Annotated Bibliography: Annotated Bibliography of relevant literature
Format: Please submit as a word document (not PDF) using appropriate scholarly presentation and APA referencing/citation. Length: 1,000 words Curriculum Mode: Annotated Bibliography This assessment task (A1) provides an opportunity for students to extend their beginning understanding of Discourse Analysis in preparation for applying that understanding by conducting a small discourse analysis on a therapy/research related document (or artefact) in Assessment 3. Details: For this assessment, please choose at least five (no more than seven) scholarly articles as the basis for your annotated bibliography (some can be book chapters). One article/chapter can be chosen from the Workshop 4 reading list and the others will be found by surveying the published literature on discourse analysis. Please choose a mix of articles/chapters that include both theoretical approaches (explaining/analysing Foucauldian discourse analysis) and applied approaches (examples of discourse analysis conducted in the therapy studies, or related field). The annotated bibliography of 1000 words should provide the following for each article/chapter listed: - full citation; - an evaluative summary of the article/chapter in 150 - 200 words (concise summary of the key points/findings, noting any strengths/limitations of the source/research it describes); - a brief comment on the relevance of the source for your understanding of discourse analysis. Please list your citations/annotations in alphabetical order (by author's family). You do not need to include an introductionor conclusion for this assignment.
102357 A1 Annotated bibliography (for Discourse Analysis) Advice – please refer to the Learning Guide (LG) for details of this assessment and take careful note of the listed requirements. Refer also to the marking rubric on vUWS. This assessment task aims to extend your beginning understanding of Discourse Analysis (DA) by asking you to read and annotate a mix of DA sources. You are not expected to 'evaluate' the sources from a position of expertise in DA; rather, the point is to read a variety of sources with a view to learning more about DA and to be able to say something qualitative about the sources, rather than just describing content; although you’ve been asked to do a bit of that in summarising key points. But we also want you to demonstrate what you’ve understood from the source by saying something, however briefly, about what you’ve learned from the piece/how useful it might be/what it might contribute to preparing you for conducting your own DA. Choosing your sources for A1: Choose at least five, but no more than seven, scholarly articles (some can be book chapters). One article/chapter can be chosen from the Workshop 4 essential reading list and the others will be found by surveying the published literature on discourse analysis. Include both theoretical and applied sources. The theoretical sources will be about discourse analysis (DA). They will explain DA in some way and further inform your thinking and understanding of (Foucauldian) DA. The applied sources will use discourse analysis. They will be examples of a DA conducted in the therapy studies, or related, field and will show you what a DA looks like (in this way, giving you ideas for conducting your own small discourse analysis for A3). [Note on applied sources: a feminist analysis is not the same as a discourse analysis that focuses on gender, although they might have a lot in common. Similarly, a postcolonial analysis is not the same as a discourse analysis that focuses on race/ethnicity, although they might have a lot in common.] Presentation of your annotated bibliography: You do not need to include an introduction or conclusion for this assignment. List your sources in alphabetical order (by author family name) using the full citation as a heading for each annotation. The annotation for each citation should be between 150-200 words and the total wordcount for all of the 5-7 annotations should not exceed 1000 words (excluding citation headings). For example, 5 citations at approx. 200 words; or 7 citations at approx. 150 words; or some combination thereof. Constructing the annotations: The annotation for each citation will provide an evaluative summary with 3 main elements: 1) concisely describes the key points (or arguments/findings); 2) notes strengths (& limitations, if applicable) i.e. says something specific about why the article/chapter is useful and relevant (for example: a clear and well situated secondary explanation of a more complex primary source; applies discourse analysis in a way that elucidates something about DA; provides a useful, if more extended, exemplar of how you can approach doing a DA in your own A3; explains how to use, or uses, DA to explore visual and/or spatial ‘artefacts’ (if that is what you intend to do for A3); looks at something in, or relevant to, the substantive area of psychotherapy or art therapy; etc etc). 3) includes a brief comment on the relevance of the source for your own understanding of discourse analysis (what you learnt from it).
