Description
Assignment #3: Annotated Bibliography Instruction This handout is meant to assist you in refining your reading materials for your research project. You are to locate four (4) peer reviewed articles. No, non-academic writings—e.g., newspapers, or magazines—are to be included or will not count for this assignment. An annotated bibliography is foundational for developing your competency on your object of study; it allows you to survey as to what has been written about your particular object of study; it allows you to see how previous studies have framed their research; and note how an author structures their language, how they use metaphors, and the kinds of explanations used to constructed not only their research but how they present their work. It is important to find quality and reliable sources for your research project. For this assignment, you are to look for four (4) peer-reviewed articles, which pertain to your particular topic, of the four (4) articles. Peer reviewed articles come from professionally published journals, such as Globalizations, or Social Theory, Journal of Social Psychology and so on. Wikipedia is not a reliable source for peer-reviewed information, but you may begin your search for ideas with Wikipedia. Due Date Wednesday, 28 October 2020 by 11:59 pm. Formatting One-inch margins. Font Times Roman or Times New Roman, and 12-point font. This is the only written assignment that is to be single-spaced (see example below). Each entry you submit has to look exactly as the example below. Online Data Bases I strongly encourage you to begin your investigation by using one of these three sites: http://www.jstor.org; http://scholar.google.com; and/ or the campus library. For both links I encourage you to use the California State University Dominguez Hills off-campus library list serve when you begin to look for sources via jstor.org, or scholar.google.com, you may not be able to gain access to written materials that may add value to your research proposal. You may also look for specific sociological journals: American Journal of Sociology (AJS); Annual Review of Sociology (ARS); Cultural Sociology (CS); Theory and Society (TS); Social Problems (SP); Women and Society (WS), Globalizations (GL); Society, Education & Globalization (SEG), this is only a very short list. Once you have identified and decided what four (4) peered reviewed articles you will use, you are to provide the bibliographic information for a serialized article, the following is the ASA format: Last name, First name. Year of publication. “Title of article.” Name of Journal. volume Number): Pages. Part I This is how you are to an annotated bibliographic reference for an article (refer to ASA Style book): Lefebvre, Henri. 1991. Production of Space. Blackwell Publishers, LTD.: Oxford. Part II Once you write out the bibliographic information, you are to provide a one-paragraph summary of the article’s main argument, evidence used, and the assumptions presented by the author(s)—under each bibliographic reference. You paraphrase the author’s study—you do not directly quote the author’s study—use your own words to summarize the text! An annotated bibliography compels you to think about not only your topic but find connections between your thoughts and these of the author and evaluate paths that you may not have thought of previously. Part III After you write a one-paragraph summary of the article you have selected, you are to write, at a minimum a paragraph for each entry and explain: 1) Why did you select this source for your research project? 2) How does your source add to your research topic? Part IV Lastly, identify a concept or a keyword from the source you have selected. Define the concept/ keyword as the author operationalizes and explain how you will use the concept/ keyword in your writing. Example: Annotated Bibliographic Reference, (Monograph): Lefebvre, Henri. 1992. Production of Space. Blackwell Publishers, LTD.: Oxford. The Social Production of space primary thesis is how space is socially produced. Space is the result of historical, political, cultural, economic, and material conditions that combine in unique and interesting combinations. Lefebvre assumes that space is not neutral, static but is dynamic element for the structuring of social interactions. Geographic location, buildings, the patterns of infrastructure along with ideological underpinnings (race and ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality) shape social interactions. Since space is socially produced and active, Lefebvre continues to say that there are two distinct views of space: first, there is mental space, and the second one is physical space. Mental space is the way people and communities think about space; whereas physical space the material aspects of spatial forms. In a sense, following Lefebvre’s explanation, space is dialectical. Lefebvre’s work adds to my analysis by assisting me on how to conduct spatial analysis from a materialist perspective. Space, as Lefebvre presents throughout his study, for the need to incorporate spatial as an important element of philosophical, political, and economic understanding. He also offers a methodology that assists in my understanding on how to sensitize by thinking and observations about spatial formations. Using Lefebvre’s trifecta of Conceived Space, Representational Space, and Space of Representations Conceived space show how political figures, financial investors and urban planners, and community members understand spatial forms, and how each social group would think of and use space differently that leads to contradictions. Representational space is how discursive and aesthetic principles come to represent a given spatial form. Panorama City was once viewed as a community to work in, have children and raise a family, and to live a comfortably in a working-class community. This view changed during a pivotal restructuring of the political, cultural and economic landscape of California but the nation.
