Kate Briggs: What is a Synopsis?

Some synonyms for the verb to synopsize include: to sum up, to encapsulate, abstract, to boil down, to digest... Our work today will be to produce a sequence of synopses of different sorts of texts (one of which you will bring along with you), to practice synopsizing as a research tool - a useful way of dealing with the texts you read -, but also as a provocative writing strategy in its own right.

For the seminar bring a text of max 2 pages that you have been reading recently


Outline:


11:00 Intro to Kate, what she does and what she will be doing today.


11:30 Split into writing-reading groups of 3 to work on a short "synopsizing" exercises


12:30 Read aloud and share the work we have done.


13h Begin work on a synopsis of the texts you have brought with you, working with different lengths: a sentence; 3 sentences; a short paragraph.


15:00 Meet as large group to review what we have done so far (upload drafts to the wiki)


15:30 Resume work in groups


17:30 Review work done


18:00 Round up

Versions 2014

(extract) Molly (sucking stones) and What Where : Samuel Beckett

Writing Machines. N. Katherine Hayles wrote a book called Writing Machines, Andrew Goldsmith talks about them in his own book Uncreative Writing. They offer ways of making texts and ways of understanding what text is. Today we will look at examples and design and operate our own.


10:30: Discuss how to design and operate a writing machine


12:45 Meet to discuss designs and tests &c


11:00: Work in groups


12:45 Review designs


16:30 Meet as group to discuss progress

5 March

Description update. Using the method we used in the first sessions describe the what, how and why of a work you made.

Additional question. How could this develop?


Describe up to three works as comprehensively as possible in 600 words (200 per work)


Remember to split the text into what, how and why for each work, ending with a reflection on how the work could develop


10:30-12-30: write text


12:30 upload your text on the wiki so your readers can read it over lunch


In groups of three: read and comment on the texts of your two peers. Make notes on the comments by your two peers


14:00 meet with your readers and discuss your text. As reader you will tell the writer what the text gives them to understand. remember to remain silent while they give feedback. This is about what the text communicates, there is no point in verbal justification on behalf of your text if it is not communicating what you intended.

15:00-16:30 edit text after taking note of the comments given by your readers.

16:30 meet as a group to review process and consider the following in relation to the text you have just written.

1) How does the work you described relate to your previous practice, how did one develop from the other? 2) How does it relate to a broader cultural context or art object(s)?

18 March

This session and the next will be devoted to compiling and writing a text on your work

hello

Outcome:

The specific outcome for the RW&RM seminar of 2013-14 will be a 1500 word text which reflects on your own method and situates your work in relation to a broader artistic and cultural context. The various texts produced within the RW&RM seminar will serve as source material for your text on method. In common with all modules on the course RW&RM serves to support the other elements of the course (Self-directed Research, Issues in Art & Theory, Practice-Group Critiques &c.). Therefore, the text on method will inform your Self-Evaluation at the end of the third trimester and provide the basis for your Graduate Project Proposal that you will produce in the fourth trimester.


Brief for 1500 word methods text (which you will do at the end of the second trimester).

The aim of this assignment is to use description of your work as a way of identifying and articulating your method. Describing first what and then how and why you make work often leads to discussions of the works context (what work is similar to the work you describe; what are the key ideas the work deals with).

The theoretical elements of the texts you write should therefore emerge from, and have a very clear connection with, the work you are making.



18 March: Outcome ¬– first draft by the end of session one


10:00 - meet too discuss session

11:00 - make rough draft

14:00 - review drafts in groups of 3-4

15:00 - resume writing draft

16:30 - big group review

Please upload your texts here:

Natalia 1st draft

examples of previous texts

Print out all the texts you have produced (individually and collectively) during the seminar, these will serve as material or notes for this session and the next.

Outline for the text (this is a guide rather than a prescription)

General note on mode of address. Write as if to someone not familiar with your work.

Title

Introduction Current Practice (resource: here you can use the descriptions made in the last session)

Relation to previous practice

How does your current work connect to previous projects you have done? (resource: here you can use the descriptions made in the first sessions)

Relation to a larger context

Outline practices or ideas that go beyond the scope of your personal work. Write briefly about other projects or theoretical material which share an affinity with your project. It is simply about showing an awareness of a broader context, which you will later build upon in your project proposal and writing component in the second year (resource: here you can draw on the texts from the interviews and from the session using Jstor and the session ‘what is context and why’ [oct-2])

Research strands

Consider the possibilities open to you and where you would take your work in the near future (resource: here you can draw on the texts from the interviews and from the session using Jstor)

Conclusion

References

A list of references (Remember that dictionaries, encyclopedias and wikipedia are not references to be listed. These are starting points that should lead to more substantial texts and practices.) The references need to be formatted according to the Harvard method. See: http://pzwart3.wdka.hro.nl/wiki/A_Guide_to_Essay_Writing#The_Harvard_System_of_referencing

1 April text on method

10:00 meet in small project space

At the end of the last session you made a draft of your text.

During the last session you also organized for a peer (or peers) to read through and provide advice and comments.

This week we will continue to make the text with the aim to get as near to a finished text as possible.

Steve will be on hand to read your text and discuss it with you
