Student portfolios live on each students’ own domain. They show their best work from the year and include different sections of written and creative work:
1. a working definition of revolution;
2. a working definition of the humanities and the Humanities;
3. a polished revision of one of the fall projects
4. something new: creative writing of any sort or an essay — something expository, creative, original, perhaps an extension of a post or an argument or discussion, perhaps another version of one of the projects you wanted to get to, perhaps a response to the course or events on campus or a response to a reading, or … )
5. something new: review (a review or discussion of something you have seen or read or heard or visited: a lecture, performance, curated space, museum, something from sapere aude or a study trip);
6. something new: non-textual artifact (something non-textual: an image, music, soundscape, video, performance); or a description of what your non-textual something new might be;
7. the finished research paper;
8. an “about” page which provides a place of orientation and guidance for your readers and in which you may choose to explain something about your place in the course and your ideas about your portfolio.
All of which focus in some ways on the themes in the course.

On Collective Memory: Creative Destructions

By

Faculty Sponsor: Denham, Kelly, Mortensen, Multhaup, Parker

All students in the five-course interlinked memory studies course project have been given a copy of On Collective Memory by Maurice Halbwachs, the foundational text in the field of memory studies. Each week, they have carried out a creative destruction the book by conversing, interacting, and responding to the text physically, in the book itself. They have marked up the text, redacted words for effect, painted and inked and drawn in and on the pages; they have made collages, weavings, and prints in their books; stained, torn, stressed, and inscribed their ideas into and onto their books.
Students present their destroyed (or remade, or deconstructed, etc.) copies of On Collective Memory and explain their semester-long relationship with the book at the Case Symposium.
