Handouts for Week 1

 

Week 2

  • Review of concepts, and questions for examining Kristof 

  • "When Did Girls Start Wearing Pink?" suggests the importance of context. It takes a look at how color and dress are used in the construction of gender norms. The text begins with a picture of FDR wearing a dress as an infant, and points out that for centuries young boys wore dresses. It also looks at the way pink only recently became associated with femininity.

  • Problems with context in a story about police training in San Diego

 

Abu-Lugodh Questions

  • Read Abu-Logodh's "The Muslim Woman" and  a) provide a brief summary of her main points, and b) your reaction to one of these points. 
  • What kind of audience is AL writing for? How do you know? 
  • What genre is she writing in? What makes you think this? 
  • In the first paragraph she uses the word “we” many times. Who is this “we”?  How does AL’s use of “us” and “them” contrast with the way Haydar invites us to think about the relationship between young Muslims like herself, and other Americans? 
  • What are some differences you notice between AL and Haydar?
