This document discusses principles for archaeological practice, suggesting that archaeology move away from rigid narratives and models towards a more pragmatic and action-oriented approach. It argues that archaeology should focus on performance, discourse, and collaboration. Some key aspects of this pragmatic approach include mimetics, mediation, reenactment, dramaturgy, improvisation, embodied knowledge, memory, and simulation. Overall, the document advocates starting projects in medias res with a collaborative team focused on creative exploration through play, risk taking, and being willing to fail and try again.

Visual Argumentation
Visual argumentation refers to using visual elements like images, graphics, and design to present a premise, reasoning, and conclusion. Analyzing visual arguments requires identifying elements within images, understanding their context, establishing a consistent interpretation, and examining how perspectives change over time. The document discusses various theories and approaches for analyzing visual rhetoric, including semiotics, cultural studies, media studies, information visualization, and visual tropes. It provides examples of how logos and pathos can be conveyed visually and lists several key references on visual rhetoric.
Semiotics (Lit Crit)
Charles Sanders Peirce was an American philosopher who is considered the founder of semiotics, the study of signs and symbols. He defined semiosis as the triadic relationship between an object, sign, and interpretant. Ferdinand de Saussure was another founder of semiotics who proposed that signs are composed of a signifier and signified. Semiotics is the study of meaning-making and sign processes in communications. It examines both linguistic and non-linguistic sign systems. To critique using semiotics, one analyzes a text as a system of signs and their relationships to understand the meanings conveyed.
Learning styles final
This document discusses learning styles and multiple intelligence theories. It describes four main learning styles: mastery, interpersonal, understanding, and self-expressive. Each style has preferences for how information is learned and judged. The document also outlines eight intelligences - linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist - and provides examples of careers that suit each intelligence type within the four learning styles.

The document discusses the future of personal mobility and autonomous vehicles. It describes programs and researchers at Stanford University working in this area, including the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (d.school) and the Revs program at the Center for Automotive Research at Stanford (CARS). The document also shares a hypothetical story about a man's morning commute by autonomous car, and reflects on issues of design, human-centered design, and the growing role of design thinking.
Present simple,continuous
The document compares and contrasts the present simple and present continuous tenses in English. It provides the forms of each tense and examples. The present simple is used to describe habitual or repeated actions, while the present continuous is used to describe actions that are happening at the moment. Exercises are included to identify whether sentences use the present simple or present continuous tense.

Clinical Decision Support
This case study describes a patient undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery who is now in the surgical intensive care unit (SICU) post-operatively on mechanical ventilation. Effective clinical decision support could help clinicians:
1. Monitor the patient's vital signs and other parameters to determine when spontaneous breathing trials should begin to assess viability for extubation.
2. Utilize guidelines and best practices for extubation readiness based on the patient's status and progress to safely discontinue mechanical ventilation as quickly as possible to reduce health risks and costs.
3. Provide alerts and recommendations during the weaning process based on continuous monitoring to prevent complications and optimize outcomes.
"We're all archaeologists" - Revs Symposium 2015
The document discusses how car collectors should embrace an archaeological mindset in their collecting. It explains that archaeologists work with what remains from the past by encountering artifacts, organizing collections, and providing care. It advocates thinking of cars and their history through concepts like layering, ruins, and change over time rather than just dates. The document suggests that collectors treat their cars as living parts of the past by keeping them engaged through use and repair rather than just storing pieces staticly. It frames collecting as a collaborative effort that shapes how the past matters to the present and future.

Mobile Device Connectivity
The document discusses the benefits of mobile device connectivity for healthcare. It notes that over 30% of physicians make decisions with incomplete information, and mobile technologies could eliminate 11-30% of office visits. Remote monitoring is shown to reduce costs and hospital admissions for conditions like diabetes, congestive heart failure, and COPD. Widespread use of remote monitoring for chronic conditions could save over $200 billion in healthcare costs over 25 years. Standards-based WiFi technologies can effectively support remote patient monitoring.

