Intime et désir

Everything you have always wanted to know about writing desire but never dared to ask. We will examine and write the genre’s clichés from new perspectives, exploring the elements of a narrative (descriptions, protagonists, etc.). Five sessions to explore intimate writing without taboos or bad taste: humor, sensuality, feminism and literature come together joyfully. Desire has its own grammar – come and learn it. Mondays from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Maison des associations Workshop 1 Barbara Cartland vs Bérurier (from San Antonio). The vocabulary, topoi, set formula, kamasutras, and deconstructing it all. Workshop 2 Would you like another finger? The sex scene in context. What purpose does it serve? What should it contain? Choose humor over ridicule? Workshop 3 Pillow talk. Interactions between characters. Their voices and the authorial voice. Writing fantasy: a dream never realized. Workshop 4 Bodies in agreement. Using kinks in a text. Describing what happens with all the senses turned upside down, with limbs caught in shibari ropes. Workshop 5 For feminist writing. With Virginia Woolf, Hélène Cixous, Joumana Haddad and Gorge Bataille, fragments of life.
