Response Paper I
Due: Friday, March 13, by midnight, to CourseWorks > Assignments
Format: 4–6 pages, double spaced
Assignment: Limiting yourself to the texts we’ve read so far, please argue for/against a specific answer to one of the following questions:
- What does it mean to love?
- Is Socrates a good lover?
- Love—utopic or apocalyptic?
- Is liberation erotic?
- t4t?
The best papers will
- focus on a single aspect of an answer that the student is genuinely interested in;
- clearly state and vigorously defend an arguable thesis;
- be accessible to a typical undergraduate student who has not taken our class;
- have an opinion and speak in the student’s own voice; and
- go beyond our discussions in a way insightful to the rest of the class.
