    Tips & Tricks

    What are Secondary Sources?  Journal articles & chapters etc... written about a work of literature and offering a critical view of that work are called literary criticism.

    What are Primary Sources?  Original works of literature and uninterpreted information about an event or period of time.

    Beware Wikipedia!
    It can't be cited in academic essays (avoid sites where authors aren't accountable for contributions). 

    Evaluate! Evaluate! Evaluate!
    Be critical about everything you read

    Avoid Plaigiarism
    Don't use an author's work or ideas without referencing them (yes, even if it's not directly quoted & you've changed the words)

     

    Books of Interest

    Everyday Pornography - Karen Boyle
    ISBN: 9780415543798
    Public and academic debate about ‘porn culture’ is proliferating. Ironically, what is often lost in these debates is a sense of what is specific about pornography. By focusing on pornography’s mainstream – contemporary commercial products for a heterosexual male audience – Everyday Pornography offers the opportunity to reconsider what it is that makes pornography a specific form of industrial practice and genre of representation.

    Media and Youth - Steven J. Kirsh
    ISBN: 1405179473
    A comprehensive review and critique of the research and theoretical literature related to media effects on infants, children, and adolescents, with a unique emphasis on development.

    Cover Art
    Modernist cultural studies - Catherine Driscoll
    ISBN: 0813034248
    For many scholars, cultural studies is viewed as a product of postmodern criticism and as the antithesis of modernism. In this brilliant work, Catherine Driscoll argues persuasively that we must view what we call cultural studies as a direct continuation of the innovations and concerns of modernism and the modernists.

    Cover Art
    Postcolonial Cinema Studies - Marguerite Waller (Editor); Sandra Ponzanesi (Editor)
    ISBN: 9780415782296
    This collection of essays foregrounds the work of filmmakers in theorizing and comparing postcolonial conditions, recasting debates in both cinema and postcolonial studies. Postcolonial cinema is presented, not as a rigid category, but as an optic through which to address questions of postcolonial historiography, geography, subjectivity, and epistemology.

In exploring the disruptive power of the child in films made for an adult audience across popular films... Karen Lury investigates why the figure of the child has such a significant impact on the visual aspects & storytelling potential of cinema
