EN 349 Literature and the Environment Keywords Paper & Presentation Assignment Although written over the span of over 150 years, covering a wide array of geographical places and spaces, and reflecting different attitudes towards nature and the environment, the texts that we read can be connected to one another. One way to see these connections is by tracing a “Keyword” across several texts. The notion of a Keyword comes from Raymond Williams’ influential Keywords: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society (1976). Several disciplines have adapted Williams’ concept of a “Keyword” and published their own versions of his book. Keywords for Environmental Studies (ed. Joni Adamson, William A. Gleason, and David N. Pellow) is one such example. What might a Keywords for EN 349: Literature and the Environment book look like? Throughout this semester, you will work to track and analyze one keyword as it relates to the readings and discussions that we share. This project is broken down into three parts: a log, an essay and a presentation. By the end of the term you will have: • Created a log tracking your assigned keyword through readings, media, class discussions, personal experience, and current events • Written an essay providing your own definition and detailing elements of your keyword in relation to this course • Created and uploaded a multi-media presentation (PowerPoint, Prezi, Keynote, etc.) to share with the class detailing the process of tracking your keyword and summarizing your essay Due Dates: Keywords Choices: Please submit your top three choices for a keyword by the end of Week 1 (Friday at 11:59 PM). I will do my best to assign you one of your choices; if you do not submit your choices, you will be randomly assigned to a keyword (no worries – each word has the potential for a strong project). Please see the end of this document for the list of choices. Keywords Log: Log check #1 Week 6 (by Friday at 11:59 PM) Log check #2 Week 11 (by Friday at 11:59 PM) Completed Log Final Exam Week (by Friday at 11:59 PM) Essay & Presentation: You will upload your presentation during Finals Week by Friday at 11:59 PM Components: 1.) Keywords Log: You will keep a “log” throughout the semester in which you record instances of your selected Keyword that you encounter. I will collect your logs two times throughout the semester and collect the final version when you submit your essay and. This log should be a place to record usages of your keyword throughout the semester, pose questions about your term, grapple with various meanings and definitions of your word, plan and outline your paper, and begin to analyze the usages that you discover in the course readings and discussions: • Here, you should archive usages of your keyword throughout the semester, drawing on class readings and class discussion. • You may record out-of-class encounters as well: video, music, conversations, day-to-day interactions, etc. • Try to be as specific as possible. For written sources, record the specific title, author, page #, and, if possible, an exact quote where the word in being used. You should also make a couple notes about the context to help you later on. For video, songs, conversations, and so forth, try to note the date, setting, and provide some context. This will help you when it comes to writing your essay and attributing your sources! • In addition to recording a usage, it is a good idea to provide some initial thoughts (questions, connections, insights) about this usage. By “usage,” I mean the specific way in which the word is being use in the examples you find. • In your readings, you may find related terms – feel free to record these as well. For example, if your Keyword is ethics, you may wish to note instances in the reading where you encounter morality, values, or principles. • Remember, this work should occur throughout the semester, not just in the week leading up to the final presentation. 2.) Keywords Paper: The essays in Keywords for Environmental Studies show how a given term circulates within a particular knowledge community while also circulating across others. Taking this work as a model, you can think of your essay as an entry in a hypothetical book called Keywords for EN 349: Literature and the Environment, Caldwell University, Fall 2023. This is our particular knowledge community, and in your essay you should aim to show how your chosen term circulates here. You may wish to view some of the digital essays from Keywords for Environmental Studies and use them as models for your work, although your scope will, necessarily, be narrower. • Like many of the essays in Keywords for Environmental Studies, your essay may refer to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) definition of your keyword, though this is not required. You should, however, aim to present some history of the word, as well as how you see it being used in the class readings and in our discussions. • Your log can serve as notes toward this essay, giving you an extra motivation to keep tracking your keyword continuously. • Your keyword essay will be stronger if you start working on it fairly early in the semester, building it up gradually. This is not a task you can accomplish in the day or two before its due date. • Length: 6-8 pages 3.) Presentation: During the final exam period, you will upload a multimedia presentation to share with the class. Your presentation should adhere to the following: • 5-6 minutes long • Include a multi-media slideshow (PowerPoint, Prezi, Keynote, etc.) • Include some recorded voiceover narration by you. You do not need to record a video of yourself (although you certainly can if you want), but you must record your voice narrating the presentation. • Provide a definition (or a history of definitions) or your keyword, noting different usages • Draw on your logs and essay, tracing the usage of the keyword in the readings and class discussions. (You may also include usages that you noted outside of the course) • Summarize the main points of your essay Resources: You may find the following resources helpful as you work on your Keywords paper: • Oxford English Dictionary (OED): In addition to providing a definition(s) of each word, the OED also traces each word’s etymology (i.e. it’s history) – the earliest known instance of the word being written, changes in meaning over time, etc. We have a subscription to the OED through the Jennings Library; you can find it under journals and databases (or as a librarian if you need help). • Raymond Williams, Keywords: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society (1976) • keywords.nyupress.org NYU press has published a series of hybrid print-digital Keywords- inspired editions: Keywords for American Cultural Studies, Keywords for Asian American Studies, Keywords for Disability Studies, Keywords for Children’s Literature, Keywords for Environmental Studies, and Keywords for Media Studies. On this website, you can find the editors’ Introductions to each volume, a list of print entries, and the full entries for digital entries.
