Course Content

Two Writers, One Assemblage
How collaborative authorship dissolves the single-author model and treats writing as a shared assemblage of voices, concepts, and influences.

  • 1.1 Writing as a Shared Assemblage

Beyond Authorship
Rethinking credit, ownership, and the idea of the single author in collaborative knowledge production.

The Book as Machine
Treating the book not as a container of meaning but as a device that does work and produces effects.

Rhizome versus Tree
Two contrasting models of organising knowledge: the branching hierarchy and the connective network.

Writing Across Disciplines
Strategies for writing that travels between fields without losing rigour or readability.

Concept Creation and Responsible Interpretation
How new concepts are made and used carefully, without distorting the sources they draw on.

Collaborative Editorial Methods
Practical workflows for editing together: roles, feedback, version control, and decision-making.

Publication Prototype
Turning collaborative material into a small, shareable prototype: from draft assemblage to a first public artefact.
