Remember: Thursday Presenters Need to Distribute Excerpts By, Like, NOW

I think pasting this into "Send to" should reach everybody. Is there anybody this misses? Let me know!

It's crucial that folks have enough time to read and thoughtfully comment on the material you are presenting, else this is a futile exercise. Get on it.

Recall, this is just an 8-12 pp. excerpt focused on the description, contextualization, and analysis of an object, probably the one with which you feel comfortable and familiar already. (I note also that there is an open slot for presentations this Thursday, and possibly there is also a person who has not yet volunteered to present? Nudge? Nudge?)

I have only received papers from Claudia and Charlotte so far. Is that correct?

I have only received Claudia's.

I think that only two pieces have been distributed generally. It's a problem. And not the only one.

Dale: I will not be ready this week. Might you squeeze me in next week, as my review has not taken place?

Dale: thank you for clarifying the assignment, but can you clarify the term "object" as it is being used in the description of the assignment?

Dale Carrico said...

1. If an assignment is not clear to you, you should always ask me about it.

2. In the simplest term, an object is whatever you are talking about in the excerpt under discussion (it can be a body of work, a particular work, an exhibition, a school of thought in respect to some question, a space, any number of things).

3. It isn't necessary to have completed your review for you to submit an excerpt for discussion in the workshop, and you would not be alone among your colleagues were you to do so.

4. As you see, next week's sign-up sheet for presentations is full but this week's still has an opening -- that is why I suggested you might go ahead and present tomorrow. Squeezing in is difficult since it demands squeezing out, and given the size of our cohort there's already something of a squeeze generally in play.

Since the proposal you recently sent me contains some polished writing that will surely find its way -- tho' edited and polished and elaborated -- to your thesis in some form, it also seemed to me that you already had on hand enough material to submit a short 8-12pp. excerpt the discussion of which would be of some use to you. Again, that's why I thought you might have a go at presenting tomorrow.

I understand your reluctance, it's late in the day, it's fine, I was just providing an opportunity to get you back in the swing of things.
