The Reading, Writing, and Research Methodologies Seminar is tailored towards (further) developing research methods within the first year of this master. By establishing a solid foundation of research skills, it will eventually prepare students for their Graduate research in the second year. Through reading core theoretical texts, they will establish a common vocabulary and set of references to work from. They will learn the practice of classic ‘essayistic methodologies’, including close reading, annotation, description and notation, students learn to survey a body of literature, filter what is relevant to their research and create comparative pieces of analysis. The seminar helps students to establish methodical drafting processes for their texts, where they can develop ideas further and structure their use of notes and references. The course takes as axiomatic that the perceived division between ‘practice’ and ‘theory’ is essentially an illusion. | The Reading, Writing, and Research Methodologies Seminar is tailored towards (further) developing research methods within the first year of this master.

THINGS TO DO AHEAD OF NEXT METHODS SEMINAR | |||
1) Finish essay by deadline of 21 January. I will review and mark them ahead of the next methods class. | |||
2) Thematic report two: as discussed last week, as part of the methods class you will be making a report of the next thematic project. It will take the form of the last report you made together. This time, because you have established a series of methods and procedures for doing this, you can make it as you go: | |||
a) make notes of thesis and conclusion of each presentation, lecture, introduction&c.; | |||
b) make synopsis of key texts you are reading | |||
c) use the same template as last time. | |||
d) allocate jobs so you don't duplicate work and make sure all tasks are covered | |||
Because this is familiar the report can be compiled and published on the wiki in a short time. We can spend one morning next month reviewing the process. | |||
3) Note: the seminar has been shifted from 17 Feb to 18 February, in order that you can meet with Annet and Andre for Making Things Public project on the 17th. | |||

==Note on Active Voice== | |||
Active & Passive | |||
Reading: Politics and the English Language (1948) by George Orwell. | |||
It's 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) | |||
Experiment: | |||
(a) Edit your essay excluding the passive voice. or: ''edit the text you wrote last week using the active voice''. | |||
'''' | |||
==18-2-16== | |||
In the morning we will go through your plan for your second 1500 word essay of this trimester. | |||

The morning will be set aside to discuss your plans together | |||
What do I bring to the session?: | |||
Gather material = the texts and media you plan to use as reference material for your text. (You may wish to extend your research using texts and media mentioned in your previous paper.

Intro:
The Reading, Writing, and Research Methodologies Seminar is tailored towards (further) developing research methods within the first year of this master. By establishing a solid foundation of research skills, it will eventually prepare students for their Graduate research in the second year. Through reading core theoretical texts, they will establish a common vocabulary and set of references to work from. They will learn the practice of classic ‘essayistic methodologies’, including close reading, annotation, description and notation, students learn to survey a body of literature, filter what is relevant to their research and create comparative pieces of analysis. The seminar helps students to establish methodical drafting processes for their texts, where they can develop ideas further and structure their use of notes and references. The course takes as axiomatic that the perceived division between ‘practice’ and ‘theory’ is essentially an illusion.
Curriculum: The seminar will involve:
(a.) Identifying the object of your research: description and analysis of your work
(b.) Contextualizing your work through description and reflection on contemporary and historical practices.
(c.) Identify research material key to your practice.
(d.) Synopsis and annotation of key texts
(e.) Writing machines: creating methods for group and individual writing.
Throughout, there will be an emphasis on working collectively, whether in a larger discussion group or in smaller reading and writing groups.
Outcome of the seminar (trimester three)
The specific outcome for the RW&RM seminar of 2015-16 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 your self-directed research. 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.
Deadline: a week before self evaluation seminar

PAD HERE PLEASE — ok: http://pzwart1.wdka.hro.nl/pad/p/RW-RM-2015_12_02
Trimester two
14 January
The outcome of this trimester will be fourfold:
Two essays
1 (Jan) ) typographical hallucinations / discourse networks
working with texts from last trimester's seminar as your starting point
a) review texts
b) formulate your own question
use this guideline
Use Harvard method (as described in above guideline)
Word count 2000 words (excluding bibliography)
Deadline 21 January
2 ) Text relating specifically to your self-directed research(Feb)
3) Ongoing description and analysis of practice (Jan and Feb)
4 (feb) report on thematic two
During the thematic, make notes and follow the methods we used last time: (e.g.: thesis, argument, conclusion; synopsis of key texts;constant note taking &c.) We will use a few morning sessions in February to collate this information to make a collective report. Organize before the thematic, allocate tasks. Because you developed a method last time it should be quicker this time.
Unfinished business:
a) Cut the what whys and hows
b) update what why hows
c) re last thematic report: 1) make key of initials 2) place appropriate initials in brackets at end of each piece. For instance
"...into the public sphere, the original intention becomes impinged through the process of distribution. The nature of publicising content involves acts of distortion, corruption of intent, curatorial and editorial censorship and filtration. In order to present a coherent order of discourse from the multiplicity of sources to promote apparent “objectivity”, it becomes necessary to undergo selection, exclusion and inclusion. [SR]"

Note on Active Voice
Active & Passive
Reading: Politics and the English Language (1948) by George Orwell.
It's 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)
Experiment:
(a) Edit your essay excluding the passive voice. or: edit the text you wrote last week using the active voice. '
