Components of the Assignment: Reading 1: Carol Duncan and Allan Wallach, “The Universal Survey Museum,” Art History 3 no. 4 (1980): 448-469. (Quercus) Reading 2: Dana Arnold, chapter 3, “Presenting Art History,” in Art History: A Very Short Introduction. Visit to the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto Description of the Assignment: In your essay, you will 1) apply Duncan and Wallach’s arguments to the architecture and spatial arrangement of the Art Gallery of Ontario. 2) evaluate 2 specific installations (see list below) in the museum as evidence of the AGO’s responsiveness to racial/national/indigenous/feminist/non-Western critiques of the “universal museum” described in Duncan &Wallach’s essay. A successful essay will integrate the two parts of the assignment. For background on Canada’s history, with reference to its indigenous peoples, and efforts to address historical injustices, see: https://www(dot)cbc(dot)ca/news/entertainment/museums-review-indigenous-representation-1.5101817 About the AGO: Founded in 1900, the AGO is a municipal art gallery, funded with public and private funds. Until recently, its collections focused on European and North American art (a survey of “western” art). Ancient art, the arts of Asia, Africa, Latin American, and Australia were not part of its collections for decades. The AGO has been through several building phases, the last of which saw a new façade, additions to the entrance sequence, and a large addition to the back adding an upper floor by Frank Gehry (2008). An important part of the original building is visible inside in the Walker Court, where Frank Gehry also made a visible intervention. Essay Part 1: The Ritual of the AGO. In this part of the essay, evaluate the AGO as an example of a universal survey museum, as analyzed by D & W. Evaluate the kind of ritual the AGO creates for the viewer by means of the architecture and objects installed in its entrance sequence. For Part 1 Analysis of the following elements is required: a) Entrance space with Michael Snow sculpture b) Walker Court and c) Gehry Staircase Spaces (see map of Ground Floor for the spaces in pink). Essay Part 2: What is the AGO’s subject position? In this part of the essay evaluate the AGO’s participation in and redress of implicit ideological positions in specific installations in the museum (see list below) D & W describe the formation of the museum – which was implicitly white, male, and Western – and the enactment of a civilizing process through the history of art. In Part 2, consider whether the AGO is a universal survey museum and whether it has reconsidered the white/western/male narrative characteristic of that museum type’s history. Look for those exclusions, and new inclusions, with attention to how they are presented in 2 of these works of art or galleries: For part 2, analysis of 2 of the following 6 installations is required: 1. Magical and Talismanic Art in Ethiopia A small one-room temporary exhibition of “medieval art” from Ethiopia (listen to the 5-minute video of a discussion by curators) 2. Gallery 136 “Europe’s Dilemma” (modern art). Who is represented in this gallery? Inclusions and exclusions? 3. Gallery 115 Bronze Crucifix by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1650s) and three photographs by Rebecca Belmore (contemporary), an artist of indigenous descent. 4. Gallery 126 “Canadian Art of the early 1900s”: Specifically Emily Carr, Church in Yuquot Village (1929) and Sonny Assu, Re-Invaders: Digital Intervention of an Emily Carr Painting (2014). 5. Gallery 234 (2nd floor): “Indigenous (Canadian) art II”: Specifically: Kent Monkman The Academy (2008) 6. Gallery 227 Esmaa Mohamoud, A Seat Above the Table (2018) These spaces are marked in green on the map Installations #3-#5 are newly acquired works by indigenous artists. The arts of the indigenous peoples of this land were collected by the Royal Ontario Museum for their “ethnographic” collections (alongside natural history specimens), rather than by the AGO, an “art museum”. The AGO’s collections were primarily European and North American painting until relatively recently, when new geographical regions and the arts of the indigenous peoples of Canada began to be actively collected. For context about the indigenous peoples of Canada and the Truth and Reconciliation Committee’s 2015 articles that inform the museum’s installations see: https://www(dot)thecanadianencyclopedia(dot)ca/en/article/aboriginal-people https://www(dot)cbc(dot)ca/news/entertainment/museums-review-indigenous-representation-1.5101817 https://en(dot)wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/Truth_and_Reconciliation_Commission_of_Canada How to proceed: READ the Duncan & Wallace essay carefully, taking notes and summarizing its main arguments for yourself. You might write up a page or two of principal points just about the article before turning to the AGO part of the project. READ Chapter 3 of Dana Arnold’s Art History: Very Short Introduction, which concentrates on the institutions of art history, including museums. Because she discusses the history of museums and some contemporary examples, it will help you formulate questions about the AGO. Jot down the questions that you would want to answer at the AGO. Arnold’s chapter makes one aware of the significance of when a museum was founded; what its goals might have been at the time; how its collections come into being. This isn’t a research project — you are not expected to answer these questions about the AGO. And you are not allowed to use any research materials -– base your essay entirely on the museum itself. STUDY THE PLAN (see PDF in Quercus Module) Before visiting the museum itself in person study the plan of the museum that is also online: https://ago(dot)ca/visit/gallery-map. Analyze it. How much space is given to European art, Canadian art, First Nations art, African art, Latin American art, Asian art. How does the AGO comply with the museum types discussed by Duncan and Wallach?

