Intro:
 
[[MockUpMethods]]
 
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.
 
== Method for all the sessions==
 
For every session there is a different task, which employs a different writing reading or notation method. I will set no assignments outside of the class, but you must commit to trying the methods I suggest for the day of the seminar. Over the three trimesters you will accumulate a collection of texts and approaches to writing which serve as a resource as you go into the second year.
 
==Outcome of the seminar (trimester three) ==
 
The specific outcome for the RW&RM seminar of 2019-20 will be a 1500 word text which reflects on your own practice 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 practice. In common with all modules on the course RW&RM serves to support your self-directed research. Therefore, the text on practice 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.
