Seminar classes
This week me and my group had a chance to participate in extra classes devoted to writing process and content analysis. It's been a great honor to be taught by our special guest Tiffany Debicka, who came to us from United States. Although I already started writing my BA papers, thanks to these lessons, I've learnt some useful techniques which help me look at my work in a different way. Now I know, my paper is kind of messy and lacking coherence. I suppose this is all because I never really cared about planning my main points! I just put some ideas down and didn't bother about connecting them in a clear way. Even though I need to revise it all and make some corrections, I do not regret it, because thanks to what I've learnt, my BA paper will be better. I would like to express my gratitude to Tiffany for her excellent advice!

OdpowiedzUsuńBy the way, Agnieszka Budzynska has found a book for you - she writes about it in her blog, I quote:
On a side note, while googling books on film theory that might be useful in my research I have come across a book that immediately made me think of Magda’s B.A.
Celluloid Indians: Native Americans and Film: Neva Jacquelyn
"This is a seminal study of how Native Americans have been portrayed in film since the start of the film industry in this country. . . . This is much more than a book for film buffs; it's about how stereotypes of Native Americans were created. As the book treats the evolution of film images of Native Americans, the reader may begin to appreciate it as a history of how white people have dealt with Native Americans, including how they have created popular stereotypes of them. . . . An elegantly thoughtful book."—Kliatt