3.2a Writing a hypothesis (10 pts) For example, a comparison of children of various ages may yield similar results. This would be one group to reapply the idea out of the many many others. Please write 5 individual hypotheses using the 3 part A, B, and C hypothesis model for each to propose how 5 different age groups of children may react with frustration. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. ________________________________________3.2b Analysis Of A Study (10 pts) This section calls into question rote memory practice and active participation. It is to apply the idea of cultural influence on thoughts. This is also related to a biological aspect of age and time related ideas such as diet, exercise, rest time. These are biological approaches regarding medical anthropology about the health and happiness of individuals throughout their lives. This is learned by example and also the practice of the scientific method. In this case, qualitative analysis is used to direct the collection of quantitative data. Watch and also write an i123a on the video.Keith Chen.Could Your Language affect your ability to save.TED. The note can help you to gather thoughts as well get you points for adding to your video compilation which is turned in later in the semester. 1. (5 lines 2 pts) Write how a three part A, B, C hypothesis may look for Keith Chen’s observations. 2. (5 lines 2 pts) Write about what ways Keith Chen’s data collection is based on qualitative methods. 3. (5 lines 2 pts) Write about what ways Keith Chen’s data collection is based on quantitative data. 4. (5 lines 2 pts) Write things which could be tested with the same groups used by Keith Chen which are useful which would show long term health consequences. 5. (5 lines 2 pts) Describe briefly based on Chen’s work in economics that Bio-culture overlap and how ideologies reinforce behaviors.

Overview There are many types of auctions, each with strengths and weaknesses at uncovering the real price or value of an item. Auctions are widely used in finance, e-commerce, and e-games. They are also widely used to generate revenue for not-for-profit organizations. The following video describes auctions as price discovery mechanisms: The Ideal Auction(https://www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=4kWuxfVbIaU) Use the video on auctions and at least three academic or high-quality business publications (see acceptable types below) to compare and contrast English auctions and Dutch auctions, and sealed-bid first-price auctions and Vickery auctions. Acceptable Types of Publications A high-quality, professional business publication is one that is primarily directed at reporting or analyzing the workings of the business. Examples are the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and Reuters. Avoid general news publications such as USA Today, the Washington Post, and the New York Times. Please do not rely on Wikipedia, Investopedia, or similar websites as references Instructions Address the following questions in 3-5 pages: 1.) Compare and contrast how each of the following uncovers value: English and Dutch auctions. Sealed-bid first-price auctions and Vickery auctions. 2. Compare and contrast surge pricing and congestion pricing. Give an example of each currently in use. 3. Identify three examples of auctions used in finance, e-commerce, and/or e-games. Explain the following in-depth: *The need for an auction to uncover value in the product or service. *How the type of auction used to uncover the value of the product or service is better at uncovering value than other types of auctions. 4.) What are the advantages or disadvantages of auctions as revenue generators for not-for-profit organizations? 5.) Suggest ways in which a for-profit company, such as the company for which you work or a company for which you aspire to work, can use auctions or dynamic pricing to better uncover value and increase revenue.

