Your fifth blog post, due on March 28th, was originally supposed to be on Elisabeth Anker’s introduction to Orgies of Feeling. However, I’ve decided that if you would like to write about one of your research paper sources instead, that’s also perfectly fine. Keep in mind that the source needs to be an academic source that is not one of our class readings. If you choose to do that, follow the directions for your fourth blog post.
If you decide to blog about Anker’s introduction, you can choose your own approach to the text. The only thing that you need to keep in mind is to include one quote from her text, which you then discuss in some detail. Don’t feel pressure to cover everything said in the introduction; you should choose a focus for your post, e.g. “the melodramatic elements of the political discourse surrounding 9/11”, “the effects of melodramatic political discourse”, “things from the introduction that are useful for my research”, “what I liked/disliked about Anker’s introduction”.
The blog posts should be 250-300 words.
