18 Aug For this final assignment you will choose one artistic genre

For this final assignment you will choose one artistic genre (visual, musical, or culinary arts) and write a paper of at least 2,500 words (including notes and bibliography) discussing how these arts reflected Mexican society from ancient times to the present. You must include trends from each of the six modules (Pre-Hispanic, New Spain, late colonial and early republic, Porfiriato and Revolution, mid-twentieth century, contemporary). You must also include primary sources from at least four of the six periods (see a short list of English translations at the end).To answer this question fully, you must briefly summarize social divisions of race, class, and gender in each period, and describe how art reflected or sought to bridge those divides. As with all argumentative papers, you must include a thesis statement, summarizing in one sentence (preferably the last sentence of your introductory paragraph) the entire argument of your paper. Please italicize or underline the thesis as an aid to both the grader and yourself. Note that this final project is due on Quercus 12 hours later than the previous papers, Monday morning at 11 instead of Sunday night at 11.Regardless of the topic you choose, you will need to do some online research in addition to the regular course readings. To help you get started, here are some useful sources on the culinary arts:Pineda, Encarnación. Encarnación’s Kitchen: Mexican Recipes from Nineteenth-Century California. Translated by Dan Strehl. Berkeley: University of California Press, 2003.https://search.library.utoronto.ca/details?8840104Links to an external site.If you read Spanish, here are some links to digitized Mexican cookbooks:https://digital.utsa.edu/digital/custom/mexicancookbooks (Links to an external site.)Some translated lyrics from lewd songs prohibited by the Mexican Inquisition are available as a document on Quercus.There are now countless sources on Mexico visual arts available online.

Bibliographies and footnotes or endnotes should follow the latest version of Chicago Manual of Style. Note the use of short citations for all notes. The Chicago Manual includes multiple versions, some of which ask you to spell out the complete citation, including publication information, the first time a source is referenced in the notes, but for this class, just use the last name, short title, and page numbers if any. Here are some common examples:BibliographyBuffington, Robert, and Jesus Osciel Salazar. “José Guadalupe Posada and Visual Culture in Porfirian Mexico.” In Oxford Research Encyclopedias: Latin American History, edited by William H.
