A interface entre Teoria Literária e a Escrita Criativa: um estudo

Abstract

The article explores a recent discussion in the literary field involving the possible points of contact between Creative Writing and Literary Theory, taking into account that the two disciplines belong to the same academic area. To further develop the arguments, this article is divided into five topics, which are as follows: An internal impulse; Reading; Guided reading; Literary workshops and institutional practice; Creative Writing as an academic discipline. Taking as a starting point the references of both literary scholars and Creative Writing teachers, as well as writers involved in literary workshops, it is possible to say that one of the answers, based on the confluence of the references studied, is to understand the text literary as a work in progress, not as a finished product, and, for that, the contributions from theory are not only useful, but necessary, establishing a productive dialogue between the two fields: an interface between Literary Theory and Creative Writing.
