Jane Chen WRDS 150 Making and Maintaining Knowledge I — Worksheet (WRDS 150A) 1. In the slides, I identified three different types of self-reference, two of which are discussed in Chapter 13. Using the Hinzo and Clark’s “Methods” section (pp. 796–798): a) Locate two examples of methodological self-reference. (Remember that this type of self-reference involves “We argue that the Trickster is called into being in Indigenous social media through the practices of meme-sharing” (Hinzo and Clark, 796). “We attempted to trace collected images to original artists, many of whom had first shared their work with their followers via Instagram” (Hinzo and Clark, 797). b) Locate the one example in the passage where a step of methodology is presented in an agentless construction (i.e.: There is no agent in the sentence. / e.g.: Interviews were conducted.) “The humor included frequent expressions of incongruity and irony, as we note below” (Hinzo and Clark, 797) c) Locate the one example of subject position self-reference. (Remember that this type of self- reference involves telling the reader something about the researcher’s identity that is relevant to their role in the production of knowledge.) “Memes are noteworthy for their spreadability, as they are easily captured and shared among internet users” (Hinzo and Clark, 796).
2. In their “Introduction,” Hinzo and Clark include a paragraph about themselves (detailing their subject positions) right before their statement of purpose. Notice that it is also just after the orchestration that maps the knowledge deficit. Take a moment to revisit this part of the article. Next, look at Karsgaard and MacDonald’s introduction. There is an orchestration that starts on page 1207 and then culminates on page 1208 with their research question. Their statement of purpose follows. So, this rhetorical moment is similar to the one that you just reviewed in Hinzo and Clark’s article. How does the process of setting up of the statement of purpose differ in Karsgaard and MacDonald’s article? Can you glean any hints about their subject position? What is the role of established knowledge in setting up their statement of purpose? Kaarsgard and Macdonald’s article begin with a quantitative approach by stating the expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline and the increase of bitumen barrels. This information is used to address the concerns of indigenous communities that oppose the pipeline expansion project. This resulted in “inadequate consultation with them as sovereign peoples” (Kaarsgard and MacDonald, 1207), as the lands being worked on belonged to the indigenous people and was never properly given up to the Canadian government. This is addressed by stating the issue that “the naturalization of settler centrality is a ‘continual disavowal of history, Indigenous peoples’ resistance to settlement, Indigenous peoples’ claims to stolen land, and how settler colonialism is indeed ongoing, not an event contained in the past’” (Kaarsgard and MacDonald, 1207). Furthermore, as stated by Kaarsgard and MacDonalds, the settler colonial debate is present on the social space of Instagram. This began the formation of the Trans Mountain Pipeline project controversy, setting up statements in order to highlight the purposes of the hashtags study.
