User:Kim/writing/Thesis outline draft (2)

This outline draft refers to the e-reader-server project proposal

How to draft an outline?

step 1

1. What do you WANT to write? [What will the text be about? (thesis). What do you want to explore? Be clear about HOW you want to tell your story.]

I aim to map a field of writing technologies an how they create power imbalances and authority of text and draw a connection to practices of community and solidarity in writing through the practice of self hosting a server on a device that is naturally a reader. This text will be written in close proximity with the server by interweaving writing and scripting.

2. Outline three key issues you want to explore. (Please think of only 3 key issues)

1. low tech server, self hosting, repurposing hardware
2. technologies of text
3. community of texts

step 2

Intro (what is this text about?)

Key issue 1 = chapter 1

This chapter will lay out the practice of self hosting as a political act, highlight the importance of repurposed hardware and low-tech approaches, adjacent to permacomputing, right to repair, unrepair and then move to the socio-technical qualities of the e-reader

Key issue 2 = chapter 2

Key issue 3 = chapter 3

Conclusion
