Assignment Prompt & Instructions
Prompt
Describe two different ways that _Shanghai_ or its characters express their understanding of your chosen concept (i.e., Ethics, Gender, Self+Other). Explain why they are different.
Required Materials
Yokomitsu Riichi, _Shanghai_, pp. 1-45
Format
One page, double-spaced, Times New Roman or similar, 12-point font. Follow citation practices described in the citation guide.
Tips (thanks for your questions!)
• Please review the work 1 Rubric 下载 P 1 Rubric(posted Thursday 1/9).
• I expect to see at least two pieces of evidence. You do not need to include more than that.
• Use the evidence you collected in your Evidence Journal if it is relevant.
• By "explain why they are different" I actually mean explain *how* they are different. You don't have to make a historical argument to explain why Yamaguchi and Osugi think about the Ethics of using human bodies as commodities differently. Instead, I want you to point out exactly what the differences are between their two understandings of the Ethics of human bodies as commodities.
• You can imagine your audience to be people who are already very familiar with Shanghai (that is, me and your TA). You do not need to include any context for a “general reader.”
• Do your best to avoid the Forbidden Words. It will make your interpretations more interesting and more useful for the next stages of the course. Of course, it makes sense to describe Kôya et al as "Japanese." However, I would shy away from describing their sentiments / actions / thoughts as evidence of a "Japanese sense of ethics" or "Japanese notions of gender."
• Please write in complete sentences and use paragraphs. You do not need to include an introduction or conclusion (unless they help you to communicate your points more clearly). You do not need to follow any standardized work format.
• You do not need to include a Works Cited page.
• For citations, please follow the simplified citation style described in the Citation Worksheet.下载 Citation Worksheet.
• You may use the quotes that I shared in class.
• You may write more than one page, but please do not write too much more than one page (i.e., a few extra sentences is fine, but 2-3 extra paragraphs is too much).
• Please include your name at the top of the page. You do not need to include any other header information.
• Your TA will provide feedback on your analysis that you can use to improve for the next work.
