the writers maneuvers (POSSENTI 2009) in his or her writing work. Taking into account the analytical perspectives we took as directives from the material analysis, said ruptures may be considered, under the three given perspectives, a) in the presence of the consideration of the social, even if its still traversed by the impression of whole; b) in the collective voice and the proverbial note as instantiation of the other in the discourse, while becoming, through two images, the simple, as a criterion for happiness, and the concepts right and duty, tied to the pursuit of happiness; c) in the ruptures of space-time continuum through the fracture of routine, the instantiation of loss as opportunity, the biological passing of time. Each of these ruptures allows the instantiation of a subject position from which that discourse, and no other, under these circumstances, in this time and space, may be enunciated here and in no other place. To think authorship in school essays under a discursive premise may allow, at last, a new approach of the concept of authorship in writing classes and in the way the concept authorship is previewed in correction grids in schools and in entrance exams for universities.

abstract: In the 1950s, Miguel Llobet (1878–1938) and Emilio Pujol (1886–1980) published the first transcriptions of piano and orchestral music for two guitars that became staples in the repertoire. Ida Presti (1924–1967) and Alexandre Lagoya (1929–1999) expanded their efforts with new adaptations of Baroque, Romantic, and Modern music. Following their examples, generations of professional guitar duos have maintained a similar transcription repertoire. However, closer examination reveals noticeable gaps in it as Renaissance works have been largely overlooked. To illuminate this issue, chapter 2 revisits adaptations for two guitars of music originally written for vihuelas, lutes, viols, and the virginal to inquire about the reasons for this neglect and discuss plausible solutions. Because the virginal stands out for its innovative characteristics and alignment with the solo lute works by John Dowland (1563–1626) and John Johnson (ca. 1545–1594), the “English School” of Virginalists is further explored as a potential source of suitable works for transcriptions. Chapter 3 discusses philosophical concepts and editorial practices to propose a method aimed at producing stylistically faithful adaptations of virginal music. The editorial criteria for this method are informed by in-depth reflections on terminology, the ontology of musical works, the notion of authenticity, and common sixteenth-century practices from musica ficta to tuning temperaments and notational conventions. Concerning ethical matters, this chapter assesses authorship issues that originated at the turn of the nineteenth century but are still adopted by modern editors and transcribers. This discussion aims to shed light on both the negative impact on intellectual property and how it can be avoided by simply resorting to the practice of scholarly transcriptions. Chapters 4 and 5 explain the procedures and applications of the proposed method in two parts: adaptation and revision. The first introduces concepts and strategies from choosing suitable works to balancing playability and aesthetic fidelity intended to produce a preliminary version of the original work. The second establishes a knowledge base through musico-historical discussions and comparative analyses of sources that inform editorial decisions and necessary changes to be implemented in the final score. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2019

