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.
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.
PHASE 2:
1 Clustering (20 min)
clustering
Perform the knoledge fragments in the mind map;
- How do they relate?
- What is the proximity to the topic/oject?
- What is the proximity to each other?
- Which ones can be clustered?
- feel free to add new keywords/synonyms in your mind map
PHASE1
1: Experiential ways of knowing
- How did I personally experience (topic/object) in the past?
- How do I personally experience (topic/object) currently?
Form:
poetry, diary, song text, play, podcast
For instance:
- Anecdotes / situations / experienes
- Songs or books from your past
- emotions / feelings / physical
- context (house, garden, vacation, car, etc.)
Mapping tool:
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).
See RC exposition: PD Workshop
2: Sensorial ways of knowing
- How does (topic/object) sound? (form = audio)
- How does (topic/object) feel? (form = object tactility/material)
- How does (topic) look? (form = visual)
- How does this (topic/object) move? (form = performative/video)
- How does it tast/smell? (form = sent/smell reference)
This part is not about discussing the questions, but expressing them in the requested form, start drawing, share sounds,exppress movements, try to work through through these forms
Record, video, draw, upload,
PHASE 3: Contextual - (Inter)relational (15 min.)
- Who/what is this (object/topic) in relation to?
- who/what is affecteded?
- who/what has influence?
- who/what is included/excluded?
- What ways of knowing and what knowledge fields are there lacking/missing?
For instance:
- other people
- non-human animals
- nature
- materials
- technology
How is relationallitypracticed?
Ethics and relationality - culures of consent / safeguarding
Ethical dimentions
Mapping tool:
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

3: Rational ways of knowing
- How does the (topic/object) relate to theoretical sources?
Choose knowledge perspectives:
note: chose at least 2 you unfamiliar with
- historical perspective
- economical perspective
- political perspective
- material research perspective
- Law etc.
Per perspective look at different sources:
- news/media articles
- academic papers/books
- dictonary/etymological definitions
3 (Inter)relationality (15 min.)
- Who/what is this (object/topic) in relation to?
- who/what is affecteded?
- who/what has influence?
- who/what is included/excluded?
- What ways of knowing and what knowledge fields are there lacking/missing?
For instance:
- other people
- non-human animals
- nature
- materials
- technology
