Please provide as much info as possible about any references you come across - I will, if need be, convert things to correct MLA format (once I get functional again - wisdom teeth out tomorrow!)
If you are having problems re: finding resources about a specific theme/topic, post a comment, and hopefully I, or one of your fellow students, will come up with some for you.
You may also use this blog to discuss any issues related to CAST 1000....Canadian studies... the Olympics.... whatever!
Oh, and the 7 p.m. seminar group has expressed interest in holding one of our meetings in Trent's teepee, which is entirely doable .... will be booking that for a week in March... if you are in the 6 p.m. group and have an opinion about holding a class in there (either way) please let me know, either in a comment or by emailing me directly @ sleeplessinwherever@hotmail.com. Also, I have saved copies of each of the following articles, so if you have any trouble finding them through jstor, email me and I will forward via email.

Formatting is not quite right, thanks to Blogger - but I will, if there are enough to warrant it, do up a proper Works Cited document and make it available to anyone that wants it (so that you can cut and paste the ones you need from it to your papers).
I see that there are quite a few changes to MLA style, according to the https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/11/which I typically use to check formats - urls are no longer required, for example - and it DOES in fact, include the word web in electronic journal listings (ick!).
To check out citation guidelines for movies and films, visit this page in the Owl @ Purdue site. Please note that if you do get your film(s) from the NFB site, I would like the url included even though MLA citation no longer requires it.
hey, I found a really good sources for the first topic. To better understand the reflexive mode try:
ReplyDeleteNicholas, Bill. Modes of Documentary. 2001.

sorry the website didn't work, it's

Thanks, Steph - that is definitely likely to help others.
ReplyDeleteOMG i found that one too! crazy, i was also wondering i am studying different kinds of bias in my philosophy class, you think i could use the ones i studied and put my text book as one of my references?
ReplyDeletehey guys, this one is similar to the one that Steph posted, but i found it helpful as well.

Casey, that would be fine... textbooks are acceptable references.
ReplyDeleteHi guys, it's gabby.
ReplyDeleteI found a good resource on topcat that talks about the ins and outs of new documentaries including the narrative voices!
Enjoy- it's an online one haha.
Bruzzi, Stella. New documentary: a critical introduction. 2006.

Hey its Kayla!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure about anyone else, but I am struggling to find good sources for this paper.
I did find this article about biases and how they effect what people are reading or watching.

These are some sources I found that may help others with regards to French Canadian Identity (for the second essay topic). The first is ‘‘Small Peoples’’: The Existential Uncertainty of Ethnonational Communities by Uriel Abulof. The second is Contesting the Nation: Reasonable Accommodation in Rural Quebec by Tim Nieguth and Aurélie Lacassagne.

For the first question, we're asked to summarize all four modes but do we still do that if the documentaries we chose don't cover all four modes? This seems like it was weird up the organization of the essay so i'm just wondering if I need to add the paragraph on interactive mode when neither documentary is interactive. I could be totally wrong about it making it weird, that's just my thinking!
