| | ==Outcome: Text on Method== |
|
| |
|
| | The specific outcome for the RW&RM seminar of 2016-2017 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. |
|
| |
|
| General notes:
| | Here are the [[Text on Method guidelines]]; |
| | |
| 1) Communication - Think of the reader. It is not safe to assume they have knowledge of what you are writing about. Even if they do have knowledge this needs to be contextualized. Generally people appreciate clarity.
| |
| | |
| 2) Description - Remember to describe the texts you are citing (synopsis of relevant arguments) and the things you are discussing (your own work, the work of others).
| |
| | |
| 3) Citation - give appropriate acknowledgment of the text/work you are citing. Do not leave it to the end of the process to place citations, as your texts grow more complex and longer this becomes a tedious task so give citations as you go. Use the Harvard method.
| |
| | |
| 4) Notation - always take notes and log your sources. The alphabet code is an excellent memory storage system - use it.
| |
| | |
| 5) Identify and eliminate bad habits as you go - this saves time. Examples: its/it's / i/I
| |
| | |
| 6) Bibliography
| |
| | |
| n) stop wiki sloppiness - this is the page through which we communicate so always make a link to the latest version on this page

| '''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. For this experiment I am asking you to follow the method outlined above so that you can begin to reflect and write quite deeply about the work you are making. A second method you will find useful is to draw on annotations of texts you have read which have a particular relation to the work you make.

| =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.
| |
| ''