This chapter discusses key accounting concepts including what accounting is, its users and uses, and generally accepted accounting principles. Accounting identifies, records, and communicates the economic events of an organization. It has both internal and external users, and is used to make decisions about financing, investing, and operating the business. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are standards that provide consistency in financial reporting. The chapter also covers the basic accounting equation, which shows the relationship between assets, liabilities, and owner's equity, and how business transactions affect this equation.
Intro Financial Market & Institutions

According to Theodore R. Schatzki, theorists who study practices tend to view them as materially present and changing over history, rather than as determined by rigid abstract structures. This amounts to a revolutionary materialist perspective. The author will illustrate this perspective and discuss how it presents dilemmas for philosophers of mathematical practices. They will also argue that culture is better viewed as the expression of values in practices, rather than as distinct anthropological units, in order to understand cultural change and facilitate cross-cultural communication without falling into materialism or post-humanism.
4. Vision, Rationale and Themes
This document outlines the vision and rationale for a new MA program in Critical Theory and Creative Research. It notes increasing divides between theory and practice as well as a lack of rigor in artistic research. The program aims to train students to think critically and creatively, combining various domains like visual/verbal, analogue/digital. It seeks to address issues like an overabundance of unpatterned information, technological changes blurring media divisions, and a lack of careers matching arts graduates' skills. The ideal candidates are artists and others interested in research-based work and new forms of knowledge production at the intersection of art and critical thought.
Critical Theory and Creative Research: Vision, Rationale, and Themes
This document outlines the vision and rationale for a new MA program in Critical Theory and Creative Research. It notes increasing divides between theory and practice as well as between different artistic mediums. The program aims to train students to think critically and creatively, to work across disciplines and mediums, and to develop new forms of rigorous yet imaginative research and cultural production. It seeks to foster skills in cultural critique, conceptualization, knowledge production and dissemination to address divides and prepare students for careers at the intersection of art, research and public scholarship.

This document summarizes and discusses the concept of "networked reenactments" which are experiments in communication across different fields of knowledge. It describes how various media like television documentaries, websites, museum exhibits, and academic works have used reenactments to help explain concepts to diverse audiences simultaneously. These reenactments became "epistemological melodramas" that tried to map connections between different knowledge domains and address many groups at once with limited control over how knowledge was presented. The document analyzes a TV program on Leonardo da Vinci as an example of using layered reenactments through simulation, narrative, and interactive elements to connect past and present understandings.
Future agenda: repositories, and the research process
This document discusses research data management in the context of non-standard archiving of research outputs, with a focus on challenges in the arts and humanities. It notes that while data reuse has long been integral to various creative disciplines, archiving creative research data presents unique issues not present in scientific disciplines. These include the personal nature of creative works, differentiating between research and personal works, issues with non-digital materials, and the blurry boundaries of creative research processes. The document raises questions around concepts like evidence, facts, and replication in subjective creative research.
Library Research Seminar V Alternate Reality Games Panel
This document summarizes research on alternate reality games (ARGs) and their relationship to 21st century literacies. It finds that ARGs incorporate many of the skills outlined in frameworks for 21st century literacies, including gathering information, problem-solving, collaboration, and managing/organizing data. The document also notes challenges in ARG design like maintaining a coherent fictional narrative while allowing player influence, supporting large-scale collaborative play, and gaining institutional support.
RESEARCH PRESENTATION: Critique Studio II
This document discusses methods for graduate students to break down disciplinary walls, including sharing food and social interaction. It then examines restoring historic commercial signage in fractured communities as part of architectural restoration projects. The document proposes a typology of four approaches to restoring signage: resurrection, preservation, reinvention, and appropriation. Each approach is defined by what happens to the original signage and the social functions served by the restored signage's style. The document considers possibilities for further developing this topic, such as case studies or a community design project. It clarifies the scope does not include branding or critiques of gentrification.

Urban School Performances is an international research project examining how theatre contexts and practices in schools impact youth engagement and identity. The research borrows from theatre approaches and resists traditional scientific objectivity. It collects multiple perspectives from researchers, participants, and their artistic works. Performances are studied both as artistic creations and cultural reflections. Digitizing performances introduces challenges of representation that require collaborative solutions respecting participants' agency. The goal is creative, context-sensitive research illuminating local voices within global discussions.