In the frame introduction to Willa Cather's My Ántonia (1918), an unnamed author encounters her childhood friend Jim Burden on a cross-country train. Jim asks the author why she has never written anything about their mutual friend Ántonia. To answer Jim's criticism, she proposes they both write stories about Ántonia, but only Jim honors the agreement. The rest of the novel is put forth as Jim's manuscript "substantially" as he brought it to the author (xii). This scenario is but one of several ways My Ántonia evokes Cather's experience ghostwriting S.S. McClure's My Autobiography (1914) for, just as the authorial voice in My Ántonia dissolves into Jim's, Cather had to adopt McClure's perspective to write her former employer's life story. Going further, Cather worked closely with her book editor Ferris Greenslet and the production editor R.L. Scaife to be sure Houghton Mifflin would paginate the introduction with roman numerals and thereby produce the effect of a true authorial preface. The introduction recalls the preface of McClure's autobiography, which acknowledged Cather for "cooperation" that contributed to "the very existence" of his book. Interpreting My Ántonia and My Autobiography as projects connected by authorial process, textual allusion, and even typesetting suggests the complicated and elusive nature of collaborative labor in the literary marketplace, as well as the extent to which modern literary texts responded to those complexities. Working on a task or project with a partner or in a group can frustrate, energize or empower those involved, but whatever feelings it inspires, interactive labor often has a life of its own. This is the idea of collaborative momentum. My dissertation examines relationships among authors, agents, editors, publishers, and unofficial "middle men" to argue that supportive and adversarial cycles of interactive labor in the modern American literary marketplace created the basic parameters of modern authorship. I show that as professional specialization becomes more rigid and institutionalized, the literary field paradoxically created new spaces for nebulous but crucial cooperative labor. In particular, the effect I call collaborative momentum facilitated the exchange of economic and symbolic capital. Additionally, I show that narratives of the modern period are inextricably invested in corporate and institutional labor systems that surround them and can be interpreted as rhetorical attempts to reform and improve those systems. By analyzing the author's cultural identity in relation to rising institutional collaborators of the modern era, I contribute to the steadily growing field of authorship studies while adding to ongoing scholarly conversations about individual authors and texts. My chapters analyze the systemic production of literary identity, reciprocal relationships between editors and authors, the modern apparatus of literary debut, and the role bibliophilia and book collecting played in the production of The New Negro. I therefore highlight four paradigmatic examples of interactive labor while simultaneously emphasizing that collaborative momentum as I describe it was crucial not only to those with privilege but also to individuals and groups struggling against inequality, whether it was Salish novelist D'Arcy McNickle, Alain LeRoy Locke, or self-employed literary agent Flora May Holly. My work helps scholars see a power structure that granted disproportionate credibility to white men as literary creators and publishing industry insiders, yet it also shows a modern American literary culture shaped as much by the experience of marginalized individuals and groups negotiating a discriminatory publishing industry as it was by aesthetic contests between popular fiction and high modernism. My first chapter, Character, Personality, and the Editor Figure: William Dean Howells and the Institution of Image-Building establishes that the same cultural logic that allowed Samuel Clemens to develop a public persona as a fictional character also empowered William Dean Howells to create his literary identity as the nation's foremost editor figure. Further, I argue that image-building was a collaborative affair; Howells and many others helped define Mark Twain, and countless authors and critics came to define Howells as the Dean of American Letters in the 1890s and as America's "pious old maid" after his death in 1920. I argue that Howells' persona-work extends to his novel A Hazard of New Fortunes (1890). The main characters--co-founders of a fictional literary magazine--have contrasting identities: one is ostentatious but lacks substance; the other is so unsure he hardly has an identity. Labor crises at the magazine and in the city streets gesture at the problematic nature of a personality-driven culture that had come to define selfhood without emphasizing a moral or ethical element. In chapter two, "Reciprocity and the `Real' Author: Willa Cather as S.S. McClure's Ghostwriter," I trace a cycle of debt--monetary and symbolic--from McClure's rise as magazine editor to a moment of financial crisis in 1912 that led his corporate board to oust him from his own magazine. To pay off his debts, he asked Willa Cather to author his autobiography. I read the ghostwriting project as an example of how mutual debt is generative, for Cather accepted the role out of personal loyalty and took no money for her work. Cather's fictional works, including My Ántonia and The Professor's House (1925), engage with the cycle of debt and indebtedness and imagine a narrative exchange unclouded by any question of money but tied, instead, to a dream of self-sacrificing friendship. My article "It's Mr. Reynolds Who Wishes It: Profit and Prestige Shared by Cather and Her Literary Agent," in Cather Studies Volume 9, "Willa Cather and Modern Cultures," draws on material from this chapter. My third chapter, "Discovery of the Month: D'Arcy McNickle and the Apparatus of Literary Debut" takes up as its interpretive focus changing institutions of literary career-launching. My approach brings together two scholarly conversations, one preoccupied with McNickle's refinement of his perception of Native cultures and the other, informed by a history of the book methodology, concerned with the cultural systems that codified twentieth-century authorial identity and credibility. McNickle is an important example of how institutions of discovery functioned. The exceptional aspects of McNickle's story--the nine-year duration of his effort to publish his first book, his outsider identity, and the number of avenues he tried in order to become established make him an ideal example. To better understand McNickle's relationship with literary agent Ruth Rae, I frame my analysis with the story of the literary agent's rise as an integral figure in literary debut. Turning to McNickle's fiction in the second part of this chapter, I analyze his The Surrounded as a reaction to cultural institutions of literary discovery. McNickle narrates the tragedy of failed mediation and gestures at an alternative model of interaction. He embeds this thematic exploration in his allusions to the Salish oral tradition, so that the text itself mediates an experience of cultural discovery. Chapter four, "Irrepressible Anthologies, Collectible: Bibliophilia and Book Collecting in the New Negro," continues my analysis of the literary middle man's collision with American modernity by tracing the intersection of anthology, book collecting, and bibliophilia as they pertain to The New Negro's book design, artistic form, and multi-generic content. While recent studies have linked the anthology to Boazian ethnography and modernist collage, I provide a more immediate reading of the philosophies of collecting inherent to modern and African American print cultures. I read The New Negro as a book production process structured by efforts to produce an object worthy of being collected. My also analyzes of how the anthology's book design interacts with the positions on materiality and collecting at play in its collected prose and poetry. This case study of the creator-intermediary as collector historicizes modern book collecting and appreciates African American bibliophiles as an alternative to the dominant white American and European book collecting traditions. Appreciating these distinctions suggests, ultimately, that a significant aspect of the exchange of economic and symbolic capital in the modern age was to mediate a contested present day by refashioning ideas about the past.

