The ways in which we are connected – various thoughts from the week
- Relations – media as a relational thing, eg the components within the frame/
- Tacit Knowledge – knowledge that is difficult to transfer to another person by means of writing it down or verbalising it. Egs: facial recognition, the notion of language itself, riding a bike
– We know more than we can tell
– Tacit knowledge as ‘artful doing’ - Process
- Problem-based learning = learn research skills, critical thinking, content, contextualising
- Cycle and Reflection = return to problem and think about it in what ways it is now different and from this make new decisions.
– make, test, critique, make changes - Roland Barthes:
– disenchantment with both established forms of writing and more experimental, avant garde forms which he felt alienate the reader
– art should be critical and should interogate the world, rather than seek to explain it
– search for individualistic meaning in art
– attempts to dissect and expose the misleading mechanisms of bourgeois culture
– limitations of signs and symbols, and Western culture’s dependency on beliefs of constancy and ultimate standards. - Constraint as liberation – frames 10, 40 and 70 minutes into a film
- Multi-linearity
- Entanglement
- Sketches: suggest and explore, intentionally ambiguous
- Specificities matter much more than generalisations
- Juxtaposition
- Multiplicity: being in two places/two things at once
- Readerly Texts: classic texts presented in a familiar, linear, traditional manner. Meaning is fixed and predetermined. The reader merely receives information.
- Writerly Texts: reader takes an active role in the construction of meaning. There is a proliferation of meanings and a disregard of narrative structure.
