Due to construction this term, all office hours will be by appointment only. The usual hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday 5:30-6:20, but I could meet at other times during those days. Email: [email protected] or [email protected]. I get my gmail more often. Please make sure to identify yourself by full name, course name, and class time—i.e. "Robin Smith, English 1130, Monday night." I have about 120 students per term and don’t always have my class lists with me. Course Materials - This course file - The course pack: English 1130: Academic Writing. Buy this at the bookstore. Look for my name and the section number. - Optional text: Everyone’s An Author (Norton, 2013) CF = course file CP = course pack EAA = Everyone’s An Author There’s no assigned grammar book, since this course deals with argument, rhetoric, evaluation, and research. For those who need a refresher on grammar and basic writing, EAA Chapters 29-31 has information on grammar and sentence structure, starting with the excellent section, “Writing Good Sentences” (551-569). CF “Marking Notes and Symbols” has sample expression errors and corrections. Course Goals In general, this course aims to improve your critical thinking, your academic writing skills, and your research abilities. To think critically involves 1) looking at an idea and figuring out how and why that idea is conveyed (rhetoric), 2) figuring out whether or not the idea makes sense (evaluation) in light of 3) examining other contexts and considerations (research). Critical thinking also involves coming up with your own arguments and counter- arguments. In particular, this course aims to improve your writing, especially in the traditional academic essay format: -- The introduction takes your reader from a general state of awareness to your particular subject. -- The thesis statement tells the reader exactly what you’ll be saying about your subject; it presents your overall argument in a condensed form. 3 -- The topic sentences show your reader how each subsidiary point you are making advances your overall argument. -- The conclusion highlights your overall point, and either completes any scenario you developed in your introduction or suggests further avenues of enquiry. English 1130 also aims to improve your research abilities. Increasingly throughout the course, the quality of your research will be central to the arguments you make. In the first essay you’ll be looking at a primary source. In the second essay you’ll use a variety of primary and secondary sources. In the third essay you’ll find your own scholarly sources and use them to support your own original argument. You can document your sources in MLA or APA style. MARKS 25% Essay # 1: Rhetorical analysis 30% Essay # 2: Evaluative analysis (in-class) 10% Two peer edits for research paper (in-class) 25% Essay # 3: Research paper 10% Participation A+ = 95-100% = flawless or nearly flawless A = 90-94% = exceptional A- = 85-99% = excellent B+ = 80-84% = extremely good B = 75-79% = very good B- = 70-74% = good C+ = 65-69% = competent C = 60-65% = barely competent C- = 55-59% = flawed P = 50-54% = seriously flawed F = 0-49% = unacceptable, fail Assignments and Essays - There will be no re-writes or make-up assignments. - Late essays will be docked 10% per day late. If you’re absent for an in-class essay you’ll receive 0%. Exceptions can be made in rare and documented circumstances. - If you don’t show up for a peer edit, you’ll only be able to make up the assignment if you have a documented reason. Even then, you’ll get at best 50% of the mark. This is because the mark is mostly based on helping other students during the peer edit. - Computer or printer problems won’t be accepted as valid reasons for missing or incomplete work. Always back up your latest copy. Since computers and printers can malfunction, complete your work at least a day in advance. Keep copies of earlier drafts. 4 - If you can’t physically hand me a paper when it’s due, put it in the LLPA assignment drop-box next to 2600. If you are sick (or an emergency prevents you from coming to class), send me the essay by email. You must also (at a later date) give me a hard copy that’s exactly the same as the emailed version. I’ll mark the hard copy. If the hard copy differs from the original, I’ll count the hard copy as late. - Except in exceptional circumstances, I won’t mark emailed assignments or essays. Participation and Attendance The participation mark reflects the degree to which you’re prepared for class and the degree to which you engage in classroom discussion in a constructive manner. TEXTING AND TALKING DURING LECTURES ARE SURE WAYS TO LOWER YOUR PARTICIPATION MARK. Attendance is mandatory. For a three-hour class, I’ll dock 5% of your final course mark for the second and for subsequent undocumented absences. For a two-hour class I’ll dock 2.5% for the third and for subsequent undocumented absences. If you don’t attend at least 70% of the class—for whatever reason—you can’t get credit for the course. You’ll receive a “UN” grade—an unofficial withdrawal. If you have a job that conflicts with the class, get time-release commitments from your employer or drop the class. Don’t expect me to let you skip classes, come late, or leave early. If you repeatedly arrive late or leave early, you’ll be marked absent on those occasions. After term ends I can give you mark breakdowns, and we can set up an appointment to discuss your mark, yet I won’t discuss your mark in detail over email. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY Whenever you use a specific source for a marked assignment, you must document it. You don’t need to document what’s common knowledge (for example, that AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), but you must document any wording or information that has a specific source (for example, a specific statement made about AIDS, a statistic on infection rates, etc.). Using the work of another student, or collaborating on the details of a final draft (apart from the two peer edits), is considered plagiarism. Plagiarism will result in a 0% for the paper, and may also result in additional measures decided by the College according to its Academic Dishonesty Policy—www.douglas college.ca/~/media/1B20B254925B41DD9F93C5B7CAF16700.ashx. I suggest looking at EAA “Quoting, Paraphrasing, Summarizing” (388-400) and EAA “Giving Credit, Avoiding Plagiarism” (401-406). The College library has handouts on 5 citations, and their website has plenty of detailed information on citing and sourcing. The OWL site at Purdue University (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/) is also an excellent resource for MLA and APA documentation. It has a helpful section, “Using Research.” Classroom Etiquette While I want students to feel free to discuss almost anything in class, here are four rules to keep in mind: 1. Please put up your hand if you have a question or comment. 2. Try to be diplomatic when responding to the ideas of other students. 3. Electronic Devices Don’t use cellphones, tablets, or computers during class (except when we’re looking at a text that’s in CF). Take notes by hand. Please make phone calls in the hallway. If you’re expecting an important call or message, or if you’re an emergency contact, please tell me about it before class. Students who need to use laptops to take notes must have a letter from the Centre for Students with Disabilities. 4. Side conversations Please give your undivided attention while someone’s talking. Side conversations can be distracting to other students and are especially distracting to teachers. The occasional very brief comment to your neighbour is fine, but any sort of sustained conversation will lower your participation mark. 6 SCHEDULE CF = Course file CP = Course pack EAA = Everyone’s An Author Readings in bold = read before class, and bring to class WEEK 1 CF Introduction CF The Academic Essay CF Rhetoric Optional Reading EAA “Preface” (vii-xvi) and “Introduction” (xxix-xxxiv) EAA From Part I (1-40) EAA “Chapters 26-9” (515-569) – note the following sections: “Tweets to Reports: Moving from Social Media to Academic Writing” (526) “Meeting the Demands of Academic Writing: ‘It’s Like Learning a New Language’” (538) WEEK 2 CF “Continued Perplexities” (Twain, below) Optional Reading EAA “Chapter 8: “Writing a Narrative” (101-121) EAA “Emotional, Ethical, and Logical Appeals (284-9) How does Twain use metaphor in the first paragraph.

