  1. ENGL 2307 13 February 2014

  2. For Tuesday • Summary and Explanation of a source • Choose one critical source to use for your paper • Write a summary of the source’s argument • Write an explanation of how you will use/have used it in your paper • Remember that the article should not be making the same argument you are • Draft of your essay for peer review • Approximately 750 words • Full argument (intro/thesis, support, conclusion)

  3. Peer Review • Bring two hard copies of your draft (or a computer/tablet that the file can be read on) • Read and respond to the papers of two classmates (I will have some questions to help lead your discussion). • Rules: • Trust yourself as a reader. • Don’t sweat the small stuff (content first). • Be kind. • Take it seriously (you only get as much as you put in).

  4. Tips for Reading Critical Articles • Use the abstract and/or subject terms to lead you. • Skim • First, look for leading phrases. • “I argue…” • “In this paper, we examine…” • “First,” “Next,” “Finally,” “Ultimately,” • Read closely • Note the argument • Watch for textual support • Keep in mind the sources the author(s) use

  5. “James: Twists of the Governess” • We don’t have an abstract or subject terms, but the first textual note tells us: • Hegel, Kierkegaard, Freud, and Proust will be important • Even if you do not recognize Hegel, Kierkegaard, and Proust, you know Freud. • Psychoanalytical reading

  6. “James: Twists of the Governess” • Hegel (1770-1831) • German philosopher • Major work: The Phenomenology of Spirit • Master/slave used to examine struggles, especially social struggles, but it can be any. • Desire for recognition; dominance/submission • Kierkegaard (1813-1855) • Danish writer (philosopher and more) • Critiques Hegel • “Father of Existentialism” • Proust (1871-1922)—French Writer

  7. “James: Twists of the Governess” • Hysteria • Medical condition diagnosed as early as 200 BC • Considered exclusively female until 19th century • Early causes were demonic possession • Related to blood flow, often (we can’t fuel our brain and our uterus at the same time) • Treated by herbal remedies, absolute bed rest (think “The Yellow Wallpaper”), or stimulation (later) • Men began experiencing it after the development of the train—also, Freud identified it as not purely female

  8. “James: Twists of the Governess” • What is his argument? • How does he support it? • Is it convincing for you? • Remember, it isn’t all or nothing. • Problems, concerns, questions?

  10. Class work • Go over the sources you brought to class. • Note the important subject terms. • Identify the thesis. • Where does the author use textual support? How? • Does this fit with the argument you are making in your paper? How?

  11. Cell Phone Quiz • What is Sussman’s thesis? • How does Sussman explain the doubling in The Turn of the Screw? • Would you say Sussman believes that the haunting is real?
