Dear all,
Below are the structure and instructions of Assignment 3:
Assignment 3 – in 800 words, reveal what has emerged from your four interviews. Focus on four main themes. This will be a methodological report. The assignment will be graded on three rubrics: Coherence (30%), ethnographic appropriateness (50%), grammar, spelling, and length (20%).
Worth 20% of your final grade
MON Oct 28, 8 AM
Meant to test your ability to appraise the cultural and social diversity of Europe
For now, you need to focus on what sorts of questions you will ask in your interviews. You need to interview four people, ideally face to face, and ask each person eight questions. Send me your questions for feedback asap (ideally before this upcoming Tuesday). When you submit the paper, submit the questions and each person’s answers too (anonymized). It is up to you who you interview (maybe you want to know how much consumers know about the industry or product you are researching, maybe you want to know how much employees know, maybe you are interested in the beliefs of higher management). Either way, your research questions should relate to your topic this semester, so they need to reflect the fact that you are thinking about: (1) the actual origin of the product/practice/industry and (2) whether or not the people you’re interviewing are aware of, and sharing your ethical concerns about this product/practice/industry, and its history.
The 800 words of the paper will be structured into eight 100 word paragraphs, as follows:
Introduction: Reason for studying this topic, and very briefly, what the interviews reveal (a short summary of the rest of the paper)
Literature: What literature are you using and how it links to your findings. Make sure you use two authors from our readings
Findings: Expand on the themes revealed in the interview – tell your reader what four themes came up in your conversations – it can either be one theme per interview or four generic themes that come up from all the interviews
Theme 1: Talk about the theme and expand on it
Theme 2: Talk about the theme and expand on it
Theme 3: Talk about the theme and expand on it
Theme 4: Talk about the theme and expand on it
Conclusions: What can we learn from the interviews you conducted?
Please attach your interview questions and answers for each of the interviewees at the end of the paper.
The literature review in particular is going to be important. You have to use concepts/ideas/arguments from two articles we read so far (it can also be any of the articles we worked through in class, as long as you paraphrase them accordingly). This paragraph is supposed to give you the theoretical lens for your article: for example, we didn’t know there is a racial logic, that has been developing for over 100 years, in the ways western Europeans interact with other people until we talked about it in class, so if this is an idea you use to think about your topic, you should give credit to the author of the idea, as it is not yours. The fact that you use two articles we discussed in class does not mean you do not have to reference authors of all other ideas that are not your own. Plagiarism is something we criticize heavily in this class, through everything we discuss, so giving credit to the people who deserve it needs to be at the core of our concerns!

Discuss the conditions of life in American cities in the early and mid-1800s. What were the advantages and disadvantages of city life?
Please use example from the book: A People and a Nation: A History of the United States

As we know, history is alive through the connection between historical events and contemporary events that allow us to recognize, reflect, and apply the opportunities or challenges that arise. The varying culture and characteristics of the many native, migrated, or settlement people that eventually called the United States home also influenced how American civilization evolved and rose to meet challenges.
For this journal, you will discuss the historically influenced evolution of American civilization. Identify and briefly describe each prompt below. Also, give an example of a significant historical event that directly affected each.
A specific pre-Columbian culture: Include its distinctive tribal attributes.
A specific colonial era settlement: Include their distinct regional characteristics.
A specific early state or city settlement: Include the impact of foreign and local governments on civilian morale over time.
A specific Civil War era state or city: Include the influence of political parties on its society, government, and cultural evolution.
Then, for each group, in light of these events and what you know about each society, discuss what we, as a society, have learned or taken from each of these historical societies that can be clearly seen in our current world.
Finally, include one example of how new technology changed the evolution of gender and social roles within one of your identified societies, and how the impact of that change is still seen today.

This assignment will give you the opportunity to describe one of the most significant events in our modern history the French Revolution. You will initially describe the reasons for the French Revolution, the course of the Revolution, and the changes that came about with the Revolution. There will be no discussion connected with this assignment which itself will be worth eight points. The goal of this assignment will be for you to much better understand the French Revolution and its effect on our modern history.