Do You Want to Know a Secret?”: Mad Men, Episode 10, “Hands & Knees” September 29, 2010 By Tim Anderson | The most striking use of pop music in this season of Mad Men appears at the beginning of episode eight, “The Summer Man”. Opening with a montage of Don Draper after he has begun to reclaim his life we hear The Rolling Stones 1965 summer release, “(I can’t get no) Satisfaction”. Arguably their signature song of the 1960s, the Stones’ three minutes and forty four seconds of audible discontent is layered onto a somewhat rehabilitated Draper who swims and takes on writing exercises.

    “Women Usually Want to Please”: A Linguistic Analysis of Femininity and Power in Mad Men ​ by Stephanie Stoneback A thesis presented for the B.A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2019 © 2019 Stephanie Christine Stoneback To my mom. Acknowledgments First of all, I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Anne Curzan, for her unwavering support, guidance, and understanding throughout this process. Anne, without your encouragement, listening ear, criticism, and patience, I would have never been able to produce such exciting analysis that I am proud of. To me, you embody what it means to be a powerful woman and you are such an inspiration as I complete my undergraduate work and enter a new phase of life. Thank you so much for that. Next, I must thank our program director, Adela Pinch, for her helpful tips and constant reminders that everything was going to be okay. Adela, in many ways, you have shaped my education as an English major at the University of Michigan—you taught me the Introduction to Literary Studies course, a course on Jane Austen, and both semesters of Thesis Writing. Thank you so much for the years of engaged learning, critical thinking, and community building. I would also like to thank some of the staff members of the New England Literature Program, who helped instill in me a confidence in my writing and in my self that I never knew I was capable of. Aric Knuth, Ryan Babbitt, Mark Gindi, Maya West, and Kristin Gilger, each of you had a distinct and lasting impact on me, in some unspoken and perhaps sacred ways.

