This should be the second stage of your seminar paper project. Building a bibliography is an important part of your preperation, and it should be an ongoing part of your work. In other words, I'm asking for a bibliography now, but in the weeks between now and the final due date, you should continue adding items that you come across.

Please note: the seminar paper is a different genre than a research paper. Therefore, your writing will not comprise reporting information from the sources you collect. Instead, you are attempting to create a sustained, coherent argument that places itself in an appropriate critical or theoretical context.

To find sources, start with the reading from the class, and consult their bibliographies. Also, find articles and books in our library's holdings. In each case, pay attention to which books, articles and essays are being cited multiple times; then seek those out.

Note: an item need not be a traditional academic source, but you should include a balance. Above all, each source in your bibliography should be a substantive critical or informative piece with clear potential to add value to your work.

Method

Collect your sources using Zotero. Within Zotero, you may want to create a collection or just use tags to keep track of it all. For each item, create a "child note" with a brief comment about how you think it will contribute to your work.

To complete this portion of the assignment, please create a "child page" of your proposal on the website. (You can find your proposal again if you go to My Account -> All Content.) In zotero, select all of your entries and right click to bring up the export menu. Select "Create bibliography from selected items", MLA Style, and Copy to Clipboard. Paste into the new page you just created on the website.

Eventually, we'll share these within a Zotero group library.

This assignment is worth 50 points and is due at the beginning of class, Monday March 8.