After watching The War of the World – Killing Space, answer the following:
The Nazis described World War II as the “great racial war.” Hitler wanted to create the pure German society (Volksgemeinshaft) and conquer lands for future living space (Lebensraum) of the “master race.” What was the Nazi racial vision of their empire and what did they try to do to make it a reality? Did the Japanese have a similar racial ideology and if so, was World War II truly the “great racial war”? Be specific in your response.
Use only these sources:

Essay Writing: Write an essay, answering one of the following questions in at least 300 words, structured with an introduction (including a thesis statement), body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
Question 1: Consider the representation of the city in Peace Reigns along the River (fig. 8–7) in light of what we know about the design of the ideal Chinese city.
Question 2: Exposure to foreign ideas in the Six Dynasties and Tang eras led to an expansion of Chinese culture. Did the advent of Mongol rule create a similar phenomenon in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century China? Why or why not?
Question 3: The original version of Night Revels of Han Xizai dates to the tenth century. Look carefully at the details of material culture depicted in the first scene of the copy (fig. 8–2), such as the clothing, the wine vessels, and the paintings on display. Do they resemble things depicted in examples of eleventh- and twelfth-century Chinese art? If so, how can that be explained?

Exhibition Review Paper
Background
For this assignment you must attend a special exhibition at a local area museum and write a review of that exhibit. Exhibitions/exhibits are not works of art that are part of the museum’s permanent collection. Instead, they are a specifically collected and curated group of paintings or other objects that are in a special gallery space in the museum for a limited run. We are lucky to have so many great museums here in Los Angeles which means that it is possible to go and view premodern art objects without having to travel very far.
I would like you to choose one of the two exhibits to visit
Mapping the Infinite: Cosmologies Across Cultures – open October 20, 2024 to March 2, 2025 – https://www.lacma.org/art/exhibition/mapping-infinite-cosmologies-across-cultures Links to an external site.*LACMA is the Los Angeles County Art Museum. The cost is $24 for students residing outside of LA county, $19 for students in LA county, and FREE to anyone in LA county after 3pm Mondays-Fridays. There is an additional cost if you use LACMA’s parking garage.
Rising Signs: The Medieval Science of Astrology – open October 1, 2024 to January 5, 2025 – https://www.getty.edu/visit/cal/events/ev_4084.html#:~:text=Exploring%20the%2012%20signs%20of,life%20in%20the%20Middle%20AgesLinks to an external site.. *The Getty Center (not to be confused with the Getty Villa) is free to everyone BUT you must pay $30 to park in their parking garage unless you take public transit or a ride share.

Directions
Exhibition reviews consist of three main elements, descriiption, analysis, and evaluation. You should describe the exhibit in a way that the reader can understand as they likely will not have seen the exhibit before reading your review. Next you need to analyze the exhibit by discussing how some select aspects of the exhibit function and what all the parts of the exhibit add up to. Finally, you must evaluate how successful the exhibition is, in your opinion. Was the exhibit done well and is it worth seeing?
Your review must include the following;
A title that engages the reader (imagine you are reading this review in a new source; what title would draw you in?)
An introduction paragraph that introduces the reader to all the relevant information about the exhibit and contains a thesis that establishes the tone and direction of the review.
A paragraph that goes into further details on the theme and scope of the exhibit.
A paragraph about the setting and layout of the exhibit in the museum space. This paragraphs should include specific references to works of art, groupings of works of art, and/or wall text in the exhibit in order to help illustrate your points.
A paragraph or two, on the strengths and/or weaknesses of the exhibit. These paragraphs should include specific references to works of art, groupings of works of art, and/or wall text in the exhibit in order to help illustrate your points.
A conclusion paragraph that summarizes the thesis that has emerged throughout your review.
Your exhibition review must be approximately 3 pages in length, double-spaced, Times New Roman font or equivalent. It must have a paragraph structure. Any use of AI listed on the syllabus is prohibited.

Additional Resources
I highly recommend that you look up the exhibition page on the museum website, read all text on the walls, take a brochure if provided, listen to any available audio programs, take notes while walking through the exhibition, and even revisit the exhibition in the revision stage of your paper if you are able.
The above assignment was adapted from Sylvan Barnet’s “Writing a Review of an Exhibition”, A Short Guide to Writing About Art. If you would like to read more in-depth instructions along with some sample exhibition reviews, please download the short reading below.
