His 5000, EIU, Fall 20101. Final Presentations a. All will be given week 15, 7 Dec. 6:15 pm - 9:30 pm. 15 min. each with a 15min. break. Presentations should be only 7-8 min. I do not want a summary ofyour paper. Instead, each presentation should include:i. a working title (clearly explains your subject, perhaps evenproblem/argument)ii. 3 articles/chapters/books you are including in your historiographicalreview(1) citation for each (Chicago Manual of Style, either Bib or Noteform)(2) articles should be of three distinct approaches to yoursubject/question (gender, class, linguistic turn, etc.)(3) explain to us each approach/view succinctly (not just, this bookexamines gender in Reconstruction, but this book examines rolesfor former women and men slaves in the Reconstruction in order tocritique previous arguments about the failure of the Reconstrution)iii. The best evidence/example/quote from each of these three that you thinkbest proves the point, or shows the approach/argument has merit (in otherwords, a historian can state any argument she or he wants - emotions arethe major cause of events in history, say - but without evidence, mosthistorians, including me, couldn't really care.iv. The title, citations, and the quote(s) or piece of evidence should all be inhard copy (you can cut-and-paste these all on a piece of paper or you canprint the relevant pages from the journal article; but 5 pages max fromeach of you).v. Turn in your page(s) with all of 3.a.iv to me by 11 Tuesday and I willphotocopy it for everyone by 6. Later than 11 am, you will have to make12 copies for myself and everyone in the group by 6.b. Presentations are VERY brief, really going over the handouts outline in 3a. The2nd half of each one's 15 minutes of fame will be devoted to asking andanswering one question from the floor (your colleagues) and one from the chair(me). I will assign one person to ask a question/make a comment for eachpresentation, based roughly on your subjects. Good question/comment helps yourparticipation grade. (If we have time, other questions are available, but weprobably won't have much time in the 15 minutes. I will or I will have someoneraise a card with 1 minute sign, when you reach 6 min. into presentation, etc.)[NOTE: If you can email your handout to your commentator preferably by Sun.night or Monday morning, they (and I) will appreciate it.]2. Paper Assignment: His 5000 Historiographical Review. This paper (12-18 pp., 30%)will be a critical review of the historiography on subject bounded in time and space. Within this historiography you should find a variety of approaches (for example, aMarxist approach, a gendered approach, an Atlantic world approach, a microhistory,etc.–how many approaches will vary, but 2-3 is too few, and 8 different approaches is toomany). Your historiographical review should be modeled on those in Historical Journal(available in Booth, JStor, etc.), although those in HJ focus on recent books and yoursprobably will analyze articles and books over the past fifty years or more. You will beadvised in preparing a bibliography for this paper both by myself and another professor inthe department with the relevant specialty (as well as your own searches in HistoricalAbstracts, America History and Life, Booth stacks, etc.). Essays should be typed, double-spaced, and use Chicago Manual of Style/Turabian form of referencing (see citation guidehttp://ux1.eiu.edu/~nekey/citate.htm). a. I suggest that you consult and analyze at least one historiographical review essayon your subject, as well as eight-to-ten key articles (or relevant chapters in books),and four-to-six book reviews. Also, append a further reading list of eight-to-tenadditional works which you consulted only briefly, but which you know throughreviews, other articles, to be relevant to your argument. This can be revised (morearticles, less book reviews; a full seminal book in your field, fewer articles).b. Papers should take into consideration questions/comments followingpresentations, and are due 16 Dec.c. The strongest papers will deploy the words from the glossary we have beendeveloping over the
