1060 Papers 1 and 2

1060 Papers 1 and 2 and 3

RULES:

• You may have several shapes in one paragraph
• One shape may take up several paragraphs
• Each shape must have a clear arrow between it and its preceding/following shapes
• Generally applications bridge collations and so whats, though it is possible that two collations join together to one application, or a so what leads to another so what, which leads back to an encounter
• Summaries and details from secondary sources are collations for your purposes
• When in doubt, a "so what" is the glue between shapes
• A n arrow may connect by returning to the encounter or a central so what and then going back to a data collation
• The path will begin and end with the encounter

Collating to Get to a So What

Your overarching analytical question for this paper is: Who is the audience [ie what communities responding to what contexts] for your satire? How does the satire address these communities? What are the various opinions about these contexts and how does the satire address them? What disagreements might circulate around these contexts and how does the satire address them?

2. Choose a satire. There is a sheet under “handouts” with some suggested satires. You may go off this list, but you want to make sure the satire is rich in details and has some contexts you can identify and research: I encourage checking with me!

3. Data dump like crazy. Watch and dump at least 3-4 times. At this point you are trying to gather information and do some informal collations that suggest what this satire focuses on.

4. Summarize the satire, focusing on the main collations it presents and the detail clumps that support those patterns. You will want to offer a brief summary toward the beginning of your final paper, so your reader knows what you are talking about, but more importantly, this will help you identify the major issues/concerns of the satire so you can start researching contexts.

5. Do some research to find 5 useful articles about at least 2 different contexts (see requirements above) within which the satire was working.

6. Write a summary of the concerns/issues/disagreements/focii of each context so you understand it and your reader has a clear understanding. Be sure to use attributive tags so the reader knows who said what and how they agree/diverge. These will go in the paper to set up your analysis.

7. Choose a particular claim/idea/issue from one context that seems to connect in either an AND or BUT with some of the details you noted in step 3. Use the collation worksheet to collate and get to a strong “X”.

8. Use the application process to use the “X” you developed in step 7 to further answer your overarching analytical question.

Your overarching analytical question for this paper is: Who is the audience [ie what communities responding to what contexts] for your satire? How does the satire address these communities? What are the various opinions about these contexts and how does the satire address them? What disagreements might circulate around these contexts and how does the satire address them?

working together for one specific social cause leading to more actions for both that movement and other issue

Summary: Context

Type 1: No Claim

Problem: there is nothing at stake, no issue to be resolved; the thesis leads to listing rather than analysis

"Ghostbusters is a movie that has a lot of phallic details"

Solution: turn to specific details and ask “why” or “how”

"Why does Ghostbusters employ so many phallic images?" (the answer to this would be your thesis/so what"): "By focusing on phallic images, Ghostbusters changes our understanding of the film by suggesting it is primarily concerned with how men can reassert power in a world with increasing female power."

Type 2: Obviously True Claim

Problem: the statement does not require proof, so there’s no point in writing about it

"The men in Ghostbusters band together to defeat the demon"

Solution: Turn your statement into a question and make an assertion that readers might disagree with

"How do the men defeat the demon?" "The men use displays of heterosexual power to defeat the demon which changes our understanding of male sexuality by connecting it to power over women "

Type 3: Conventional Wisdom

Problem: because almost everyone agrees with the statement, there is no room for analysis or development

"Ghostbusters show that people are not comfortable with women gaining power"

Solution: look to complicate the subject by taking multiple points of view

"The pattern of anti-female images in Ghostbusters changes our analysis of the order in which male fears about female power surface by suggesting that when women gain power men primarily fear the loss of male camaraderie."

Type 4: Personal Conviction

Problem: like conventional wisdom, these statements tend to be reaction rather than analysis; they prevent exploration of an idea

"I think it's great that women got more respect during the time period in which Ghostbusters was filmed"

Solution: try to replace opinions with ideas, which question and complicate claims rather than repeating them

Are women being shown as having actual power here? "The fact that the demon can only exercise power through proxies such as the dogs and the stay puft marshmallow man changes our analysis of feminism in this film by suggesting that women can only have power through manipulating men."

Type 5: Overly Broad

Problem: the thesis avoids complexity and could be said about almost any topic. Watch out for phrases such as “advantages and disadvantages” or “pros and cons”

Solution: Rephrase your ideas by replacing broad nouns with specific ones, weak verbs with strong ones and vague adjectives with specific ones. If you are talking about two ideas or sides, try to subordinate them: does one (newly specified) idea outweigh the other?

What kind of power do women have? "The pattern of yonic symbols changes our analysis of female power by insisting that women still, ultimately, can be reduced to their sexual and reproductive functions"

What are pros and cons? which ends up having more power? why?

In "To No-One More Indebted: Frederick Douglass and Julia Griffiths," Frederick E Fee Jr. examines Griffiths' fundraising means and outcomes on behalf of Douglass to argue that it helps us understand both the need for an international community in supporting journalism and the ways such movements can create the grounds for future movements. Fee notes that Douglass believed that a paper " enkindl[ed]... hope of a future and develop[ed]... moral force, [and] prove[d] a most powerful means of removing prejudice and awakening interest" to demonstrate Douglass's emphasis on journalism as a means of self-determination, changing our analysis of his desire to run a newspaper by focusing on how he saw it as a means to both inspire African-Americans and change the minds of White readers (16). Fee notes that the contrast between the American investors who wanted Douglass to focus on personal speeches and outreach, and Griffith's emphasis on the international community and the need for a paper that could communicate to them all changes our analysis of the reasoning of the goals of the paper by suggesting that it was successful as an international effort that kept abolitionist ideas central. Noting the outcome of "broad and unintended" implications of Griffiths' work in terms of strengthening "the sense of community among women" in terms of both creating a forum for women to discuss issues and emphasizing their value to the movement (20), Fee changes the analysis of the implications of a concerted effort to fund the newspaper by suggesting the long term effect it had on other social movement. Ultimately, Fee seeks to reassess the effects of working on one social movement on other social movements.

Noticing that working together for one specific social cause leads to more actions for both that movement and other issue changes our analysis of how @frederickdouglass is addressing the community of activists by focusing on the long term change to general civil rights that will come from disregarding specific groups.
