Lesson Plan: Introduction to Bibliography as a Relative Practice
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Textual objects and bibliography shape and are shaped by social dimensions of time and culture whenever they are produced, collected, and read.
2. Distinguish between different types of description and sites of authority for descriptive practices.
3. Acquire general awareness of bibliographical competencies that facilitate deep readings and descriptions of material texts; how might these be obtained & why they are important. These fall into 3 categories:
a. Material specific competencies – analysis of bindings, paper, parchment
b. Manufacturing (by machine and by hand) specific competencies – printing (duplication, letterpress, xylographic, intaglio, lithographic), scribal practice
c. Cultural & critical competencies – language skills, critical analysis, knowledge of historical and stylistic contexts, ethical obligations
