Data Collations: Pattern Making
The fact that Tokumitsu's focus on creativity and doing what you love does not take into account a pre-capitalist ideas of work changes
our analysis of the assumptions of academic laborers
by
explaining the historical reasons for valuing of hand-crafting products and self-directed creativity.
The A to Z Method
for Thinking, Reading, and Writing
Data Collations
- Yes AND; Yes BUT;
- Again, look to make any connections: don't prejudge
- Can be very recursive
• What shared elements of appearance or essence can you note? Are there similarities in Shape? Size? Sound? Smell? Color?
• What smaller functions are revealed in the O? Is there some action or activity that appears in each? Are there movements/parts/actions that serve similar needs?
• What choices did the creator make in placement? Do things happen at similar times, either chronologically or in placement (after a certain event, or in a particular position in a line/stanza/page)? Are things next to each other physically? Or opposed?
• What causes the elements in O?
• What are the shared uses or purposes of O? What is done with these elements? What do they achieve?
• What is the effect of O? How does it achieve that effect? What details contribute to the overall effect? Might it have different effects on different audiences? What choices did the author/artist make in order to achieve that effect?
Data Dumps
- Suspend Judgment
- Use guides as ways to guide what you look for
- You may end up going back: once you notice, say, a weird pause in one line of poetry, you may realize it also happened in an earlier line
Let's Get Recursive
- return to same text
- use what you've noticed to focus in, while remaining open
Outcome Yes AND: Female Power
Use/Purpose Yes AND: Religious symbols
__The fact the scene is shot from below__ is surprisingly like __calling Gozer a "prehistoric bitch"_ in terms of _outcome._
By this, I mean _____the outcome__ is ____making women seem powerful because they are visually bigger (description of how it fulfills the term in the box)__ in ____being shot from below___ and the same holds true in ___calling Gozer a prehistoric bitch___ in terms of ____bitch being a term that connotes a strong woman who is attacked for her power (description of how it fulfills the term in the box) __. Noticing this pattern of ____portraying and attacking female power (a more precise definition of term from the box above¬)___ suggests that ____Gozer's masculine appearance (new detail not in original collation/dump)____ is also a part of this collation because it _____ portrays a female power while suggesting it is not appropriate (description of how it fulfills the term in the box) __.
