, Knowledge Clip #1 on Research Questions
Defining a research question
- Recircare = to wander, to walk hither and tither
- Rechercher = to seek out, search intensely
- Research (17th century) = scientific inquiry
- Do not be afraid to wander and wonder
- In which field?
Cultural history and cultural analysis (dominant approaches to research regarding culture)
- Culture
o Basic scholarly situation: cultural background and position (every researcher is
always already positioned)
- Example: The same song performed by two different artists from different cultures changes
completely in terms of lyrics, sound, rhythm, faces, voices, etc.
o Approach: a scholarly body of principles and methodologies that defines the angle
from which you deal with a cultural object or situation
Cultural history: historical reconstructions, matters of influence and change
Cultural analysis: looking at how in the present cultures are marked by a
dynamic of layers and relations
- What is it you want to know? How? Why?
- What is it you would like to understand? How? Why?
Question
- Quaerere = to look for, to search, to ask
- Too general or too broad
o how is it possible that coco was received so well in different cultures?
Non-specific: ‘how is it possible’ ‘received’ ‘so well
Too broad: ‘different cultures’
- So be specific and in order to be specific: scale down
o How can the movie’s emphasis on crossing a seemingly impenetrable border in order
to reunite families be read in the light of current circumstances at the US-Mexican
border?
- Hypothesis = something that you think might be the case and that helps you to search for a
confirmation
o In coco the land of the dead can be read as a topsy turvy mirror of US American
society
- You may find what you set out to find, but you may also find something else or nothing
o Darwin Peacock: ‘a fictional social network diagram. It consists of 165 nodes and
1851 edges’
