Through a series of essays, the authors unveil the theoretical foundations, methodological problems, and conceptual tools that underlie this discipline, which is often considered esoteric. The book does not merely analyze the current state of university programs, but proposes a necessary systematization to academically legitimize the field, becoming an indispensable resource for teachers, students, and professionals interested in understanding and teaching the art of writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work addresses the theoretical void that exists in Ibero-American academia regarding creative writing. Despite the rise of university programs, the discipline lacks a solid critical and methodological basis. The essays that make up the book explore the subtleties and complexities of the area, dismantling the prejudices of \"doxa,\" or popular wisdom. Fundamental problems are discussed, such as the lack of unified criteria, the need to delve deeper into important intuitions, and the urgency of producing and disseminating theoretical tools that justify the academic establishment of creative writing. It is, in essence, an open window to a field of study in full development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003eTheoretical and critical foundations of creative writing as an academic discipline.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the situation and challenges of university creative writing programs in Ibero-America.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003eProposals for the systematization and standardization of teaching criteria and methodologies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003eReflection on the prejudices and the \"mystery\" that surround literary creation and its teaching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003eReview of the conceptual tools necessary for the practice and teaching of creative writing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at professors, researchers, and students of creative writing programs, as well as literary theorists and publishing professionals.
