Yesterday I submitted an iteration of the essay knowing I had a great deal still to do. That includes:
- Figure out a consistent way of dating people I refer to. If they’re dead I should make sure everyone has DOB and DOD in brackets next to their names. Only some have that at the moment.
- But what about people who are alive? Not everyone’s DOB is available? So should I just not include this convention for those who are alive? What’s the rule on this?
- I went through citations this morning listing everyone mentioned so I can double-check the bibliography- I reckon I’ll need a day set aside to make sure it’s absolutely accurate – far from it right now.
- I’ll need to be certain of secondary citations too.
- Look for sloppy sentences – have identified some which need editing to say what I mean more accurately ie change unconscious to preconscious re Klingemann
Any advice from anyone who knows for sure about dating people would be welcome.
I almost changed the title to The Case Against Representationalism but switched back to its current one. I think it’s more accurate. However, I will discuss that with my tutor.
Still feeling it’s far too big a topic for 5000 words but it nevertheless feels such an important thing to be investigating and talking about that maybe that outweighs the inadequate space/length.

I couldn’t see anything in either the old or new Harvard Referencing Guide we have re authors’ birth dates. Maybe the OCA librarian can help.

I have added to all the dead names (I think – will probably see ones I missed on the next read) but not sure what to do about the non-dead ones. I will compile a lost of things to ask the librarian!

I was unaware that we had to put a DOB or death so will be interesting to find out. Thanks for pointing it out Sarah-Jane !

I’m just going by what I see in books and essays I read elsewhere – and it makes sense to situate where in time someone was working. But maybe we don’t it at all!
