—Working Annotated Bibliography—

Part One:

Bibliography Anatomy

    This working bibliography serves the greater projects of researching and writing for what I currently envision as Chapter 3 of my dissertation and my final project in Eng. 726.  For the sake of having blog entries that don’t require too much scrolling and to organize my research by anthology, I have broken this bibliography into four parts, including this sketch of its anatomy.

Part Two is comprised of five essays from Reload: Rethinking

Women & Cyberculture, an anthology of critical essays and fiction.  I chose this anthology to get a sense of some of the different feminist theoretical approaches that take into account technology.  Since my study concerns feminist science fiction and technology in the classroom, cyberfeminism is an obvious area of interest.  I was drawn to this text by one essay in particular—see if you can guess which one.  J

Part Three is comprised all five of the Octavia E. Butler novels that are the primary sources for my study: Adulthood Rights, Dawn, Imago, The Parable of the Sower, and The Parable of the Talents.    

Part Four focuses on the theory and the rhetorical transformation of Gloria Anzulua and Trihn T. Minh-ha and is comprised of three short works from each theorist from Karen Foss et al’s Reading in Feminist Rhetorical Theory. The section is completed with Foss et al’s essays on the rhetorical transformations of Anzuldua and Trihn in their Feminist Rhetorical Theories.
