Directives for Final Papers
Your paper should be 7-10 FULL pages in length (no longer), double- spaced, 12 pt. Times New Roman font, with 1’margins. Please number your pages. Following MLA format, a separate, final page should contain your Works Cited. We request a minimum of 6 sources, 4 of which must be from peer-reviewed scholarly sources. Your paper should examine the 1950s via film, television, fine art, literature, popular culture, music, cartoons, and history. For this paper you are asked to work with and
from one of the central sets of conceptual problematics that we are grappling with in
this course to develop a substantive analysis of a specific cultural text and/or sociopolitical event. (We are referring to sexuality, race, cold war ideology, etc)
You may choose to “dig deeper” into the topic or a particular aspect of the topic that
you’ve explored more broadly in the Power Point presentation. If so, make sure that you
consult with your instructor prior to beginning to work on it. This further exploration
option needs to be approved by your instructor.
VERY IMPORTANT: This paper is not one you can produce at the last minute, so
you need to give yourself enough time to plan your focus and approach. Begin by determining a central research question in regards to your a topic which
you would like to focus your paper around. We suggest that you choose a topic that engages you somehow, that you find, for whatever sets of reasons, compelling, worth a sustained consideration, rich for analytic discussion. Once you have determined the particular topic and research question that you wish to focus on, the next step is to research commentaries upon that topic and the cultural
“texts” you’ve chosen. If you are focusing on artworks or films, or specific musicians or songs of the 50s era, look, for example, for film and video reviews, press releases, website remarks, and scholarly work on the specific “text.” The idea here is that you want to be able to generate a sense of how a particular “text” is being situated by popular discourses; that is, how it is being “read” critically. * Create an engaging title that reflects the central question(s) posed in your paper. * When writing about a film, work of art or play, write in the present tense. * Please use italics for film titles, quotation marks for paintings, plays, songs, fiction and nonfiction prose. Include the date of the release, creation or publication of the work referenced. Identify the director, author, artist of whatever work you are referencing. * Please identify artists, authors, etc. * Include a clear thesis statement within the first page of your paper. * The rest of your paper following the thesis statement will cite examples in support of your claims. Strive for clarity, organization and specificity.
