Presentation

presentation of the [declarations research project](https://declarations.style/pages/about.html), showing a few example from the [observatory](https://declarations.style/observatory.html)

(to complete)

• intro declarations (from about page)
• it's a standard: browser war, can i use

Prescriptive and descriptive language & haikon lee example

• inline-block fable, instinct
• declarativeness linked to intentions, "words have a will of their own"), myriam suzane video
• how the research have been coordinated so far
• special issue will focus on: a research on standard; a diagonal approach to language as ethymologist, a new way to look at this language (linguist instead of learning a language?)

Entering CSS linguistics

Monday 6 January

todo:

• rework declarations about page (with some cards & drawing)
• pick 3 texts to share already w/ lydia
• iframe in wiki
• finish writing special issue introduction here

presentation of declarations and of the special issue

a first exerice [Declarative companion](https://declarations.style/declarative-companion-le75-graphic-design.html) but in group to share knwoledge, on a pad, using octomode

Monday 13 January

todo:

• small page that present display, and position, i will need iframes to start them!
• space to drop lot of images?

morning

• sharing moment about the **Declarative companions** made last time.
• css story of the day (Doriane pick one thing from the observatory and tell a story about it)
• meeting: `display` and `position`, the two properties we are going to look at.

   * outside of CSS what does those words means to you in graphic design?
   * outside of graphic design what does those words means to you?

• starting a media collection (nextcloud or wiki ?), to drop images of thing that echoes with the words: display, block, inline, flow, root, outer-inner, position, static, sticky, fixed, absolute, relative, inherit, initial.
• browsing exercice: go through website we know and try to pick up interesting example of all those uses, through the inspector and screenshoting
• starting reading the standard page

looking at the practice of arpentage (land surveying in EN)

Put forward from lower class worker desiring knowledge, but without academic background, splitting complex text between participants to only read 1 para then explain in simplest possible language to others. Creating diagonal reading / sensible (collective) understanding. Use for reading!

Monday 20 January

todo:

• to read for that day: Nolwenn maudet - tactical design translation

• css story of the day (Doriane pick one thing from the observatory and tell a story about it)
• introduction to browser extension, the tactical interest of browser extension, how do they work concretly
• **using CSS to reveal CSS, by styling element differently according to which property they are using**. making of the "lens" extension: when extension is activated it reveal in a graphical way the `display` and `position` properties on every website (ex: all element using `display: flex;` have a cyan outline, and we get information when hovering them)

   * group 1 decide of how to display `display`, using CSS
   * group 2 decide of how to display `position`, using CSS
   * group 3 write the js that add classes to elements

Deep dive & ethymology

from now on, we'll be dividing in two groups: one group focusing on `display` and `position`. groups will have moment to share back to the rest of the students their research progress.
