Méthodologie Civilisation Britannique L2 S3 Méthodologie d’analyse d’un corpus de documents, LCS. 2022-2023 Université @ BORDEAUX MONTAIGNE My work can be separated in three visual stages: -the Introduction -the Analysis -the Conclusion “As you may see these three stages are separate from one and another, you should neither start to analyse in the introduction nor conclude in the analysis. In the Introduction 1) Thanks to the theme/ subject/ thesis provided by the professor, you must define the subject: British poltics/ political dissention/ women in 18" century poltics/ British cities and countryside... 2) Then you are expected to present the document(s), author- source-date-context-addressee-main topics (ora very brief ‘summary but do not enter the analysis right away!) You may repeat this process for each document. 3) After completing these steps in this order, you may formulate the question that will guide your whole analysis. Your work can only contain one question or thesis, do not ask questions inside your analysis. 4) Finally, contrary to other academic works, you do not have to state your outline. Pour lintroduction vous pouvez utiliser le moyen mémotechnique suivant P.P.P: 1) Préambule : presentation du theme. 2) Présentation(s) de(s) document(s). 3) Problématisation du sujet. In the analysis, @QYour work cannot be divided into two parts like: 1) document A Il) document B. You have to compare both documents, draw some parallels, or identify concepts which set them apart. These documents were given to you for a compared analysis, do not hesitate to analyse them separately or as one. 1) Your ideas must be structured, and one at a time, one per paragraph. 2) To illustrate your idea(s) you must quote the text(s) or justify with analytical material from the images, you must at all time support your ideas with the documents. You are aiming at analysing the document(s) shedding some light onto its potential meaning(s). 1. You should not just only give @ quote or sum-up what the text is about, you would only ‘paraphrase, @ When | quote, | signal it with inverted comas “...” and give the prodigiously old.” 1.28 line number /. 8 so that the identification of the origin of your quote may be clear to any reader (this actively participates to an easy reading when correcting!) e.g: “My cozen Abigail is grown 3) After that | develop on my idea and the quote, you must not stop at quoting, this last step is meant for you to explain how this quote from the text supports your idea. You must prove the logical connection in between the two. To sum up: one solid idea = idea + quote + interpretation Pour le développement vous pouvez utiliser le moyen mémotechnique suivant |.C.J: 1) Ide : presentation de votre axe danalyse dans ce paragraphe. 2) Citation : je m’appuie sur les sources pour illustrer mon propos. 3) Justification : 'explique le lien entre mon idée et la citation, et les nouvelles informations que celle-ci apporte. Inthe conclusion 4) You need to sum up what you have uncovered so far, not just repeat the ideas you developed but the things you uncovered. 2) Then you answer the question/ thesis from your introduction, do not ask a different question, or do not try to rephrase it in any way. 3) You can add an opening at the end, yet this is not mandatory. The opening should be linked to the topic understudy, or linked to the general theme (slavery, women, landscape...) but you need to remain precise. Pour: fa conclusion vous pouvez utiliser le moyen “ mémotechnique suivant R.R.O: 1) Rappel:: je condense la totalité de ce que j'ai découvert au fil de analyse. 2) Réponse : je réponds a la question posée dans Vintroduction, grace & miles découvertes. 3) Ouverture : je compare ou illustre mon théme d’étude avec un ‘évenement ou un texte aux problématiques similaires. The don’ts = S >To begin one’s work with “Once upon a time” or “A long time ago” or “Twas” you are not narrating, this is not the beginning of a fairy tale. >To give one’s opinion on the matter, we don’t wish or intend to know your opinion on the subject you are working on. You must at all time remain focused on the document(s) understudy, and most of all remain objective. >To paraphrase, repeat or rephrase the text, merely explaining what the text is about. ">To give dates or context you are very much unsure of: *1794 abolition of slavery, *1834-1836 American Civil War. >To quote other authors or works that are not directly referenced in the text or subtext. >To talk about something entirely different, the French “Hors Sujet”
