CONTENT:
Use inline citations throughout and include a bibliography in Chicago Style format. This includes sources for any pictures you used as well as where you got your illness narrative from (blog, video, book, etc) if you didn't do an interview or use your own experience.
- Write an illness narrative about someone who suffers from the illness you are focusing on (400+ words). This can be based on an interview you conduct with a friend/relative or you can find an existing narrative to write about (blogs, youtube videos, books, podcasts, etc). You can also choose to write about your own illness experience in the first person or in the third person.
- Introduce the Experiential approach: describe the approach, its major components/themes and its value to understanding this illness.
- If you are interviewing someone, make sure you ask their permission to use their real name. Otherwise, you can pick any pseudonym.
- Makes sure to include all parts of the illness narrative from the lecture video (orientation, complicating action, evaluation, resolution, coda) and identify the type of narrative it is.
- This should read like a story but the emphasis is on the anthropological analysis of the meaning of this experience within a specific cultural context.
- Include at least two images throughout which illustrate aspects of the the illness narrative (you do not need to refer to these images unless they add to the content of the page - they are there to make the narrative itself more dynamic). You still need to cite them.
- Make sure you emphasize the anthropological perspective - after all, this is for an anthropology course!