This dissertation argues that friendship operates in mid-eighteenth-century English fiction as a privileged category of virtue, knowledge, and aesthetic value. By representing social tensions raised by extra-familial friendships and appealing to readers as friends, Samuel Richardson, Sarah Fielding, Sarah Scott, and Laurence Sterne, develop ideal friendship into a reflexive trope for cultivating authorial identity, framing literary response, imagining a public sphere, and theorizing social reforms. Amiable Fictions offers a new way of thinking about the ethical frameworks that shape experimental narrative techniques at a moment when the English novel is just emerging into cultural prominence. In this study, I analyze the ways that these four novelists represent friendships as allegorical meditations on interpersonal ethics so as to imagine literary exchange as a virtual form of friendship. I explore how the idealized communicative intimacy of friendship becomes a basis for imagining more perfect spiritual and economic unions. On the level of plot, these fictions unpack the philosophical values of real friendship by staging its antagonism with persistent forms of patriarchy, aristocracy, and economic individualism. Drawing from the values of friendship that arise in the plot, these authors shape narrative exchanges as a tie of friendship. In cultivating an amiable ethos, they avoid appearing as slavish flatterers in a commercialized literary marketplace, or as overly didactic figures of institutional authority. Amiable Fictions builds on studies of the novel genre by accounting for the way a rhetoric of friendship motivates experiments in narrative form. I offer insights into developments in epistolary style, free indirect discourse, unreliable narration, anonymous authorship, and autobiographical form. I suggest that the concept of friendship orients these writers in their exploration of techniques, propelling them as they articulate a range of possibilities available for future authors of narrative fiction. This dissertation also engages current scholarly understandings of sociability, sensibility, domesticity, and public and private life in the mid-eighteenth century. These novelists deploy friendship as a moral category that challenges codes of sociability, refines understandings of sympathy, and often antagonizes the emerging cultural authority of the domestic sphere. Reframing questions of gender and sexuality and their influence on literary forms, the project highlights how male characters imitate friendship between women (and vice versa), how social reform impulses raise the need for heterosexual friendship, and how non-familial friendship conflicts with domestic norms as an alternative mediator of public and private character.

Boundary and desire surround the relationships in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and The Last Man. The narrative modes of Captain Robert Walton relate his separation to the rest of the world and his need for companionship. Yet, not any companionship will satisfy his longing for connection with a human being; his search revolves around the need of common understanding. This further separates the character of Lionel in The Last Man from humanity in that he is unable to find anyone left on earth after a series of plague, war, and atmospheric anomalies apparently wipe out the human race. His survival hinges on the desire to find someone, anyone, in which to share any mode of common experience. His struggles with loneliness finally culminate in his autobiography. Both Frankenstein and The Last Man deal with the issue of narrative and the bounds of human necessity for acceptance and companionship. Though both tales are from a male perspective, the gendered aspects of the stories further separate the characters in each novel. How each character is estranged by forces outside their control, and how they express this relationship between their internal selves and their outer selves, are at the core of each text. Through these ideas of boundary and belonging, this thesis will explore the relationships in Frankenstein and The Last Man.

