Compare and contrast two movies
Compare and contrast two movies. They could be two different movies, like Unforgiven and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Or two movies from the
same series, like Batman, the one with Michael Keaton and the one with Christian Bale. You could further refine this by focusing on just the actors individually
as opposed to the movies as a whole.

Reconnecting with nature: materiality and representation in film and sculpture. Rewriting the canon: narratives of marginalization in modern sculpture and film.
The first step of any research is: identify your topic.
Read extensively about your topic, trying to understand the position of different scholars in that specific discourse, as well as the main aspects discussed. Your paper should cite at least 7 sources (primary and secondary) which will show the depth of your research.
Take notes while you view the primary and secondary sources included in your bibliography. to describe the status of previous scholarship on your topic.
Develop your own thesis. Considered the position of other writers, what is your own position? Do you agree/disagree with the interpretation of some of them? Can you contribute to a certain discussion by adding arguments that could reinforce another scholars’ perspective? Or, on the contrary, do you disagree with a scholar’s theory? What aspects have been underestimated by existing discourses?
Once you have developed your thesis, you must put it to the test. Take a distance and ask yourself: WHY is your thesis convincing and HOW does your argument work?
The answers to the questions at 5. will constitute your points of proof: the points on which you will base your essay. In the answers to the questions at n.5, bring as much evidence as possible. Ground your points in written and visual sources, bringing examples and discussing primary and secondary materials.
Imagine counter-arguments. How could your readers react to your essay? In what could they disagree with you? Discuss the counter-points. (when you organize your essay, you might insert the discussion of the counterpoints before the discussion of your own point, so you will conclude with a positive statement. That should reinforce your thesis).
Do not generalize. Do not use judgmental words. Try to use appropriate vocabulary. Please, use the Chicago Manual of Style for your Citations.

Global Extraction Film Festival – Stare Into the Lights My Pretties
Another entry in the Global Extraction Film Festival is a fascinating documentary on “screen culture” which examines how computers have come to increasingly impact all aspects of our lives — including the development of our own brains. Written and directed by Jordan Brown, Stare Into the Lights My Pretties (2017) is a wide-ranging look at this relatively recent and seemingly all-encompassing technological phenomenon. After watching the film, please address the following questions in a 300-400 word (or longer) essay:
1. According to Professor Lelila Green, what are the ABCs that characterize technological development since the turn of the twentieth century?
2. How does the neuroscientist Susan Greenfield distinguish information from knowledge? What is her definition of knowledge?
3. According to Eli Pariser, what is a “filter bubble” and why does he think it is a negative development?
4. The film spends a great deal of time examining the rise of “surveillance culture.” How comfortable are you with the degree of surveillance that is currently taking place in our society? Taking a long view, do you think increasing surveillance is positive or negative development for society? Why or why not?

Film Analysis
The text book is “Give me liberty! An American
History” -Eric Foner
1. Choose at least one of the following films / television programs to watch in its entirety (the whole thing):
The Vote (PBS 2-Part Film)
On the Basis of Sex
Dolores
Iron Jawed Angels
Chisholm 72
RBG (2018)
2. Read the relevant chapter or chapters in the Foner textbook that cover the subject / time period in the film
you have chosen.
While you are reading take notice of how many examples given are of men and how many are of women.
When women are mentioned, are they mentioned by name? How many details are given?
3. Compare how the subject is covered in the film and textbook.
The text book is “Give me liberty! An American History” -Eric Foner
4. Review the additional material on the same subject that is included in the course packs and class
assignments. You may also want to do your own research on the subject you have chosen.
As you research the individual sub-topics that are included think about these questions: Who are the women
that are mentioned in the textbook chapter? What more can you find out about them? What sections of the
chapter do not mention any women? Who are the women who are being ignored? For example, in chapter 17
Foner describes the Anti-Imperialist League and gives a list of prominent members – all men. This description
gives the impression that the league was an all-male organization, but the league included many women,
including a women’s auxiliary.
5. Write a critical essay analyzing how the topic is portrayed in the textbook (good, bad, indifferent, etc.)
Identify strengths, and make suggestions for improvement – things to add, things to subtract, things to
rephrase, etc. Rewrite relevant sections of the textbook as needed.
Describe what examples you would replace or simply add new examples to various sections of the chapter
highlighting the contributions of women.
Whiplash
How does the ending of Whiplash read back on the rest of the movie? In other words, in what ways does that final scene (in which Andrew Neyman performs the song Caravan solo, with Terence Fletcher leading) encourage us to revisit earlier scenes in the movie. You might do a comparison, for example, between that final scene and an earlier interaction between Neyman and Fletcher. Or you might focus on the connections between that scene and an interaction between Neyman and his girlfriend. For this assignment, just make sure you are close reading the ending alongside an earlier moment in the film, to think through their connections? (2) What does Whiplash demonstrate about “tunnel vision”? As we have covered in this past week, tunnel vision is the experience of staring at something long enough that everything else falls away as unimportant. How does the movie represent this experience, by using Andrew Neyman, Terence Fletcher, or Sean Casey (the former student of Fletcher’s who killed himself)?
