historical shift in the dominant conceptualization of time in East Asian modernity and discussing how the changes associated with this shift also
affected the conceptualization of space
We have been examining a historical shift in the dominant conceptualization of time in East Asian modernity and discussing how the changes associated
with this shift also affected the conceptualization of space. For your essay you should analyze one of the fictional stories we have read in the
light of this
shift in conceptualization of time and space.
General Instructions:
You should answer the question with reference to no more than THREE readings assigned for this class. One of those three readings will be the story
you
have chosen to analyze. You should in addition use one to two of our theoretical readings in order to help explain your literary analysis.
DO NOT do any extra research or cite sources other than those which we have read for this class. This is a reading and thought paper; it is not a
research
paper.
Note that this question contains three parts: you will need to define a dominant conceptualization of time (what is the nature of this
conceptualization and
why is it dominant?), discuss how it affected the conceptualization of space, and then show how these shifts both appear in and shape the piece of
literary
fiction you have chosen. If you attend to all three parts of the question, you will write a good essay.

The Partial Essay Draft:
The partial essay draft should consist of four parts as follows:
1. A thesis statement of one or two sentences. You may not be certain yet what your main argument is going to be, but make a first attempt at
succinctly
describing the most important point you wish to make. Try completing the following phrase: “This paper argues that…”
2. Justification of works chosen (one paragraph): Explain briefly why you chose each of the two/three works and how you expect they will fit
together. For
example: “I chose the reading by Tanaka because he shows how…”, “I chose the story by X because she shows a similar/different understanding of
time…”
3. Identify two passages from your chosen story that you will cite and discuss in your final paper. (In the final paper you may cite more than two,
but for
the purposes of the draft please cite two in full.)
3. List two questions for EACH of your two passages that you plan to use to focus your discussion of the passage (four questions in all). These
should be
questions that can be answered in the form of topic sentences for your paragraphs. Inside the paragraphs, you will develop the answers more fully.
(Note
that the questions are only for this draft stage and should not appear in your finished paper. The essay should contain definite analytical
statements which
try to answer these questions).
