Text

An instance of critical reading is a process of analysis undertaken by a scholar to derive analytical facts from a specific information resource. Critical reading engages the background knowledge of the scholar and their interpretive horizon in order to support them in actively reading the research object to derive factual, historically contextualized/contextualizing information regarding the propositional content in question and the world(s) it pertains too. This process can take as input previous scholarly documentation or outputs of digital reading events. Critical reading may result in a series of constructed arguments, serving as a foundation for the documentation and analysis of an argument regarding the text and its referents. Critical reading might also result in the observation, documentation or assertion of a social fact, such as the assertion of an appelative or classificatory status. In the latter case, the instance of ZE18 Critical Reading serves as provenance for the existence of the fact in the network.
