 For this assignment, find a scholarly article on your Week 4 short story in the ...... Library. First, complete the lecture on conducting research in the ..... Library. Next, enter the online library and find one credible, scholarly source examining the short story that was the focus of your Week 4 rough draft. Do not use popular publications, such as summaries from Masterplots or The Introduction to Literary Context, or other media that are not research oriented. Refer to this Research Guide and this video provided for this course by ...... University Online Library Services.

 Post an annotation of your source to the discussion board. Your annotation should include:

• A complete APA citation of your scholarly article
• A paragraph of summary of the key points presented in your source
• A paragraph explaining the source’s quality and how it is relevant to your analytical essay

Here is an example of an annotated APA entry (not an actual source): 

 Smith, A. (2016). Journey into the unknown. American Literature, 22(3), 4-5.

This article compares Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown” and Eudora Welty’s “A Worn Path,” discussing the protagonists’ journeys as a focal point. The article examines these two main characters and their different paths in life. Those paths led Young Goodman Brown and Phoenix Jackson into the forest on very different quests, but both were determined to take these journeys that were emotional, meaningful, and dangerous.

Smith’s article offered a fascinating perspective on the motives and outcomes of these two disparate characters and their life paths that led them into the unknown. I gained a better understanding of my character, Phoenix Jackson, by reading this article and contrasting her with Young Goodman Brown. There are several quotations and ideas I will be able to incorporate into my final draft.

Examples of Journals with Scholarly Articles:

• Studies in Short Fiction
• The Explicator
• Modern Fiction Studies
• Language and Literature
• Critique
• Modern Language Notes
• Nineteenth-Century Fiction

Your replies to classmates should be at least a paragraph in length and made with an eye to expand, clarify, defend, and/or refine their thoughts. Consider asking questions to further meaningful conversation. Participation must be completed by the end of the week to earn credit.

Fictional Analysis: An Annotated Bibliography

Coëgnarts, M. (2015). Embodied Cognition and Cinema: The Sensory-Motor Grounding of Abstract Meaning in Film (Doctoral dissertation, Universiteit Antwerpen (Belgium)).

This article proposes an interdisciplinary approach that aims to examine how one particular strand of embodiment within cognitive science, namely the cognitive unconscious dimension, can be integrated within cognitive film studies. Based on the theoretical framework of cognitive linguistics, in particular Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) as advocated by Lakoff and Johnson and their followers, the article examines how there could be a connection between human mechanisms of thought that are grounded in bodily patterns of sensory-motor experience and activity (or “image schemas” as Lakoff and Johnson have called them), and, on the other hand, the construal of higher meaning in cinema such as time, cognition, morality among others.

The structure of article is twofold. In the first section, the article describes the methodology and discusses some of the theoretical implications of applying CMT to the cinema. In the second section, the article considers its application to three distinctive but interrelating case-studies of abstract meaning. Firstly, Coëgnarts, demonstrates how the abstract perceptual states of characters can be represented cinematically via audio-visual expressions of metaphors related to human knowledge of touching and physical manipulation.  Secondly, he shows how the cinematic and metaphorical model of characters’ perception, as outlined in the previous part, in turn, can be further mapped onto the characters’ temporal experience. Thirdly, he continues this line of thought by considering the implications of extending perception to the study of moral understanding in the film. More specifically, I will develop a perceptual model of embodied ethics in which the perception of the character facilitates the viewer's moral (dis)approval of a character. In the literature, embodied cognition is often presented as an alternative or a reaction to the standard view of cognitive science. Thereby authors have frequently used the method of contrast to delineate its central themes.

PROFESSOR COMENTS:

 I'm a little confused, ...............  This is certainly an impressive source, but what connection does it have to any of the stories we've read?  How will you use this source in your final paper?
