The assignments on the web are intended as alternative to simply having additional reading and intended to encourage you to think about using visual materials to study history by using primary source materials that reveal the ideas of contemporaries and artistic and photographic materials that bring their lives into fuller vision. Your assignment is to write a relatively short (300-350 word essay) on the question below. Please bring your typed, double-space paper to discussion class on September 15 or16; it is due at the beginning of that class.
Select one or more images from this on-line assignment and, using the on-line text as well as relevant materials from class reading, lectures, or discussion, consider the role ascribed to humans in the technological advances presented by enthusiastic contemporaries in the period between about 1880 and 1930.
Be sure to make clear reference to the image(s) you select, but there is no need to reproduce them on your paper unless you wish to do so. |
