This week we will be looking at the art photography of Lorna Simpson and Adrienne Piper:

Art photographers like Fosso, Weems, Simpson and Piper (and the following photographers) work conceptually to ask philosophical questions. It is required that you read “‘Acting Like a Man’: The Mythic Being and Black Feminism” and “Marianne Lately—Lorna Simpson and the Cinema of Feminine Illusion” in your photocopied packet before responding to the works of both of these artists (this week you will be writing two bibliographies, and next week you will write three, so as to prepare you to write your proposal for the research project—due Friday October 30 at midnight, so be prepared to spend a little extra time on this course these coming weeks). If you can, also familiarize yourself with Mohanty’s argument in “‘Under Western Eyes,’ Revisited” (also in your photocopied packet). Bibliographies #7 and #8 will be due Monday Oct 19 at midnight. 

I urge you to really think about your research project as you select and write the following bibliographies. How might you incorporate what you are learning and the work you’ve already done this semester in this course into your research project? Also, I want to emphasize that the research paper can read like any of the articles you have read in this course thus far. Some authors, if you remember, use “I.” Others choose to focus solely on the art and concepts and argument at hand. I’ll be asking you which article was your favorite soon. You might consider using this article as a template for your own essay… I'll also post the proposal assignment at some point this week, so that you have ample time to begin drafting your proposal.