A structured approach to cultural studies of architectural space
This document proposes a conceptual structure for cultural studies of architectural space. It discusses:
1) Components of culture including technology, knowledge, and value systems spread along a spectrum.
2) The life-cycle of architectural space as a 4-stage process of problem formulation, design, construction, and use.
3) A graphical schema structuring areas of cultural study as the Cartesian product of the cultural component dimension and life-cycle stage dimension. Several example areas are illustrated.
4) Ways to differentiate the nature of cultural studies based on the subject matter, type of space, cultural groups, and cultural processes involved.

2009 a conceptual and analytical framework for interpreting the spatiality ...
This paper provides a framework for understanding the phenomenon of the discursive-material production of space, and also, for considering how unknowns may be organised. Language is instrumental to the production of place but has been overshadowed by investigations of material transformations. This is partly being redressed by the ‘linguistic turn’ in urban policy analysis over recent decades which recognise the performative aspects of language. However, the methodological ‘gap’ between discursivities and materialities remains as too often analysis of urban policy discourse has taken an aspatial analytic approach. Representations of space cannot be divorced from spatial practices and vice versa. Based on my premise that many visions, plans and strategies never materialise, and even some that do materialise have little bearing on what is produced, a mixed-method approach is required that considers the recursive interactions between spatial practices and representations of space. Grounded in the theories of Henri Lefebvre and Michel Foucault, which conceptualis space as a social process and broaden discourse to embrace spatial practice respectively, I devise a conceptual and operational analytics which I refer to as interpretive-spatial analysis with the goal of helping to bridge the problematic ontological, epistemological and methodological divide between discursivities and materialities.
Mapping Lived Place
This document discusses mapping lived place through an experiential lens. It describes mapping as a way to represent how elements of the physical environment are embodied in personal narratives. The author advocates studying movement as part of how meaning and place emerge, noting movement unfolds narratives within the environment. Case studies using mapmaking are presented, such as having workers map their work terrain and paths to represent associations to locations. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of methods to study people's experience of place on the move and how meaning practices are situated and unfold through movement within the physical world.
Dramaturgy as design
Dramaturgs play a critical role in connecting artists, institutions, and communities. They work with artistic collaborators to refine visions and goals for new and classic plays and dance pieces. Dramaturgs conduct research, support new play development through feedback and examples, and aid interpretation during productions with historical and analytical research. Dramaturgy examines dynamic relationships and applies that knowledge to creative works. It decodes meaning-making and how meaning is transferred. Dramaturgy is also beginning to be used as an analytical tool outside of theater, such as in user experience design to explore and evaluate user data and interactions.

- 11. reenactment — repetition or iteration so as to understand or re-present
- 12. dramaturgy — the arrangement of plot and action
- 13. scenography — setting, architecture, context, mise-en-scène, and the articulation of place/event
- 14. improvisation — adapting training and skill to unscripted action
- 15. tacit embodied knowledge and memory — habits, manners, apprenticeship, techniques of the body involved in any action or performance
- 16. memory — as in “theatre/archaeology" — the rearticulation of fragments of the past as real time event
- 17. performance as a third space — where experiment and trials may be attempted
- 18. rhetoric, as the practice of discourse — involving the likes of "narratio" (narrative), “dispositio" (arrangement), “elocutio" (delivery), “memoria” (archive and recall), and tropes such as parody, satire, irony

- 22. aesthetics — think, sense, feel, evaluate — experience
- 23. what are the keys to successful pragmatics?
- 24. start not with abstract principles, but in medias res — thrown in the midst of things
- 25. sociality — a team that gets on with each other
- 26. where "in medias res" refers to "res publica” — the commons or commonwealth, what we share as community
- 27. above all the creative confidence to explore, play, risk, fail, and try again
- 28. pragmatics and project management? a paradigm in design thinking (in convergence as the new liberal arts?)
- 29. design thinking as the liberal arts?
