|
| |
| Reading: ''Politics and the English Language'' (1948) by George Orwell.
| |
|
| |
| In context Orwell vs. modernism: ''1984'', BASIC English and Otto Neurath
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| ''Politics and the English Language'' is an old text, but today we will use Orwell as a writing machine
| |
|
| |
| Orwell writes:
| |
|
| |
| " A scrupulous writer, in every sentence that he writes, will ask himself at least four questions, thus:
| |
|
| |
| 1. What am I trying to say?
| |
|
| |
| 2. What words will express it?
| |
|
| |
| 3. What image or idiom will make it clearer?
| |
|
| |
| 4. Is this image fresh enough to have an effect?
| |
|
| |
| And he will probably ask himself two more:
| |
|
| |
| 1. Could I put it more shortly?
| |
|
| |
| 2. Have I said anything that is avoidably ugly?" (p.3)
| |
|
| |
| Orwell later proposes the following rules:
| |
|
| |
| "1. Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
| |
|
| |
| 2. Never use a long word where a short one will do.
| |
|
| |
| 3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
| |
|
| |
| 4. Never use the passive where you can use the active.
| |
|
| |
| 5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
| |
|
| |
| 6. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything barbarous." (p.5)
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| From 11:00
| |
|
| |
| Experiment:
| |
|
| |
| (a) edit the text you wrote last week using the active voice.
| |
|
| |
| (b) apply Orwell's constraints to the interview text you made during the last session (you can also apply to other texts, of course). Keep both versions for comparison.
| |
|
| |
| (c) option: you can choose to swap texts.

| |
| Today we will bring together a number of the methods we've been playing with.
| |
|
| |
| The aim of the RW&RM is to write a 1500 text on method, this will be part of your self-evaluation seminar later in the year. key elements of this texts will be description of work and discussion of motivation.With each session you have been gathering material which can be used as a resource. Today we will revisit two methods we have previously used in order to update the descriptions and analysis of current and recent work..
| |
|
| |
| '''a.) 10:00-11:30''' description of (most recent) work:
| |
| what,
| |
|
| |
| how and
| |
|
| |
| why? (150 words)
| |
|
| |
| If you are up to date with this (you may have a description of recent work in the interview you made in the last session)
| |
|
| |
| '''b.) 11:30-12:30'''
| |
|
| |
| Current work
| |
|
| |
| 1 What are you working on now?
| |
|
| |
| 2 What are you thinking of making?
| |
|
| |
| 3 How do you plan to make it?
| |
|
| |
| 4 Why do you want to make it?
| |
|
| |
| 5 Relation to previous practice
| |
|
| |
| 5 Relation to a larger context
| |
|
| |
| 6 References

| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| '''14:00-15-30'''
| |
|
| |
| c) This afternoon run the above text through the 'orwell editing filter':
| |
|
| |
| "1. Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
| |
|
| |
| 2. Never use a long word where a short one will do.
| |
|
| |
| 3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
| |
|
| |
| 4. Never use the passive where you can use the active.
| |
|
| |
| 5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
| |
|
| |
| 6. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything barbarous."

| |
|
| |
| Get someone else to edit your text (cut and paste a version for them to work into, make comments &c.)
| |
|
| |
| '''16:30'''
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Meet as group to recap
| |
|
| |
| ALSO - Steve note: I have been working on individual texts with some of you. Today I would like to work together with you on a text of your choosing (or maybe in groups of two, if you would find that more useful.) The aim is to read and reflect on your text, praise the positive elements and suggest changes.
| |
|
| |
| I have recently worked with about half of you and have yet to see:
| |
|
| |
| Viktor
| |
|
| |
| Dan
| |
|
| |
| Anni
| |
|
| |
| Erika
| |
|
| |
| Let's allow for three one hour sessions between 11:00 and 16:00
| |
|
| |
| Note:
| |
|
| |
| Remember these editing tips (including “Sarah Tripp's top tips” - please add your own useful tips):
| |
|
| |
| identify the reader;
| |
|
| |
| use active mode of address;
| |
|
| |
| make three drafts with a specific outcome for each draft (these may correspond to text editing, copy editing and proof reading stages);
| |
|
| |
| print each draft out;
| |
|
| |
| read aloud (this helps with punctuation);
| |
|
| |
| get second reader to give feedback on second and final draft
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| This isn't the only way to write and edit, but try it at least once and see what works for you.
| |
|
| |
| In the next session we will gather the material together to work on a first draft on the text on method.
| |
|
| |
| ==March 17==
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Print out everything you have written for this seminar and physically cut and paste a 'very rough draft' of a text on method.
| |
|
| |
| You can use this outline as a guide:
| |
|
| |
| =='''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
| |
|
| |
| Abstract: what is this document? what do you want the reader to get from this text? (50-100 words
| |
|
| |
| Introduction: Give outline of the text and make the points you want to get across clear.
| |
|
| |
| '''
| |
| 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 (you may have covered some of this in your interview)
| |
|
| |
| '''Research strands'''
| |
|
| |
| Consider the possibilities open to you and where you would take your work in the near future.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| General note= consider the role of images and links to video (if you want your proposal to take the form of a wiki/web page)
