Master 2 Thesis

In-Development

Description

This repository contains most files used to prepare my Master’s thesis.

This is a work in progress!

Subject-matter

Files that I have authored are all released under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License or any later version.

These files are distributed in the hope that they will be useful, but without any warranty; without even the implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. See the GNU General Public License for more details.

File Structure

I have organized all work (planing, research, and writing) in these files:

`README.org`

This is the file you are reading now; it describes the contents of my Master’s thesis git repository.

`todo.org`

This file (not included in the repository) is a collection of task lists used for planning and scheduling.

`master.org`

This file (not included in the repository) contains my research notes.

Most entries are produced automatically with John Kitchin’s Emacs package org-ref and a bibliography file, master.bib, maintained with Mendeley.

For details, please look at my Emacs’ configuration. And, excuse me for the chaos therein.

`memoire.org`

This file is the final version of my Master’s thesis; it is the source code that produces the pdf.

I only used this file to prepare what would be the final version of the thesis. For all other notes, l used the memoire_draft.org.

Since I use git for version control, I could dispense with the list of files titled draft 1, draft 2, ad nauseam. Instead, I tagged certain commits as “drafts”.

`memoire_draft.org`

This file contains most of the preparatory notes. So, it is not an actual draft, but a collection of intermediary writings before the preparation of the first draft of the thesis.

`notes.org`

This file is a collection of all my research notes; it is organized by day and by week.

`log.org`

This file is a “travel log” to track the development of the thesis.

I was inspired to create this file by a chapter of Bernard Lahire’s Tableaux de famille: Heurs et malheurs scolaires en milieux populaires that discussed the importance of writing as a reflexive activity. I believe it is important to constantly write down one’s thoughts to imbue the text—that ineffable entity—with personality. Writing without personality (i.e., most writing) is not worth reading. And, writing that is not worth reading is absolutely demoralizing.

Tools

Text Editor

I used Emacs’ Org mode to plan, draft, and write the thesis. If the source code interests you, visit the org files.

Using the org exporter, I exported the org files into LaTeX, and then into pdfs.

Bibliography Management

I used Mendeley to maintain a bibliography file called master.bib.

Typography

I used LaTeX’s KOMA Script class scrbook.

Fonts

I only used non-proprietary fonts: The main font is Linux Libertine, alongside Linux Biolinum and Liberation Mono.

Progress Timetable

I keep this table to prevent falling behind deadlines. The estimations are taken from Beaud’s L’art de la these; they are good enough for the French system, in which a M2 Master’s thesis should be prepared in one year.
