Different Forms of Black Sexuality Over Time

September 2, 2020 Leave a comment English and Literature, MLA

Choose at least two texts (essays from different weeks/time periods) and one film (from any time period), make a 4-6 page argument about how forms transcends phases and how African American culture and sexuality are represented in these texts (essays/stories) & film. What arguments do the authors/filmmakers make about sexuality?  How do they represent these arguments? What strategies are most effective (literary or rhetorical techniques, visual representation)?  If applicable, do you find continuity in representation across periods?  Are there gaps or missing threads (and if so, is there in evidence toward why)?  

Make sure it has a TITLE.

You do not have to cover the entire ground of the topic just make sure the texts/film support the topic (its okay to leave the argument to be continued if extending beyond 6 pages)

Learning objectives:
The purpose of this writing assignment is to synthesize and apply information in a compact, precise form.

Submission:
S1) This assignment is due online, see listed due date in weekly content.
S2) This assignment should be 4-5 pages double-spaced max. Our focus is structure and precision. With a longer assignment we can expand conditions. But this is not our purpose for these analytical summaries.

Assignment:
Choose just one of these topics:

1) To what extent does our privacy change as a function of our digital selves? Explain your answer by using concepts from Tavini.

Your conditions:

A1) Have you captured the proper concepts from each author?
A2) Have you used relevant original examples to illustrate either your exposition OR your counter argument?
A3) Have you prepared the reader to understand both parts of your discussion on the assumption that the reader has not mastered technical concepts?
A4) Have you created a thorough argument that unifies all of your smaller claims?
Have you presented a cohesive total discussion?
A5) Does each paragraph have a descriptive function in your overall argument? And, is this function evident from the structure that you have set up?
A6) Is your summary sufficiently different from other summaries? As expected, all of the summaries will converge on certain intrinsic properties. But remember, we are concerned with process. I want to see how you get there.
A7) Always cite your work.

Close Reading: Modernity and Witchcraft in West Africa

September 2, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Humanities

In brief:

REPORT: Students undertake close reading of two anthropological texts on witchcraft in a particular part of the world (as assigned/agreed upon in class), then produce a 1500 word reporting showcasing a close and critical analysis (and comparison) of these texts.

Details:

Your report should show a very close engagement with the two texts: Understanding of each, but more importantly comparison and connection between them. It should evaluate them at a more ‘meta’ level as academic sources and also situated cultural artifacts (i.e. what are the epistemological underpinnings of each? What paradigms does the author apply?) and also contextualize them as part of the broader body of academic work about witchcraft; What does the idea of witchcraft represent emic-ly in the location you studied? What contribution have studies of this area made to etic/anthropological understandings of the social construction of evil?

Personal Notes: For outline, I was thinking the sections could be;

1. Introduction
2. Summary of both articles
3. Contextual Background (The how, where, when, why the authors are writing the articles),
4. Focus and Epistemological Underpinnings of the Article (discussing what angle/focus the author has, how they gathered their data, and they analysed the data)
5. Analysis section( critiques if their data gathering and analyzing process is effective for their topic, as well as highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the articles in relation to anthropological goals for the study of religion, society, evil)
6. Conclusion (could make a creative link between the two sources and the overall themes, and synthesize these meanings to integrate them into a wider theoretical question on the topic of anthropology)

Social Media in American Politics

September 2, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Political science

In Times New Roman 12 pt. font with 1-inch margins, write a cogent analytical paper on your chosen topic. Any journals cited must be peer-reviewed, academic or scholarly publications. Be careful searching the library electronically to ensure that you filter out non-academic periodicals, such as Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Slate or the National Review. The latter are rarely used in substantive academic work except when a principal gives an interview.  (In that case, the periodical offers the principals stated perspective on the issue at hand.)

You may find it necessary to cite government reports such as Congressional Research Service Reports or other official sources (bills, hearings, or the Congressional record) available through the Government Publishing Office (www.govinfo.gov), the Library of Congress (www.Congress.gov) or the U.S. Supreme Court.
Also please consider using non-partisan sources such as www.pewresearch.org for a non-partisan look at opinions on social media.
