In this series of workshops we concentrate on methods of annotation and text analysis which help us research this trimester's Special Issue. Each session has a specific outcome.
XPUB1: 20 Sept 2023- 11:00 - 17:00 Methods for PROTOCOLS FOR AN ACTIVE ARCHIVE with Steve + Lidia, in the aquarium
XPUB1: 11:00 - 17:00 Methods with Steve + Lidia, in the aquarium
Methods sesh #1 PROTOCOLS FOR AN ACTIVE ARCHIVE with Lidia and Steve
Outcome for the day: 4 annotations and discussion in which reading experiences are compared.
Outcome for the PROTOCOLS FOR AN ACTIVE ARCHIVE methods seminars (December): an annotated reader.
Intro:
Whilst working on PROTOCOLS FOR AN ACTIVE ARCHIVE, the methods sessions provide a moment to step back and consider the special issue we are working on. We take time to reflect. In the first session we will experiment with methods of collective annotation. This is an informal, group activity that helps collective reading and thinking. We read and take notes, share knowledge and raise questions.
1) Brief intros: how, what and why we annotate?
Protocol: For this session Steve and Lidia have chosen 4 texts which relate to PROTOCOLS FOR AN ACTIVE ARCHIVE. We will try out a collective annotation in a big group to establish the principle. As we progress, we can use these reading and annotation sessions to add texts (in which case "text" can be widely defined) and establish new protocols through which to collectively annotate. After several sessions a "reader" will be generated.
2) The group split into 4 sub-groups and annotate one of the texts below.
3) The groups will gather into one group and reflect on their reading of the texts (the "thesis", the similarities and differences between texts).
4) Building a PROTOCOLS FOR AN ACTIVE ARCHIVE bibliography together (in which case "bibliography" can be widely defined).

Methods Session #2
11:00 - 17:00 Xpub1 Methods with Lídia
Methods sesh #2 PROTOCOLS FOR AN ACTIVE ARCHIVE with Lídia
Outcome for the day: Collective visual mapping exercise, introduction to PROTOCOLS FOR AN ACTIVE ARCHIVE glossary
Outcome for the PROTOCOLS FOR AN ACTIVE ARCHIVE methods seminars (December): an annotated reader.
Intro:
In the second session, we will finish the collective annotation experiment of our previous session. In order to start processing the materials and connecting these texts to what you have been doing and reading with Michael, Manetta & Joseph, we will then get started on a visual mapping exercise in order to link concepts, practices and ideas. This map will be an ongoing process. Finally, we will introduce the PROTOCOLS FOR AN ACTIVE ARCHIVE glossary.
1) Finish collective annotation exercise in 4 groups.
2) The groups will gather into one group and reflect on their reading of the texts (the commonalities, the divergences, the updates, agreements and disagreements).
3) Collective visual mapping of concepts, practices and ideas discussed so far.
3) Introduction of PROTOCOLS FOR AN ACTIVE ARCHIVE glossary.
