I have started to draft my essay, I posted my data a couple days ago though my data is still a work in progress i wish to get at least one more interview. this is the outline/draft for my ethnogrpahical study on the sub community royal snapping artists.
the age old saying a picture is worth a thousand words remains a motto with a thousand meanings. Pictures can communicate in many different ways, they are also a way to communicate without using words. in this new age where people want instant gratification and everyone is a visual learner its important to be able to express and communicate through images.
In his book Genre Analysis, English in academic and research setting, John Swales discuses many topics in literature and communication. One aspect he touches on is the discourse community. This kind of group can be may things, but one thing it is not is simple. There is a vast array of aspects that qualify a certain group as a discourse community, these are means of communication as well as its own terminology.
swales quotes plus brannick
methods To conduct research, apart from being a member of the group (and therefore being privy to knowledge someone outside the group may not have) I interviewed two members of the group(hopefully will get that second one in)
how to get into the group? should I include this
instagram is a worldwide community with numbers reaching the millions.
the Royal Snapping, according to Richter, “is a community which supports and promotes its members”.
goals- My Own personal goals when joining RSA was to promote my own photos, but I also enjoy seeing the beauty of other places. We have a variety of members from around the world to represent their own area, I along with a couple other people represent New Jersey. When Dan originally joined this community he says it was to become a better photographer, then once he had accomplished an experienced level of picture taking he now promotes himself more.
mechanisms for communication- liking following and comments
communication feedback
genres Sean Branick describes genres as text that helps facilitate communication between people (Wardle 559). these also include ways of communicating which further the aims of the community.
lexis- terminology according to swales: hashtag instameet handle define plus give examples
conclude findings
conclusion
