Manual diary: MTM preparations

The manual process is gaining momentum. We had a meeting which established a board for the publication process (minutes). In the proposal, the publication was announced as a publication that provides "best-practice advice". I believe that none of us is comfortable with this rather patronising term. For this reason, I'm very happy about two words-to-work-with that reformulate this term: 
  • The manual should be a honest account of our work within this Horizon 2020 project. This directs attention to the real research process with it's ups and downs, rather than a glossy how-to guide by know-it-all experts.
  • The book should read like an open-ended peer-to-peer conversation. We can adress readers on eye-level, rather than as newbies in need of expert advice.
We are now working with CCPs and workshop partners towards the MTM. Three workshops are planning to work with rough field materials on TRACES core concepts:
  • Encounters with contentious collections (WP3 and WP5) focusses on museums, and covers the "transmission" aspect of TRACES.  "Contentious heritage" is included from a museum perspective. 
  • Making sense of field material (WP2 and WP4) deals with the research process so far, and focusses on the aspects "contentious heritage" and "creative co-production". 
  • A workshop on reflexive Europeanisation (WP4 and WP5)  will explore the European dimension of our localised work.
These are ideally four sets of reflexive field materials from each TRACES unit. This will be a substantial body of content to develop contributions for the manual. I'm aware that choosing or preparing these materials over the next few weeks is real, hard, reflexive work. My hope is that for the CCPs, this process feeds into the MTM-presentations, helps to identify crucial points in the respective research processes and heritage settings, and ties in with the questions asked by WPs. Please don't hesitate to ping me if you think I can help, or just want a peer-to-peer chat.
So much for today,
best, Marion
