DW pointed out that this literature review was more like a first draft than a second, in that it is a series of wide-ranging notes rather than a honed argument based around more selective texts. This in turn would be polished to become the final draft.
ACTION POINTS FOR JL
- Tidy up questions in document such as how to quote a song – use CITE THEM RIGHT (May 22 edition ordered from Amazon)
- Power not Powell reference re. DW’s work
- Use less flowery language
- Examine/Interrogate/Analyse/Evaluate
- Decide on a title
- “How Real is Nature” way too broad – narrow and specify
- Look at other dissertation proposals e.g. Barry’s
- Try writing the abstract
- Consider the British situation in comparison to other places e.g. Sweden or USA and the role of scale
- Use Footnotes
- Consider which authors are most appropriate
- Solnit, Burgin on Benjamin, Christenberry, Williams, Mapping references maybe yes
- Carlson and Cosgrove, etc. may be no
- Possibly reconsider impact of digital on photography after AI
- Originally on consumption not manipulation as predicted
- Now this may change …?
- An interesting subject but may be too broad again, my interest is in nature and how AI mimics evolution, at the moment I see AI as a useful tool e.g. for reducing noise rather than for producing complete works. It is also interesting for how it reflects back on the human condition – most notably captured perhaps via the novelist Kazuo Ishiguro in Klara and the Sun.
