Methodologies
and critical analysis - 13/10/15 - Notes
Research - Define the best method of
research through comparison and analysis.
Consider logic, reason and critical
analysis.
Methodology
Essential – evidencing the use of
methodological approach.
Design your own methodology and subsequent
plan to create the most appropriate responses.
Defining the most effective questions and
the creating of a method to interpret the results.
Simply, a method to gain research.
Create several methodology proposals to define
the most efficient and record this therefore showing critical reflection.
Evidence this on the blog.
Intellectual enquiry, critical analysis, critical reflection into
methodological defining and the journey into doing that.
Methodology can be compared to a point of
view, each has different results and experiences of the same subject. Each has
it’s own prejudices, benefits – define the most objective method.
Look at PALGRAVE STUDY SKILLS for help with
defining Methodologies.
Explain why research items are the most
appropriate / relevant – e.g why that library, why that journal, why journals
at all? Etc
Create a research plan so soon.
Methodology reflection:
-
Predictions
-
Preconceived problems
-
Benefits
-
Negatives
-
Critical Analysis (visual and
theoretical)
-
Requirements
-
Quantitative or qualitative
Explain every reason, every action, every
thought process. Every reason you’re not looking at a specific thing, specific
movement – this shows a great knowledge of field. Show criticality.
Change working into a process of
researching, how can a practical element create results through its completion.
Methodology needs to set out in
introduction (500 words max)
Research
Applying predictions to case studies to
discover if hypothesis are evident.
Acknowledge limitations of methodologies
and theories.
Hebdidge subcultural style.
Critical / Skeptacism / Reasoned thinking
Objective evidence which has arose through
my investigation.
When researching – considering the
subjectivities and context of the individual who create the work. Look for the
agenda of the individual. Where were they coming form? Intellect / emotional /
philosophical, political.
Context is everything.
Do this to myself – physco analyzing ones
self – define my agenda and the point of view which may effect / become
evident.
Talk about remix culture / theory so clean.
To what extent is the subversion of visual
cultures derived from past subcultures evident in contemporary ?
Think of the best way I can interrogate the
question, how can I argue, answer the question.
‘Both Hebdege and Clarke’ shows
triangulation, compare opinions.
CREATE A BUZZ OF REFERENCES
Criticize the source.
What am I saying about this question – use
post it note.
What is the point I’m trying to make –
don’t lose sight of this FOCUS.
Thought:
Visual signifiers created through real
responses to context are appropriated in contemporary design, the aesthetic is
evident however the agenda is lost. Is it right to do this by contemporary
designers. How are these initial, original signifiers created and how can I use
the methodology to do so in contemporary practive.
Consider the perspective I may adopt –
choose a perspective!!
Marxist
Socio
Physco
Postmo
Positivist
Fundamentalist
Feminist
Post colon
Triangulation – throwing multiple ideas at
a subject to create results – mathematical logic. Create a mean answer – an
answer derived from the average of multiple. The more sources for triangulation
create more refined results, stronger evidence to conclude upon.
Paragraphs, para-phrase, summary of
theories all used for citation.
To do:
Look into citation techniques!
I need to define a methodology
