january 2016 skulking in holes and corners skulking in holes and corners genteelly observing the enemy since 2011 about me about symbol key ememh titles citing the blog reviews subscribe to rss archive january 2016 january 13 2016 in historiography leave a comment when it rains it pours early modern european military history ememh is a small field or so i thought until i started to dust off my old grad school projects late 1990s on the french side of the louis xiv s last war then i discover as i ve already detailed that there are quite a few french scholars now interested in the subject so it s only fitting that as i draft the final few pages of my book chapter on siege capitulations only 18 years in the making i discover yet another scholar not french interested in this particular subject swart erik defeat honour and the news the case of the fall of breda 1625 and the dutch republic european history quarterly 46 no 1 january 2016 6 26 abstract the honour of the polity closely tied to military success was of great importance in seventeenth century european international relations this article provides an analysis of the importance of the honour of the polity in the early dutch republic the late sixteenth and first half of the seventeenth century and the role of military success and failure as crucial matters in this it also contributes to the debate about the position of the republic now no longer seen as an anomaly in european relations in existing research scant attention is paid to the role of military glory in this a military defeat the loss of breda in 1625 functions as an analytical tool analysing the manner in which this defeat was dealt with enables an assessment of the importance of the republic s honour in a national and international context huhn sieges and honor i guess it s a growth industry which leads to a minor dilemma since my current chapter is almost finished and i ve been working on it forever i m taking the unusual tack of intentionally and stubbornly ignoring the content of these other works at this stage i ve adopted this approach for two reasons first my own chapter is very focused in time space and subject how honor and shame was distributed in sieges primarily flanders during the war of the spanish succession more importantly i ve got too much to do as it is too many primary sources i still need to skim through and the chapter is already overdue i just this week figured out the organization for this convoluted chapter and wouldn t you know it spring semester starts next week in other words not enough time over a short winter break to read through a 650 page french dissertation a few book chapters and now a brand new journal article then think about how they all relate to my own thesis potentially refine reformulate my own research then do some additional research in my sources based off of my new thoughts and then draft it all up conceivably even requiring a reorganization of my chapter ain t nobody got time for that i am however mentioning their works in a footnote with the tried and true too late to be incorporated into this work i feel a slight bit sheepish doing this but at least it s intellectually honest and in an odd way i wonder if it s a courtesy to these other scholars obviously in the case of dissertations it doesn t steal the thunder of other scholars and on the other side of the coin i can also truthfully claim that i came up with the ideas all by myself it certainly wouldn t be the first time such convergent scholarship evolved compare for example michèle virol s le siège de namur de 1692 l héroïsme et la technique dix septième siècle 228 no 3 september 1 2005 465 88 with my diss vauban under siege and i d feel bad if i disagreed with their work and felt compelled to attack their work i think there s some kind of honeymoon period or something all this uncertainty not surprisingly circles back to that whole question about how to characterize a historiography that s in flux that i ve discussed before so when do you stop incorporating new works into your own and why when reading other scholars works how up to date do you expect their historiography to be january 8 2016 in research leave a comment and i still haven t found what i m looking for photo of my drafting space for this interminable siege capitulation chapter i mean i thought my analysis of how garrison capitulations were interpreted was complicated but sheesh that s what i get for trying to be systematic about 49 different sieges 125 if i were greedy with a few dozen sources on each the ugly side of historical research key a imac with scrivener for composing i m ambivalent about scrivener s sidebar chunks they get out of control too quickly zotero for bibliographing and devonthink for the database sources primary secondary searching metadata research journal b printed very very very rough draft of chapter sections with edits c scraps of paper one sub argument with multiple subpoints per quarter sheet incorporate into the draft and into the recycling basket you go d tiny post it notes with single facts documents thoughts prose to include somewhere all the quotes notes and source summaries are kept in dtpo e file folders with larger miscellaneous notes on the project usually stored long term in case i ever go back to the topic the laptop is usually on the right when i need additional screenspace and of course hard copy books occasionally make a cameo as well still considering buying a book holder unless wayne is going to build a book wheel for me i m usually still thinking through various bits at the drafting stage start writing before you think you re ready to write or at least by the time it s already overdue so i write down questions and ideas on small sheets of paper constantly asking myself what s my main point here and why would anybody care and who am i arguing with common questions for this project what was the process by which a surrendered how did x y and z respond to the surrender of a what did people say about the idea of q how was the term w used at the time what was the context in which they made these statements are there patterns geography chronology nationality winning losing side relationship to a to these responses how do the answers of the above questions fit into my argument collect these slips of paper at the desk and start doing some searches in dtpo for the answers first skim through documents on the topic i ve already identified dtpo topical groups then search for relevant people and documents that i ve already identified person involved with event specific source that covers the period place maybe do a proximity search of some basic terms then skim through documents around the date of the event in question e g search all the documents c 1708 12 07 for commentary on the capitulation of lille damn i found something else interesting i have to include interpret my findings possibly requiring more thinking on paper add my findings data conclusions into the draft in scrivener still working on a better system i compose drafts on the computer but am still old school enough that i think better on paper there is no substitute for the portability persistence and spreadability of paper just make sure they re centralized and ephemeral as well can you tell i m teaching a research seminar and historical research and writing in a few weeks january 4 2016 in professional 7 comments what rhymes with ottawa preliminary program for the smh 2016 conference in ottawa is up here there aren t that many ememh panels but there s at least one of note there are also as usual several panels on 17c 18c america a few on native americans and other indigenes a sprinkling of ancients and a few on environment topography none on medieval or napoleonic this year i ll assume the smh often competes with the woodstock party that is kalamazoo so i m thinking we should try to organize some informal ememh get together sometime during the conference could be drinks lunch or even dinner let us know in the comments if anyone is game and we can try to figure something out