  • THE CIRCUITRY of MEMORY: TIME and SPACE in MAD MEN by Molly Elizabeth Lewis B.A., Honours, the University of British Columbia, 2
    THE CIRCUITRY OF MEMORY: TIME AND SPACE IN MAD MEN by Molly Elizabeth Lewis B.A., Honours, The University of British Columbia, 2013 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Film Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2015 © Molly Elizabeth Lewis, 2015 Abstract Memory is central to Mad Men (Matthew Weiner 2007-15) as a period piece set in the 1960s that activates the memories of its viewers while also depicting the subjective memory processes of its protagonist Donald Draper (Jon Hamm). Narratively, as much as Don may try to move forward and forget his past, he ultimately cannot because the memories will always remain. Utilizing the philosophy of Henri Bergson, I reveal that the series effectively renders Bergson’s notion of the coexistence of past and present in sequences that journey into the past without ever leaving the present. Mad Men ushers in a new era of philosophical television that is not just perceived, but also remembered. As a long-form serial narrative that intricately layers past upon present, Mad Men is itself an evolving memory that can be revisited by the viewer who gains new insight upon each viewing. Mad Men is the ideal intersection of Bergson’s philosophy of the mind and memory and Gilles Deleuze’s cinematic philosophy of time. The first chapter simply titled “Time,” examines the series’ first flashback sequence from the episode “Babylon,” in it finding the Deleuzian time- image. The last chapter “Space,” seeks to identify the spatial structure of the series as a whole and how it relates to its slow-burning pace.

Sisterhood in the '60s: Joan, Peggy, and a Feminist Awakening Abstract The period between World War II and the women's liberation movement was marked by palpable tension over social changes and gender ideology-an aspect of the postwar era well-known to historians but usually overlooked in the mass media. Television shows such as Leave It to Beaver (1957-1963), Father Knows Best (1954-1960), and The Adventures ofOzzie and Harriet (1952-1966) imagined a time that never existed, presenting the nation's women as domestic and suburban, happily embracing their roles as homemakers and submitting to their husband's authority (Coontz, 2000).

  • "The Strong, Silent Type": Tony Soprano, Don Draper, and the Construction of the White Male Antihero in Contemporary Television Drama
    "THE STRONG, SILENT TYPE": TONY SOPRANO, DON DRAPER, AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WHITE MALE ANTIHERO IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION DRAMA James Beale A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2014 Committee: Becca Cragin, Advisor Esther Clinton Jeremy Wallach © 2014 James Beale All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Becca Cragin, Advisor In this thesis, I examine intertextuality present between The Sopranos and Mad Men, particularly in regards to each show’s protagonist. Tony Soprano and Don Draper are complex characters, each with their own conflicts, neuroses, and supporting characters, yet both men address a similar question: what does it mean to be a man in 21st century America? Both men deal with complex identities due to their pasts, exacerbated struggles due to their jobs, and most importantly, equally complex women who challenge their authority. While addressing issues of gender, I discuss the linkages present between each show’s creator, David Chase and Matthew Weiner, which speaks to the broader thematic overlap between the two dramas. Intertextuality, partially stemming from Weiner’s time in the Sopranos writing room under Chase, can help to interrogate television’s own auteur, the showrunner. I also analyze the white male antihero archetype as a whole, which has been popular on American television in the past fifteen years, as I trace the major conflicts to Robert Warshow’s formulation of the gangster as a tragic hero. For Warshow, though, the gangster ultimately worked as a straightforward morality tale – in these shows, the message of the antihero is deliberately muddled, crafting an intimate portrait of masculinity in crisis.

