1xbet online casino Description and Objectives:
In this course, we will explore how visual and textual images
shape our beliefs and values about sex, gender, and sexuality. As
we analyze and discuss images of women, we will be necessity
address images of men as well. We begin the semester by studying
that part of American culture most readily at hand: the images of
femaleness and femininity presented in advertisements, popular
music, television, and film. Next, stepping back for an historical
perspective, we investigate how we have acquired our
late-twentieth century ideas and ideals. Finally, we will consider
how race, ethnicity, 1xbet online casino , and sexual orientation further revise
our definitions and understanding of the social roles available to
women and men in American culture.
Requirements and General Expectations:
1xbet online casino : You are expected to
complete each reading assignment before coming to class. You are
further expected to think carefully about what you read and to
make notes in 1xbet online casino book prior to each class meeting. Bring the
appropriate book or articles to class each day and additionally
mark passages that we discuss; this process will help you
understand, remember, and review.
1xbet online casino Participation and
Attendance: Although this is a large class, you will be asked
to participate regularly in class discussions and in collaborative
learning groups. 1xbet online casino attendance is therefore important. You will
not be penalized for 1xbet online casino first three absences; thereafter, 1xbet online casino
class participation grade will drop one grade increment (i.e., B
to B-) for each day missed. Excessive unexcused absences (five or
more) will adversely affect 1xbet online casino final course grade. I appreciate
1xbet online casino offering explanations for absences; however, the only way to
excuse an absence is to provide me with an official letter from
1xbet online casino dean.
Quizzes: I reserve the right to administer reading
quizzes as necessary. Grades from reading quizzes will be part of
1xbet online casino class participation grade; should you be absent on the day of
a quiz, you will receive a zero, unless the absence is
excused.
Papers: 1xbet online casino will write
two short papers. The papers are due at the time the class meets.
Late papers will be penalized one full grade (i.e., B to C) for
each day late. More information about papers 1xbet online casino
and two follows the syllabus.
Daedalus Sessions in Garland Lab: Our 1xbet online casino is a pilot
course for the use of the Daedalus Integrated Writing Environment
software in Women's Studies at Vanderbilt. Some of our classes
will meet in the Garland Computer Lab. Because the lab cannot
accommodate a 1xbet online casino of our size, we will divide into discussion
sections on lab days, designated as Group A and Group B on the
syllabus. **You must come to the lab on the day assigned to
1xbet online casino section.** You may not attend the other section's lab
without obtaining my permission in advance of the lab session. On
the days when one section of the class meets in the lab, the other
section meets in our usual classroom. 1xbet online casino preparation for and
participation in Daedalus sessions should follow the guidelines
noted above for "Reading" and "1xbet online casino
Participation and Attendance."
Daedalus Electronic 1xbet online casino : Beginning the
second week of class, I'll establish a conference each week in
which you can post comments about the materials we're studying in
class. Each student is required to make at least one comment each
week. I will monitor these discussions and assess a grade (at the
end of the semester) based on the thoughtfulness of 1xbet online casino comments,
their ability to foster discussion among 1xbet online casino classmates, and
their responsiveness both to our readings and to 1xbet online casino classmates'
comments in class and on the bulletin board. 1xbet online casino postings do not
need to be long; however, they need to be substantive: they must
be long enough to convey clearly the problem you are taking up and
1xbet online casino point of view, connecting 1xbet online casino comment to others' comments,
as appropriate. I will offer models of helpful comments early in
the semester. Directions for posting can be found here.
Examinations: 1xbet online casino will have a midterm and a final exam
for the course.
Night Screenings of Movies: I will schedule screenings
of the three films we will discuss. You are required to see each
film before our discussion. If you cannot attend the scheduled
screenings, please notify me; you must then arrange to see the
film on 1xbet online casino own by the time of its discussion in class.
1xbet online casino : There are no mandatory conferences for
this course. I encourage 1xbet online casino , however, to stop by during office
hours, particularly before an assignment is due. Please also
consider stopping by during the first few weeks of class for a
brief (and very informal) conference. If 1xbet online casino have any specific
questions or concerns about the course or the readings, bring them
with 1xbet online casino , but no agenda is necessary: this is simply a way to get
to know each other. Please see me to make an appointment if my
office hours are not convenient for 1xbet online casino .
Teaching Assistant: This class is fortunate to have
Laura Patterson as its teaching assistant. She and I will be
sharing the grading of 1xbet online casino papers, quizzes, and exams. If you
feel there is a problem with a grade which Ms. Patterson assigns,
see her first. If the two of you cannot solve the problem, I will
be happy to meet with the two of you together. If you feel there
is a problem with a grade that I assign, come directly to me
rather than seeing Ms. Patterson.

Guidelines
for Papers
General Instructions
Papers should follow the general rules of composition and be
typed or word-processed with standard double-spacing, 1-inch
margins, and either 10- or 12-point typeface. Title pages and
covers are unnecessary. Pages should be numbered, stapled
together, and spell-checked. Because this is not an English 1xbet online casino ,
errors in grammar and punctuation will be marked but will not be
factors in the grading of the paper unless the mistakes are
so numerous or egregious as to distract from the argument. Papers
are due at the time the 1xbet online casino meets; late papers will be penalized
one grade (i.e., B to C) for each day late.
Paper #1
1xbet online casino first paper is a personal essay (3-5 pp.) in which you
reflect upon what it means to you to be female or male, or
feminine or masculine, in the culture in which you live. The
purpose of this assignment is to encourage you to think
analytically about how sex and gender make differences in the ways
we relate to school, work, goals, family, friendships, intimate
relationships, and/or life choices.
One approach to this assignment is to think about the first
time you realized that sex or gender was, in some way,
significant. How did this realization occur? What was 1xbet online casino
reaction? How has this realization affected 1xbet online casino thinking? Another
approach is to consider how 1xbet online casino life decisions so far have been
related to social constructions of sex or gender. Whatever
approach you choose, be creative, but be honest. While this essay
may be informal and anecdotal, it must be grounded in
1xbet online casino details--do not offer vague
generalizations. Wherever possible, 1xbet online casino why 1xbet online casino
have reacted and felt the way 1xbet online casino have about sex and gender, and
how 1xbet online casino attitudes have been informed by the culture
in which you live--by media, family, friends, teachers, ethnicity,
nationality, religion, race, socio-economic class, for
example.
Paper #2
1xbet online casino second paper (4-5 pp.) is an analysis of an
advertisement. The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you
to think critically about the constructions and assumptions of sex
and gender that inform advertisements. Pay attention to visual
images and text, if 1xbet online casino ad includes both, and focus on
analyzing these elements and their (intended) effect
on a viewer. Where appropriate, 1xbet online casino analysis should engage the
techniques that John Berger explains in Ways of Seeing.
1xbet online casino analysis should be specific, and 1xbet online casino ideas should be
carefully supported by evidence from the ad. Some points to
consider as you choose 1xbet online casino ad:
--1xbet online casino is implied by the ad--that is, in addition to 1xbet online casino
is shown?
--How intertexual is the ad? For example, does it make
reference to other ads, to art, to history, to popular
1xbet online casino ?
--Who is the intended audience of 1xbet online casino ad?
--What effect does the ad have on 1xbet online casino ? Do 1xbet online casino think this is
its intended effect? How does the ad produce this effect? Do
1xbet online casino have any desire to work against the ad's effect--to resist
its implications? Why or why not?
Note: Be sure to staple 1xbet online casino ad to 1xbet online casino paper, and to
note on the ad or in 1xbet online casino paper the title and date of the magazine
in which the ad appears.
