In 1200-1700 words (roughly 5-7 pages, double spaced) contextualize an “artifact” that exemplifies some intersection of gender and technology in terms of the theory we have covered in this class.
These contextualizations should:
Clearly articulate the cultural and historical significance of the artifact (this can include the chronology, maker, and/or other things like it).
Explain the artifact’s historical context.
Make some kind of historical argument about the artifact (see the list of historical questions here).
Explain how one/some of the theories we have read help us to more. deeply understand the artifact.
Make clear and innovative claims.
Reference specific pieces of evidence from the artifact.
Include proper references (to THREE sources from the class readings and TWO outside sources)
To apply, students should: 1) choose one of the organizing threads, 2) decide whether they would like to apply to the related seminar or to the workshop, and 3) send their one-page document (a thesis articulation for a seminar or an artist statement for a workshop) including their name and institution as a Word file to performingparts2016@gmail.com
The one-page thesis articulations should:
Identify some aspect of the thread they would like to discuss (i.e. not just “gender and technology” but some particular aspect of that theme)
Engage with the questions of a particular thread (see the CFP)
Make some claim or argument about the thread to which they are applying
Support that claim with references to relevant literature
