Students will write a Research Paper on Fashion and/as Culture in Italy. This is simply a broad subject area. When beginning to write the paper, students will need to narrow their investigation and choose their specific topic within the broad subject area. For example:
Based on the art and fashion’s long-standing relationship, explore the influence of the great Italian Art on the Italian men’s and women’s way of dressing.
Considering Fashion a mirror of our times, explore how Italian Fashion reflects the way of life of the Italians;
Examine the political, economic and industrial factors contributing to the creation of the Italian fashion system.
Compare and contrast the development of Italian Fashion with fashion from another country.
The Outline and First Draft (about 1200 words) consists of an outline and a rough copy of the paper that students will continue to shape, edit and strengthen after it is submitted. The draft must include a title, a clear thesis statement, a Work Cited list, and a Bibliography.
Students are required to locate independently and use at least 2 sources relevant to their proposed research paper topic (documentaries, books, articles, etc.) One of those 2 sources must be a peer-reviewed article. The course materials (assigned readings, clips, etc.) can also be used for the research paper, but they cannot replace the 2 sources mentioned above.
I also need citations (MLA format) and a bibliography for my paper.