In 2007, Nuria Azancot published an article in the magazine El Cultural in which she identified a burgeoning group of Spanish writers that she referred to as the “Nocilla Generation.” The catalyst behind the article was a literary reunion that took place weeks before in Seville and brought together authors from all parts of Spain to talk about the status and future of writing. She described them as “transgressors” and “bloggers” who hybridized literary genres and held a revolutionary approach to the literary that was clearly marked by the Internet. Numerous articles and dissertations have since highlighted the impact that technology has had on the literature of this generation and how the Internet has allowed these authors a very active presence on social media. Few of these critical examinations have engaged in close textual analyses of the works of this so-called “Nocilla Generation” of writers. This dissertation engages with these issues for the purpose of exploring three main points. First, it seeks to identify and examine the role of the Internet on the literary production of Agustín Fernández Mallo, Alberto Olmos and Vicente Luis Mora. Second, it looks at the way that the internetization of literature implicitly undermines the traditional understanding of authorship. Third, the project suggests that the concept of an author as the source of an original creation should be replaced with a “re-wreader” (a blend of reader and writer infused with the repetitive nature of the prefix “re.”). The main thesis of this dissertation is that the interneticized text gives rise to a new understanding of authorship that is best captured in the figure of a re-wreader writing re-wreaderly texts that echo the ideas of the readerly and writerly from Barthes. The result: a textual space at once strange yet familiar in which a search for meaning, textual stability or origins gives itself over to the pleasure of the search, a search for something or nothing, a search for the search, a search in which all the material of the world (printed and digital) is there to be used and repackaged into a new literary creation.

[pt] A presente dissertação busca analisar um conceito jurídico: o de que a tradução de uma obra literária, artística e científica envolve um ato de transformação do texto original, consistindo, assim, numa (re)escrita autoral. Apresenta, brevemente, a influência do Iluminismo e do Romantismo na consolidação do direito de autor, no século XIX, quando o conceito de obra original (ou originalidade) tornou-se central nas leis que passaram a regular essa matéria. Em diálogo com Lawrence Venuti, um importante teórico da tradução, este trabalho procura verificar se a centralidade da obra original nas legislações autorais de fato contribuiu para obscurecer as traduções e, consequentemente, causar a invisibilidade do tradutor. A presente dissertação também busca encontrar fundamentos para a ideia de tradução como transformação a partir do entrecruzamento da Filosofia com os Estudos Linguísticos, explorando o assunto ainda de maneira bastante introdutória. Nesta parte do trabalho sugere-se que o aparecimento de um nova concepção de língua(gem), no final do século XVIII, foi fundamental para se passar a conceber a tradução como um ato de transformação, podendo, inclusive, ter influenciado as próprias leis da época. / [en] The present dissertation analyses a legal concept: that literary, artistic and scientific translations involve an act of transformation and, for that reason, consist in an authorial (re)writing. It briefly shows the influence of the Enlightenment and Romanticism on the consolidation of the authorial rights on the nineteenth century, when the concept of original work (or originality) became central in the copyright laws. In dialogue with Lawrence Venuti, an important translation theorist, it also examines whether the centrality of the original work in the copyright legislation really contributed to obscure translation and consequently cause the translator’s invisibility. The present dissertation also tries to find basis for the idea of translation as transformation through the interaction of philosophy and linguistic studies, still exploring this subject in a very introductory manner. In this part of the work, it is also suggested that the formulation of a new concept of language, at the end of 18th century, might have been very relevant to the idea of translation as transformation, influencing the laws of that time.

This work explores the place of creative non-fiction in Australian tertiary journalism education. While creative non-fiction — a genre of writing based on the techniques of the fiction writer — has had a rocky relationship with journalism, this study shows that not only is there a place for the genre in journalism education, but that it is inextricably linked with journalism. The research is based on results from studies using elite interviews and a census of Australian universities with practical journalism curricula. The first stage of this study provides a definition of creative non-fiction based on the literature and a series of elite interviews held with American and Australian creative non-fiction experts. This definition acknowledges creative non-fiction as a genre of writing that tells true stories while utilising fiction writing techniques such as point of view, dialogue and vivid description. The definition also takes into account creative non-fiction’s diverse range of publication styles which include feature articles, memoir, biography, literary journalism and narrative non-fiction. The second stage of the study reports upon elite interviews with Australian writers who have produced works in the genres of journalism and creative non-fiction. These interviews reveal the close relationship journalism and creative non-fiction share across a variety of approaches and techniques. This study also shows how creative non-fiction can improve the careers of journalists and the quality of journalism. The census of journalism programs further reveals the place of creative non-fiction in tertiary journalism education and prompts the formulation of a two tiered model for the genre’s inclusion in the curriculum. The first tier involves including creative non-fiction in a core journalism subject. The second tier is an elective creative non-fiction subject which builds on the skills developed in the core classes. Through the literature, and the responses of the elites and survey respondents, it was possible to show how creative non-fiction helps journalism students to appreciate the history of their profession, explore their talents and finally to be part of what may be the future of print journalism.
