In Part 1, we describe six projective-type model structures on the category of dierential graded modules over a dierential graded algebra A over a commutative ring R. When R is a eld, the six collapse to three and are well-known, at least to folklore, but in the general case the new relative and mixed model structures oer interesting alterna- tives to the model structures in common use. The construction of some of these model structures requires two new variants of the small object argument, an enriched and an algebraic one, and we describe these more generally. In Part 2, we present a variety of theoretical and calculational co- brant approximations in these model categories. The classical bar con- struction gives cobrant approximations in the relative model structure, but generally not in the usual one. In the usual model structure, there are two quite dierent ways to lift cobrant approximations from the level of homology modules over homology algebras, where they are classi- cal projective resolutions, to the level of DG-modules over DG-algebras. The new theory makes model theoretic sense of earlier explicit calcu- lations based on one of these constructions. A novel phenomenon we encounter is isomorphic cobrant approximations with dierent combi- natorial structure such that things proven in one avatar are not readily proven in the other.
