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).

'''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.

Revision as of 15:26, 1 September 2025

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.

2025/2026

Trim 1: SI28 Writing Machines–Protocols–Feedback

During Special Issue 28 the bi-weekly methods classes will focus on reading, note taking & documentation practice:

  • Reading texts relevant to the current Special Issue (reading groups);
  • Group discussion to establish a common vocabulary and set of references to work from;
  • Establishing an annotation, note taking and documentation practice;
  • Conducting a literature survey (personal reader): collect texts for personal reader related to SI and personal interests.
  • Editorial work (publication): use rough drafts to develop your ideas further (through copy-editing, rewriting and peer review).

For a class schedule + focus of each methods class see: https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mediadesign/Writing_Machines%E2%80%93Protocols%E2%80%93Feedback

Trim 2: SI29

During Special Issue 29 the methods classes will focus on glossary writing (and thinking through questions of language, shared vocabulary, "academese", the (im)possibility of static definitions and more):

  • Reading core theoretical texts relevant to the course and the topics discussed in the current Special Issues (reading groups);
  • Group discussion to establish a common vocabulary and set of references to work from (glossary writing);
  • Esayistic methodologies:

* close reading, * annotation, * description;

  • Conducting literature survey (personal reader): collect texts for personal reader related to SI and personal interest;
  • Iterative drafting of texts (learning/thinking through writing): use rough drafts to develop your ideas further (through copy-editing, rewriting and peer review).

Class schedule: to be announced!

Trim 3: SI30

During Special Issue 30 the methods clases will focus on (re)writing Projects that May or May not be Made (PMOMMs) and the personal reader;

  • Reading core theoretical texts relevant to you;
  • Conducting literature survey (personal reader): filter what is relevant to your research and create comparative pieces of analysis;
  • Iterative drafting of texts (learning/thinking through writing) through "Projects that May Or May not be Made" (PMOMMs) and personal reader:

* developing a method of drafting texts, * use rough drafts to develop your ideas further (through copy-editing, rewriting and peer review) * structure your use of notes and references;

  • Writing descriptions, analysis and contextualisation of your own (collective) practice (for personal reader and PMOMMs).

Class schedule: to be announced!
