AHVS 346C: Visual Culture in Jane Austen’s World
Research Assignment Stage 1
Assignment: This is the birth of your major project for this semester. To begin, you will do a little digging. Consider what about this period is of particular interest to you, what do you have questions about when you consider the late 18thC/early 19thC (1790-1820). Now, find an object/artwork around which you can base your line of inquiry. Finally, start investigating sources that will help you along the way.
This assignment includes your bibliography, including at least 4 preliminary sources (1 of which must be a primary source) as well as a short abstract introducing your proposed project. This must introduce your object and may ask the questions you are looking to unpack.
ALSO - indicate if you will give a
presentation or written essay for Stage 3.
The Specifics:
· Ensure that your name, student number, course number, and word count for your abstract (300-400 words) all appear on the first page.
· Ensure your citations (footnotes and bibliography) are consistent. There is a link to this on BrightSpace.
· This assignment assesses your ability to follow instructions, conduct research, and begin a line of original inquiry. I will be looking for at least 4 different sources.
· Plagiarism
WILL NOTbe tolerated. See your syllabus and the University of Victoria Calendar for details. Understanding what constitutes plagiarism is your responsibility and is vital as it could result in a failing grade or worse.
Due:
October 4, 2022, 2pm You will submit your work via BrightSpace in .pdf, .doc or .docx format. Failure to do this (if I have to chase you up for formatting) will result in a 1% deduction. This is worth 15% of your final grade; please review my lateness policies.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

RESEARCH PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS
!
For your research assignment, you will be tasked with researching a piece of art, and then
reinterpreting it in your own creative way.
!
The following will guide you through the basic process you will use to create your
reinterpretation:
1.
You will choose your piece of art by drawing a topic, at random, from a hat.
2. Once you’ve chosen your piece of art, perform research on it.
3. For a 4-5-page research project, you should use no fewer than 6 credible sources.
i.
With the exception of the databases available through the College’s libraries,
none of your sources may come from the Internet.
4. After you’ve completed your research and have a good understanding of the piece of
art, use what you’ve learned to create your own interpretation of it.
i.
You may, and in fact are encouraged to, change the medium from the original
work of art to your own.
ii.
For instance, if you choose a painting, you may reinterpret that as a painting, a
song, a film, etc.
iii. Be sure the medium you choose caters to your own abilities and interests, not the
original artist’s.
iv. Possible media to consider for your interpretation include photography, fashion
design, painting, dance, sculpture, modeling, film, or poetry.
v. Be creative and “think outside the box”!
5. Finally, craft a research paper that first discusses the original artwork, as you understand
it from your research.
i.
This section should make up the bulk of your paper’s length – at least 3 – 4
pages.
2. ii.
In addition, you should not use first or second person point-of-view when writing
this section of your paper.
iii. After discussing the original artwork, then discuss your own interpretation. Be
sure to explain your own perspective and artistic choices. This is the only section
of your paper in which you are allowed to use first-person point-of-view (i.e.
“After completing my research on Michelangelo, I concluded that…”).
iv. Collectively, the written component of your project should total 4-5 full pages.
v. Your text should be double-spaced, set in Times New Roman size 12 font, and
have standard 1” margins.
vi. Use proper MLA style citation for in-text citations, the Works Cited page, and the
cover page (refer to attached MLA style guide for help).
6. Both the artistic and the written components of your project are due in class on
Tuesday, April 22nd.
7. One draft may be turned in for feedback on April 8th – this must be done via email to
Prof.Will.Adams@Gmail.com.
!
In conclusion: Have as much fun as you can with this! This assignment isn’t meant as a
punishment, but rather as an opportunity for you to synthesize academic skills with personal
expression. The more passionate you are about your chosen topic, that less “work” this
assignment will be.
