HUM 1020: Cultural Analysis First-Draft: Tuesday, November 7th via email Final Due: Thursday, November 16th via Canvas Assignment Description: Now that you’ve developed the ability to read and interpret texts, it’s time to apply those readings to wider bodies of cultural knowledge. In order to do so, you will frame your interpretation/reading of one of our class texts with a variety of secondary sources, which you will use to connect your ideas to existing research on a topic pertinent to your interpretation. To begin, pick a course work and spend some time, as before, examining it. Think about its structure, its patterns, its subject matter and particular way of inflecting a variety of topics. Come up with an idea about what you want to explore and try to come up with one or more research questions. For example, if I wanted to develop my earlier idea about Raphael’s depiction of Mary and Jesus as contemporary Italians, I might ask, “Was this practice common during the Renaissance?” or, if I wanted to frame my reading historically, I might ask, “What were Renaissance attitudes toward class?” I might ask the same questions about dress/costume, social customs, etc. From there, I would research using scholarly sources. lib.usf.edu is a good place to start. Cast your net widely and look at a variety of things. However, part of research is figuring out how to look. One skill to develop is the development of search terms which you can then run through the library’s search engines. In my project, I might search for “social class, Renaissance” or “Renaissance clothing” or even “Renaissance upper middle class.” It doesn’t cost you anything to run a search, so try lots of different angles and examine a wide variety of texts. From those, pick out a few that most directly pertain to your topic. You’re required to have at least three academic sources, as well as two popular sources, which could either be non-scholarly articles or books or, better yet, other artworks which you can use to contextualize your reading. So, again, to use the example above, I might look at a variety of Renaissance images of Mary to see if others paint her in such regal garb. I can then connect my observations on The Bridgewater Madonna to wider trends in Renaissance painting. With your research in hand, think about how your interpretation of the artwork sits with your research. Does your interpretation agree with those you see in other texts? Are there are any aspects of your take that would be helped by being contextualized by one of your sources? One way to think about your research is that it provides a context for your interpretations to react to and weigh in on. So perhaps you can think of your secondary sources as a unified body of ways of looking at your artwork, which you will then compare to your own takes on the text. In the best cases, you will actually use your interpretations of the text to comment upon or develop these existing ideas you encounter in your secondary sources. Assignment Guidelines Your paper must be at least 1,000 words, not including your name, date, paper title, etc. You must cite at least three scholarly sources in your paper, as well as at least two non-scholarly sources (these should be reliable, legit publications, not Joe’s Movie Blog or something of that ilk). You’ll be assessed large penalties if the sources are unreliable or if you don’t meet the minimum number of sources. Your paper should be formatted in MLA style, from the first-page elements to the works cited page. Here is an example of how MLA style is supposed to look. Papers should be well-written, and revised and polished before submission. It’s worth noting here that even a first-draft benefits from a once-over, even if that only amounts to a single read-through that helps catch formatting and usage errors. Please consult the class revision tips as well. In the end, your paper should clearly and confidently argue your central point, using a clear structure and specific details to connect your interpretation to a wider field of cultural inquiry. Rubric: 1) Argument 30% This score covers both the paper’s central thesis as well as the argumentative organization. With the thesis, what we’re looking for is a clear statement of the general idea. This thesis should come somewhere in the introduction and introduce the general point you’re getting across in the paper. The general point itself needs a compelling and essential idea about how the work relates to some issue of larger cultural relevance (approaches here might be philosophical, political, historical, aesthetic, etc.). Remember that the best arguments about artworks show us something unexpected or original about the works, so creativity and ingenuity are assessment criteria in addition to coherency and clarity. Subsequent paragraphs should then be organized around proving the thesis, with clear support from well-organized paragraphs. The entire argument should read as a coherent whole, and the reader shouldn’t be confused at any point about how an individual paragraph relates to the larger argument. 2) Analysis 30% This score concerns the quality, complexity, creativity, and clarity of your formal analysis, as well as the use of secondary sources in relation to your analyses. The key with formal analysis is to have a clear idea derived from the specific details of the text. A good formal analysis has a clear idea, but one that is threaded through the artist’s way of presenting things. In this kind of argument, the specific choices build out to larger ideas. Body paragraphs should engage directly with specific details from the text/image, exploring them creatively to offer up new ways of considering the artwork. The way to connect secondary sources to these readings is to think carefully about how to move between ideas, how to integrate others’ ideas into your own. It’s important to avoid simply summarizing the secondary sources. Instead, point your use of them toward your purposes, your argument. 3) Presentation 20% This score covers the prose’s quality, formatting, and the presentation of your paper. Because all writers enter the course with different writing backgrounds, it’s impossible to offer clear and hard-fast rules regarding the quality of prose. Do, however, check the revision tips list. This score is lowered with each infraction of those issues on the list, so please do due diligence and revise your prose according to those comments. My basic strategy regarding prose quality is to set goals on the first paper and then to grade on whether the second paper meets the goals identified in the first. As noted above, papers should be formatted in MLA style. This covers the formatting of name, course information, date, paper title, page numbers, etc. 4) Research 20% This score concerns the quality of your sources, their integration in the paper, and the accuracy of your citations. As stated above, you need at least three scholarly sources and at least two non-scholarly sources. Additionally, you need to think about how to integrate quotations and paraphrases from those sources into the body of your paper. Finally, make sure you’re using the right citation style. Don’t use auto-generators, as they make a plethora of mistakes that will cost you points!

The Concept of New Womanhood and its Effects on Modern Society
Political ideologies have affected women’s participation in society and even changed
gender roles to an extent. The culture of women’s involvement in various societal spheres has
increased over time, and these changes can be attributed to the change in perceptions, new
ideologies and an increase in the equality of men and women. Feminism, for example, is a
movement; both social and political that has led to the changes in perception of women and their
palace in society. The idea behind the movement is to present equal rights economically, socially
and politically to women all over the world. Previously, women had few rights regarding rights
to property, working outside the home, suffrage, and education among others. Societal changes,
however, can be mainly attributed to the 19th-century ideology of new womanhood. The
discussion of this paper will be aimed at examining the effects of the concept in the 19th century
and how it continues to affect modern society. Centrally, the change of gender roles based on the
concept will be explored. New womanhood was the primary reason for most of...
