Hi Kate,
Thank you for your comments.
That's more it, different ways of knowing. Different perspectives on
the text. This because I want to transform the words in images and
somehow I can't make my brain think visually on a text that I wrote.
Because that was the physycal shape the idea took in my head, of a
text. So that's why I am analysing my text, taking a different
perspective on it. I might ask as well questions to other people about
it.
Regards
Ana

> If you were analysing somebody else's texts, I suppose you would draw
on hermeneutics, which is a mode of analyis that suggests ways of
understanding textual data and the meaning of texts. As you are working
with a text that you have written yourself, in attempting to analysise
your text in this way, are you trying to understand something from more
than on perspective - different ways of knowing?

techniques to try and understand your own choice of words. For
example, you could ask yourself a series of question, such as:

between the things you are talking about in the text? What is the
relationship between the things you are talking about in the text and
other aspects of this project?
