I usually tell my students that “close reading” means looking at what is actually on the page, reading the text itself, rather than some idea “behind the text.” It means noticing things in the writing, things in the writing that stand out. To give you some idea of what this means, I’ve made up a list of five sorts of things that a close reading might typically notice: (1) unusual vocabulary, words that surprise either because they are unfamiliar or because they seem to belong to a different context; (2) words that seem unnecessarily repeated, as if the word keeps insisting on being written; (3) images or metaphors, especially ones that are used repeatedly and are somewhat surprising given the context; (4) what is in italics or parentheses; and (5) footnotes that seem too long. This list is far from complete—in fact, no complete list is possible—but the list is meant to begin to give you an idea of what sorts of things we notice when we’re doing close reading.
What all five of my examples have in common is that they are minor elements in the text; they are not main ideas. In fact, your usual practice of reading which focuses on main ideas would dismiss them all as marginal or trivial. Another thing they have in common is that, although they are minor, they are nonetheless conspicuous, eye-catching: they are either surprising or repeated, set off from the text or too long. Close reading pays attention to elements in the text which, although marginal, are nonetheless emphatic, prominent—elements in the text which ought to be quietly subordinate to the main idea, but which textually call attention to themselves.
Most of you have been educated to ignore such elements. You have been taught to seek out and identify the main ideas, dismissing the trivial as you go. This has had to be trained into you: read to a young child sometime, you will notice she has the annoying habit of interrupting the flow of the story to draw attention to some minor thing. Close reading resembles the interruptions of that child. It is a method of undoing the training that keeps us to the straight and narrow path of main ideas. It is a way of learning not to disregard those features of the text that attract our attention, but are not principal ideas.

as a regular donor to Gaza Soup Kitchen I get their email updates, and they said today that while they've continued to be able to expand, donations are slowing down as Gaza gets less coverage. If you have a few dollars to spare, I encourage you to send them here to continue the amazing work that Hani and his team are doing.

Stage Play "Genshiki: Aruiwa, Hora" / 言式「或いは、ほら」 English Subtitles
Long time no hear! I have indeed been working on the sequel to Kainashi, Aruiwa, Hora! Once again I'm not sure how to advertise or explain any of this to not ruin potential first-time experiences, but I will say that both stages are easily accessible on the unlimited monthly subscription on TCT, so please do check them out if you feel so inclined! They might just change your life!

Genshiki: Aruiwa, Hora" / 言式「或いは、ほら」 English Subtitles
These soft subtitles were timed to the stream version. The stage play is currently included in the monthly subscription plan on Theater Complex Town, together with its prequel, Kainashi!
Please read!
All translations are done by me without using MTL. Editor credits, if applicable, are included. Do not edit these subtitles beyond minor retiming for personal use and especially do not remove credits.
I provide subtitle files only and encourage supporting the original productions by purchasing the video through official means (you can ask me for pointers on how to do that).
DO NOT make hardsubbed videos using my subtitles and especially do not upload any clips, gifs, screenshots etc to any public streaming websites, social media and the like. If I notice this happening I will take the files down forever. Please, we have a hard enough time getting to see these stages as it is. Let's be sensible.
If you would like to buy me a coffee for the efforts, I would never say no to that ;)
