Discussion with Ramneek ma'am
- Begin analyzing the data collected from your observations, look at the things common in all the four places, then note all the things that are exclusive to each place
- Focus down your research towards one single direction
- Examining how people in Delhi react to and on a bench in public spaces.
- "The bench is an object, relatively western to our culture, a colonial absorption" What’s the basis of this assumption? Or is this what you want to research on?
- "They offer a pin hole into Delhi’s current society, and that is what I’m attempting to discover through my research" Is this the focus of your research? Are you trying to understand Delhi’s current society? Or examining how people in Delhi react to a bench?
Please understand that you have to answer Why this topic or focus?
- "Since I am a communication designer/visual researcher, my research will clearly give me a different point of view. One that will allow me to understand visual cues, body postures and gestures, which is something I believe, is important in conducting this research" You are expected to justify: What is the purpose of your research for you and for a wider audience? How is your research useful to others?
- "What Cultural, Societal, Social issues are in play?" Isn’t societal and social the same? What about the play of environment/ space? Based on the topic or focus, you should be asking: What is a bench? How do people react differently to a bench in different public spaces in Delhi?
- "3. How is a bench visualized in different media? What are the conventions and stereotypes in the imagery" This question is not related to your topic ‘examining how people in Delhi react to a bench!’
