Essaying through knowledge perspectives and knowledge fragments(NL)
PDF of accepted article (V1 edited)
To make something collective there needs to be a mutual understanding for fruitful engagement and accessibility. For this I am developing a tool for essaying the first step is how to deal with knowledge in essaying, second step would be how to go from mapping to performative essaying. In the article: Essaying through knowledge perspectives and knowledge fragments I theorized how we start essaying thought mapping.
The results from the article lead me to researching collectivity in diverse ways, to investigate the relation between the personal and the other. This is still in full process.
Mapping tool:
Step 1: Choose a topic kies een onderwerp and place this topic in the middle of yout (digital of physical fysieke) space. The topic starts with: On…
Step 2: make an inventory of your own knowledge perspectives and which knowledge perspectives you want to add.
Step 3: Per knowledge perspective you choose sources to take knowledge fragments from (chose a diversity of sources)
Step 4: Collect knowledge fragments from the different sources that connect to the perspectives (make sure you have a diversity in media types).
Step 4: place these knowledge fragments around you topic in relation to each other, if needed add keywords.Take a picture or screenshot
Stap 5: Give you rmap to someone else and let that person add knowedgefragments or perspectives. Take a picutre or screenshot.
Repeat: relfect on the added fragments and rearrange the map if needed. You can see this as a performative archive in contant process. Things dont leave the map but they can move place, further or closer, in clusters or in solitutde.

Knowledge fragments:
Collectivity in lecture performances
I am developing a method for interaction during and after lecture performance using cards. So far, I have had two opportunities to do so, but I want to develop this further. The cards can be used by public as ‘knowledge fragments’ witch which they can respond to the lecture performances.

Collectivity in workshops:
Through workshops there are multiple forms of collectivity are being investigated using the mapping tool as described n the article. One is collectivity as interacting with someone’s own topic; one person gives the map to another to contribute to
see RC page: Hanze workshop),
the other is collectively investigating a topic essayistically
see RC exposition: SAR Forum Workshop).

Collectivity in topics
There are three critical friends that I give access to my topical maps, they can contribute with their own references and responses. I have also sought contact with three potential collaborators on the topic On Pitbulls, I am still in the process of investigating the type of collectivity or interaction I am looking for and can ask of in an ethical manner. At the moments it is organizing conversations
