The creative process of literary writing - the role of the editor

15 Novembro 2017, 16:00 • Cecília Maria Beecher Martins

The students who had selected Go Set a Watchman as their novel presented various themes from the book.


Then we discussed the role of the editor - why the book might have been rejected in the 1950s and how To Kill a Mockingbird might have been a more saleable option. 

Why we loved Atticus in Mockingbird and why he disappoints us so much in Watchman

Discussion of photography

Students presented examples of photographs from The Ideal for Living exhibition and discussed if/how these were a representation of British society as it was developing over the 20th century. Art as a reflection of society.

They also presented examples of "artistic" photography and photojournalism. 
We discussed how photographers like Emil Otto Hoppé, Billy Brandt and Henri Cartier-Bresson laid the foundations for photojournalism as they moved into this new field. 

We also looked at photographs that "stop the world" and asked how some photos achieved this, while others which are equally shocking do not.

Finally we looked at the "montage" involved in developing propaganda photography.