    Re:Search Indecent Proposals: A Historical Reading of Sexual Politics in Mad Men Mary Baker, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ABSTRACT Mad Men (AMC 2007—), a critically acclaimed television series set in the midst of the prosperous New York advertising industry during the early to mid-1960s, often explores the psychological, romantic, and work-related implications of conflicting identities. This project focuses on how Mad Men constructs the workplace and sexual identities of two of its secondary characters, Sal Salvatore, the Italian-American and closeted homosexual Art Director of Mad Men’s fictional advertising agency, and Joan Harris, a white, heterosexual woman who heads the agency’s secretarial pool for most of the series. Both Sal and Joan experience workplace sexual propositioning from important clients during the series, but the outcomes of their individual situations are vastly different. This article compares Sal and Joan’s situations in order to explore how Mad Men considers and values male homosexuality and active female sexuality in the context of both 1960s and contemporary social mores. KEYWORDS historical representation, Mad Men, sexual politics, sexual propositioning, television fiction Volume 1, Issue 1 | 2014 1 Re:Search Approximately seven years have passed since Mad Men (AMC 2007-) joined the ranks of television shows contributing to the critically dubbed second coming of TV’s Golden Age. Predominant critical opinion cites The Sopranos (HBO 1999-2007) as the fundamental source of TV’s cultural renaissance, but indicates shows like The Wire (HBO 2002-2008), 30 Rock (NBC 2006-2013), Breaking Bad (AMC 2008-2013), The Walking Dead (AMC 2010-), Homeland (Showtime 2011-), and Mad Men as evidence of television’s current status as the medium of quality today: “We are living in good TV times.

Par Felicia Traistaru Département d’histoire Faculté des arts et des sciences Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures En vue de l’obtention du grade de Maitre ès art (M.A) en histoire Août 2017 © Felicia Mihali, 2017 Université de Montréal Faculté des études supérieures Ce mémoire intitulé : La série Mad Men et la publicité dans les années soixante : une élégie de la révolution créative. Présenté par Felicia Traistaru A été évalué par un jury composé par les personnes suivantes : Yakov Rabkin Président-rapporteur Bruno Ramirez Directeur de recherche Marta Boni Membre du jury iii RÉSUMÉ Ce mémoire est consacré à l’analyse de la télésérie américaine Mad Men en tant que reflet de la révolution créative aux États-Unis. À travers la fictive agence de publicité Sterling Cooper & Partners et de son charismatique directeur artistique, Don Draper, la série personnifie la culture corporatiste des cols blancs et les nouveaux défis encourus par l’homme de l’organisation dans les années soixante. Basée sur la méthode de l’historicisme, cette analyse historique met en évidence la manière dont Mad Men incarne cette décennie à partir des sources populaires telles que les romans, les films ou les magazines. Ce type de documents sont pris par les créateurs de la série comme l’expression des certaines valeurs et attitudes des années soixante mais aussi bien comme outil pour la critique des idées consacrées. Mad Men nous permet de comprendre la manière dont la révolution des techniques publicitaires se déroule dans le décor d’une société où les grands enjeux restent encore non résolus.

Mad Men, Corporate Culture, and Violence against Women Abstract Synthesizing Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of symbolic violence and Rosabeth Moss Kanter’s framework of corporate roles to examine Mad Men’s representation of women’s work, Tracy Lucht and Jane Marcellus investigate the show’s construction of the Secretary, Corporate Wife, and Token High-Level Woman in relation to symbolic violence, which looks beyond physical manifestations of violence to consider social relations that deny women’s subjectivity. Viewed through these paired theoretical lenses, the narrative arcs of women on Mad Men illustrate how work, appearance, social position, sexuality, and material property are appropriated and exchanged for male gain.

  • Don, Betty and Jackie Kennedy
    Cultural Studies Review volume 18 number 2 September 2012 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/journals/index.php/csrj/index pp. 188–206 Prudence Black and Catherine Driscoll 2012 Don, Betty and Jackie Kennedy On Mad Men and Periodisation PRUDENCE BLACK AND CATHERINE DRISCOLL UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY This essay considers the use of period detail and historical reference in Mad Men and the importance of periodisation to its mode of address. The embrace of period detail in Mad Men is at once loving and fetishistic and it belongs, as in all period film and television, to the politics of the present. But how is it that we watch Mad Men and think it represents a period? Flashes of patterned wallpaper, whiskey neat, contact lining for kitchen drawers, Ayn Rand, polaroids, skinny ties, new Hilton hotels, and Walter Cronkite all evoke a time when the world and how we might live in it was different in powerful ways. They comprise the evocative period setting for the series’ central ethical dramas: Don Draper asks ‘What do women want?’ and dry old Roger Sterling can reply ‘Who cares?’ And it is as period drama that these ethical questions can offer a speculative political drama that at once disavows and proclaims its present-tense politics. The series begins with the start of the Kennedy administration in 1960 and consistently refers to an image of cultural revolution associated with both the ISSN 1837-8692 Kennedys and the 1960s. The story about the sixties which frames Mad Men centres on this image of cultural revolution periodised by new hopes and fears and by the decline of ‘the American dream’.
