Problems with finding texts relevant to my area of study:
The texts are often outdated and do not contain up-to-date information, even by a few years. This means that I find that online texts are preferable to physical ones as they are more updated.
Process of reading...
Skimming, taking down key quotes and notes, trying to find nuggets of information that are relevant to what I am studying and looking for, looking at chapter titles to direct me to the right area. Indexes, looking for keywords, asking tutors. Writing down thoughts and responses.
What worked for you?
Using both online and physical resources, using the library as well as books I found on Google Books and recommended texts.
How do you get what you need?
J-STOR - has more updated articles. Google Books, the library.
Vocabulary - Search Terms - Triangulation
Social media - character - robots - automation - fandom - influencers - aesthetics - trends - identity
Task 3 - Select and define important terms/concepts you have discovered through your reading
Collect and analyse examples/images/phenomena that could be interpreted as following these concepts.
How could they be used to interpret your theme/question? Triangulate with theorists and critics.
