Our\nclass is about research in digital humanities. To that end, we are engaged in a\nreal research question<\/a>: understanding the character\nco-occurrence in Charles Schulz\u2019s Peanuts<\/em>. It’s a question that we don’t\nknow the answer to yet; answering this question is<\/em>, in other words,\nresearch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But\nanswering this question completely depends on our knowing what others may have\nsaid on the subject prior to us. This means reading and synthesizing their work\nso we can be thoughtful in our own. Annotated bibliographies provide students\nexperience with an important step of scholarship: finding secondary criticism\nand digesting it. An annotated bibliography should provoke students to read\nsuch sources more carefully: reading for its own argument rather than for how one\ncan fit it into a paper that is due in 12 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hopefully,\nthis project will also prepare us for our class\u2019s final project, helping us\nrefine the sorts of questions that have (and haven\u2019t!) been asked about Schulz\u2019s\nstrip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Over\nthe course of the semester, we will each read five<\/strong> articles and\/or book\nchapters (hereafter referred to as “articles” for convenience’s sake)\nthat relate to our class’s research project: character co-occurrence within Peanuts<\/em>.\nAfter reading your article, you will write an annotation for it, summarizing\nits key points and especially any relevant information related to our research\nproject. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This\nassignment will be completed in two phases: a group phase and an individual\nphase. The group phase will be due on 26\nFebruary<\/strong> before class begins. The individual phase will be due on 25 March<\/strong> before class begins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Working as a group, you will identify articles, book chapters, and books about Schulz\u2019s Peanuts in the BYU Library<\/a>, including its databases<\/a> such as Art & Architecture Source<\/a>, Humanities Source<\/a>, and the others listed in this HBLL Research Guide<\/a>. You could also look into the record in newspapers using sources like Newspaper Archive<\/a> and Newspaper Source Plus<\/a>. Insofar as it is possible, it would be ideal to assemble a complete bibliography about Schulz. In other words, we want to find as many pieces of scholarship as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please\nnote that I have put some book-length works on Schulz on course reserve<\/a> in the library. You will absolutely want to include these\nbooks in your findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using Zotero<\/a>, create an entry for each article you find in our shared Zotero library<\/a>. This is the equivalent of creating a 3×5 card for that 6th<\/sup>-grade research project on pandas. If you have found the article online, there’s a good chance that Zotero can simply grab all the metadata like author and title. If you’ve found an article in a print book or on some website where Zotero can’t get the metadata, you’ll just have to type it up yourself. It shouldn’t take too long though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As\na group, identify the 25 articles or chapters that you have found that seem\nmost valuable and add them to the Annotated collection<\/a> in our Zotero library. As much as\npossible, you will want to choose 1) articles that are scholarly and 2) articles\nthat you collectively believe may have something to say about which characters\nshow up next to each other. Bear in mind that you are not likely to find an\narticle titled, \u201cCharacter Co-Occurrence in Peanuts<\/em>.\u201d But articles that\ndiscuss a single character may very well provide us with fodder for our\ninquiry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If for some strange reason, we cannot find a total of 25\narticles to read about Schulz\u2019s work, I have ideas for additional topics we can\ninvestigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a group, assign 5 articles to each of the members in the class, including me. Feel free to give me the ones that you don\u2019t want to read. Do try to ensure that everyone has approximately the same number of pages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/strong>Read the article. Quelle surprise!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Write\nan annotation for the article. The annotation should provide a summary of\nthe major arguments of the text as a whole. In addition, indicate what (if\nanything) the text has to say about character co-occurrence within the strip.\nEach annotation should be a minimum of two paragraphs<\/strong>. Once you\u2019ve\nwritten your annotation, you will add it to your Zotero entry as a Note<\/a>.\nPlease conclude each note with your name on its own line, so we can tell who\nauthored each annotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If\nyou read the article as a PDF, attach a copy of the PDF to the entry in the\nZotero bibliography. This is the equivalent of stapling the original article to\nthe 3×5 card. If you read a print article, you are not<\/em> required to\ninclude a scanned copy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Double-check that all of the\ninformation in your article\u2019s citation is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This\nassignment is worth a total of 150 points. The group phase will be worth 50\npoints, with points being distributed based on the quality of the group\u2019s\nfindings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nindividual phase is worth 100 points. Each of the articles is worth 20 points,\nwith 5 points allotted to whether the citation is completely correct and the\nother 15 points allotted to the quality of the annotation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This assignment is an update of the one that I designed for my 2019 DigHT 315 course<\/a>. That was itself an substantial update of the 2018 version<\/a>, which was itself based on my 2010 Annotated Zotero Group Bibliography<\/a>. The original assignment took inspiration from Mark Sample<\/a>\u2018s Fall 2009 assignment, and I received feedback from a number of people on the first draft of the assignment via Twitter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rationale Our class is about research in digital humanities.
