project work:
climatechange -- proposal: 2 pages with
references; discusses the basic elements of climate change, and its
consequences; this is probably the most immediate and tangible
threat to society and the environment; it is very well written, and
could use subtitles to organize the themes, and of course some
pictures; overall, excellent work, important topic. A- 8/10
racismanxiety -- proposal: double
submission; titlepage, 2 pages text, and references; looking at the
anxiety caused due to racialized discrimination is a good topic, and
it needs to be explicitly linked to the concept of ethnography, and
perhaps to crisis, if it is to serve as an apocalypse topic -- as
in, for example, seeing covid19 as a moment of precaria... overall,
needs to more explicitly link to the courses. B- 7/10
abughraib -- proposal: double submission; 2
pages with subtitles, pictures, and references; this is an excellent
combination of ethnographic analysis using public documents and the
concepts of anomie and surveillance, to demonstrate how a visual
analysis can have the power of apocalyptic revelation; overall, well
organized, well written, and an excellent formulation of the
project. A+ 9/10
fire -- proposal: 2 people; four pages including
titlepage, subtitles, and references; beautiful title, and
wonderfully written, eg. 'repetition transforms emergency into
atmosphere'; the use of the concepts of habituation, witnessing, and
normalization is good; overall, the conceptual themes are cogent and
substantial, while stylistically a few pictures would help;
excellent work. A 8.5/10
internmentcamps -- proposal: 4 pages
with subtitles, pictures, and references; a comparison of japanese
and immigration camps; there are some interesting ideas, eg.
'hysteria is an element of precaria'... this makes the apocalyptic
moment tangible and threatening; overall, this is a wonderful theme,
it is excellently written, and is broad enough in scope to be
powerful in its conclusions. A+ 9/10
climateawareness -- proposal: 3 pages
with subtitles, plus web-references; this discusses climate change
fairly generally, and the use of suzuki and pelltier is good --
perhaps their autobiographies can be seen as 'oracles of the
endtimes'; some reference to precarity would help develop the
analysis more, and some pictures would add to it stylistically;
overall, good work, could be strengthened. B 7.5/10
covidpandemic -- proposal: 4 pages
including titlepage, and web-refspage; the concept of apocalyptic
governance is good, and is aptly applied to the covid shutdown (it
might apply also to other epidemics, such as swine flu, bird flu,
and of course AIDS); thematically, subtitles would help organize
themes, and some pictures would enhance it stylistically; overall,
excellent beginning. A- 8/10
greatdepression -- proposal: double
submission, 2 pages with subtitles and pictures, and a refspage;
generally, looking at how precarity influences survival behaviour
and social control is good, and linking it to the great depression
using concepts of strain and ethno-history strengthens the analysis;
overall, excellent themes, and well-written, with good use of
archival materials. A+ 9/10