Essay #4: Comedy, the first person, & empathy   English 110 Background: In this unit, we’ll watch two comedy specials that function as monologues and soliloquys: Hannah Gadsby’s “Nanette” and Hasan Minhaj’s “Homecoming King.” Both of these pieces are like first-person essays, or like memoir, combined with an artistic, deliberate visual performance. These comics use their comedy as a way to discuss difficult issues, like homophobia, sexual assault, racism, and class. We’ll also read critical essays on first-person writing itself, and consider how these theories can help us understand these comics’ messages. Every choice the comic makes—what words they choose, their punchlines and repetition, their eye contact, their movement, their gestures—are all a part of their message. The way they tell their story is as important as the story itself. Their first-person narrative and performance help us, the audience, feel empathy for the speaker in different ways, and help us accept difficult issues that we might not accept otherwise. Learning Goals: Your goal for this essay is to expand your knowledge of close reading of literary elements (essay #1), analysis of broader themes and structures (essay #2), integrating a real-world lens (essay #3), and combine all of these skills into one coherent, analytical argument.   The task: Choose one of the comedians from this unit, and then write a 1,500-word essay answering the following questions:

1. What is the message of this monologue/soliloquy?
2. How does their form of the monologue/soliloquy help the reader to feel empathy and accept this difficult idea?

  How to do it: More detail You will be considering how the comedians in this unit use first-person narration to convey their message. Remember to analyze means to break down. You should treat your chosen monologue/soliloquy the way you would any of the pieces we’ve read this semester, and consider how the different tools the comic uses come together to create meaning.   For your thesis: This is another way of asking about the theme of the piece! But in this case, you’re specifically considering the relationship between how they tell their first-person story, empathy, and their message.   For your body paragraphs: Consider the tools the comics use/the elements of the comedy routine, both verbal and visual (specifically, metaphors and similes, structure, pacing, word choice, tone, posture, facial expressions, visual elements, gestures, etc.) and how each allows us to develop empathy and connect with the speaker in order to accept their idea. Audience: Consider your reader as someone not in our class. They will need context and explanation for who your comic is, what their special is about, and any key terms you’re using. Outside Source Requirement: For this essay, please integrate at least one of the critical sources on first-person narratives we discuss in class/I provide for you to help support your argument about the comic’s message. Your source should be integrated in a meaningful way, rather than just thrown in as a single quote. (more on next page) Need help?

All ideas must be your own. Our class time will help you generate your own ideas! You must write your paper yourself. Consulting sources that specifically discuss the comic, in physical print or online, will be considered cheating unless it is properly and judiciously documented.

1.A useful initial step in analyzing any movie is to distinguish an individual scene’s content from its form. Try to first identify a scene’s subject matter: What is this scene about? What happens? Once you have established that content, you should consider how that content was expressed. What was the mood of the scene? What do you understand about each character’s state of mind? How did you perceive and interpret each moment? Did that understanding shift at any point? Once you know what happened and how you felt about it, search the scene for those formal elements that influenced your interpretation and experience. The combination and interplay of multiple formal elements that you seek is the cinematic language that movies employ to communicate with the viewer.（20points） 2.Do any narrative or visual patterns recur a sufficient number of times to suggest a structural element in themselves? If so, what are these patterns? Do they help you determine the meaning of the film? （20points） 3.Do you notice anything particular about the movie’s presentation of cinematic space—what you see on the screen? Lots of landscapes or close-ups? Moving or static camera? （10points） 4.Does the director manipulate our experience of time? Is this condensing, slowing, speeding, repeating, or reordering of time simply practical (as in removing insignificant events), or is it expressive? If it is expressive, just what does it express? （20points） 5.Does the director’s use of lighting help to create meaning? If so, how? （10points） 6.Do you identify with the camera lens? What does the director compel you to see? What is left to your imagination? What does the director leave out altogether? In the end, besides showing you the action, how does the director’s use of the camera help to create the movie’s meaning? （20points）

Kindly use this example. Policy Brief Infectious Diseases, Tuberculosis in India From: Secretary of Health, India To: Minister of Finance, India Introduction: 400,000 Indians die each year from TB. It is the leading cause of death in the ages 15-45 and has the greatest affect on the poverty stricken regions. Several risk factors for TB are HIV, lack of knowledge, urban congestion and pollution, barriers in health care, and cultural differences. TB causes large economic losses, financial burdens to poor families, losses in education, and even familial rejection of infected women. To address TB we must promote DOT in the poorest sectors to improve knowledge and treatment, ensure efficient technology for diagnosis, and target HIV prevalent areas for proper treatment for co-infected patients.
