Gender and Society

This reflection exercise is to check for understanding for the main takeaways, demonstrate critical thinking abilities, and share personal thoughts on the piece. The reflection will have a maximum of 3 paragraphs of 6-8 full sentences each (a sample is available in course content section of Blackboard). Each reflection should have the citation from the syllabus at the top of the document. PLEASE NOTE: Students will lose points if this is NOT included.
• First Paragraph-what are the main takeaways from the article?
• Second Paragraph- did the article include a study? If so, give the study details to include
type of study quantitative/qualitative/meta-analysis, etc. Who were participants and how many were there? How did they recruit? How long were interviews, if applicable. Use your 6-8 sentences to give a good overview of the data source(s) without using full sentence quotes taken from the author. If the article is secondary data analysis, you should detail the original source along with the type of analysis performed. Some articles will be more theoretical in nature. For these, use examples of the theories (citing their authors) for your second paragraph. You do not need to add the theory authors to the citation section of your reflection.
• Third paragraph-when the week includes multiple readings, attempt to tie them together or contrast them against each other. Some articles clearly discuss similar concepts while others may build on the original gender literature (week one). This is the critical thinking skill of finding connections or contradictions between articles.
For weeks with singular readings, students can use any previous week’s articles to make connections or contrasts. After the reflection’s last paragraph, add a line “Additional Sources” and add the citation from the compare/contrast article. Only use the articles from the course. The citations can be pulled directly from the syllabus. Do not bring in outside course materials to compare/contrast.

Write a response to the following article by Chester P Walker: “Prehistoric Art of the Central Mississippi Valley,” found in Hero, Hawk and Open Hand

Write a response to the following article by Chester P Walker: “Prehistoric Art of the Central Mississippi
Valley,” found in Hero, Hawk and Open Hand … pages 219 to 230, as provided in the form of the
attached digital copy and following the guidelines listed below.
Art historians who work on Native American art and architecture rely on the expertise of archaeologists
and anthropologists for their understanding of the material. We also rely on the comments of informants
familiar with the respective cultures. These might be people from within a culture or visitors to a culture.
In the case of extinct cultures, we rely on the input given by the descendants of the people who lived
within those cultures. These later people provide invaluable retroactive interpretations of artworks and
structures. On the other hand, Europeans who visited Native American peoples, sometimes several
hundred years ago, also provide insights through the records that they made regarding their visits.
When we analyze artifacts, we typically take into consideration the date of manufacture, the material
used, the technique applied, the scale, the locale of an excavation site, design motifs, colors employed,
iconography, aesthetic aspects, gender issues, identity of the maker and the function of a particular item.
After reading the article carefully please write a response 700 to 750 words in length in which you discuss
the following:
Part One
Study figure 3 and figure 6. Analyze the objects in terms of form, material, color, design motifs and
function.
Part Two
Study figure 7 in terms of material, color, design and meaning of the form of the vessel. Compare and
contrast it with the pictographic image of Mishupishu placed on Agawa Rock in Ontario that we see in
class tis next week.
Part Three
Study the human head effigies seen in figures one, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26 and 27.
Then read very carefully what the article discloses about them in terms of the opinions on them held by
various archaeologists / anthropologists. Finally, write a detailed essay explaining what you think about
them as a group, focusing on the following: material, technique, the design elements and their meaning,
the overall aesthetic value of the vessels in your personal opinion, while paying special attention to the
treatment by the makers of the mouths and eyes and the decorations of the faces. Explain the function of
the tabs and the perforations. Who do these represent and how may they have been used? Could any non-
Native American have seen them before present day archaeologist unearthed them? If so, who? Then tell
me how effigy head number 25 is unique when compared to the others.
Part Four
Finally, compare any of the more typical effigy heads with the item in figure 17 in function and in the
portrayal of a human face.

How does Gilgamesh become more human over the course of the story?

In trying to answer this question, please include your consideration of the
following questions and items:
In which ways does Gilgamesh – who is said to be “two thirds a god, one third a
man” – become more human? What do you mean by “more human”? What is your own
standard or definition of “humanity” by which you are measuring the evolution of
Gilgamesh’s humanity? What has he learned and felt and experienced in becoming more
human? Has he gained the right kind of wisdom in order to become more human?
Refer briefly to at least three specific episodes or scenes from the story to
illustrate how Gilgamesh has become more human. You should choose at least one scene
from the first half of the story (Tablets 1-6) and at least one scene from the second half of
the story (Tablets 7-12) in order to say something about Gilgamesh’s evolution as a
human being.
Finally, conclude your paper by briefly comparing the story of Gilgamesh to
another story you know (from literature, film, television, or even a song) in which a
character somehow becomes “more human” by the end of the story. Explain why these
stories are similar and/or different.
