Paper Proposal: Vulgar Eroticism & White Photographs

After the discussion, I might need to come back to the same writer for this paper.

General paper request:

The final assignment can be a written paper or a creative photographic project. If you choose to write a paper, you can write on your personal experience visiting a photographic exhibition (The review must use the skills that you have learned in class to describe and critically analyze photographic works), or on any photography-related subject (a photographer you are interested in, a photo-based art movement, or the use of photography in your own field, for example). If you are reviewing a gallery exhibition, you must include an analysis of at least 3-5 specific photographic works. And, if you are writing a more formal paper, you must include (and properly cite) at least 5 primary sources and other secondary sources. Do not use Wikipedia, online encyclopedias, or similar “general” web sites. You must include peer-reviewed articles from sources such as JSTOR. The final paper must be at least 4-5 pages (approximately 1,500 words and no lower than 1,200 words excluding the title, your name, bibliography, etc), and properly structured in MLA or APA format.

Proposal requirement:

The text should have been separated into five sections using APA level 1 heading: Research Topic, Rationale for the Research, Methodology, Deliverables, and References.

The purpose of a proposal is to inform the decision maker about:

1. the precise research topic being proposed;

2. the reason why you want to conduct the research (in this case, it is about your desire; however, in a professional setting, it would be about the benefit to the organization);

3. the manner in which you propose to study the proposed research topic;

4. the deliverables

5. references that empower the decision maker to find and review the sources for your ideas and data.
