During this (short) unit, please read and study the remainder of Storey’s book, especially as you put the final version of your paper together for its due date on Wed, Nov 6<\/strong>. Notice (and trust) what Storey has to say about narration, structure, and argument and the clear flow of logical thought, as well as follow his suggestions for the mechanics of citation and to observe the conventions of historical writing.<\/p>\n

Due dates you need to remember: <\/strong><\/span>
\nMon 10\/28 CV due (emailed<\/strong> as an attachment)
\nWed 10\/30 J6<\/strong> – free choice – reflect on your writing or reading process, or on your learning to this point in the semester, or on any other relevant topic you’d like to write about
\nWed 11\/6 FINAL DRAFT is due as a PRINTED paper<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the week of Oct 28 we won’t meet as a class, but will use our regular class meeting times for writing conferences based on your skeleton drafts. In the week of Nov 4, we’ll consider two vastly different, but both ico<\/a>nic, pop culture phenomenons: on Monday – Alan Ginsberg’s poem “Howl” as an example of the 50s Beat counterculture and (on Wed) the sci-fi classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers<\/a><\/em>. Both works consider the destabilization of the self in modern society and affirm the power of the individual — one through high performance art and the other through lowbrow Hollywood mass culture.<\/p>\n

Links for Mon 11\/4<\/strong>
\nThe poem itself<\/a>
\nA 1959 recording of Ginsberg reading it<\/a>
\nbackground reading on the poem by Stephen Burt, “The Paradox of Howl<\/a>” for Slate<\/em>, 4\/19\/2006<\/p>\n

Reminder:<\/strong> Monday 11\/11 is Veteran’s Day & so there are no classes, but the Wed we come back we will discuss the first 160 pages of Doherty’s book Cold War, Cool Medium<\/em>, so make sure you start reading it at least as soon as you turn in your draft on Nov 6.<\/p>\n
