Annotated Bibliography

For our homework assignment over the weekend, our class had to find three primary sources for our Ethnography project and then write a paragraph explaining the importance on each of these sources. After some thinking and digging, I finally found three sources that I believe will be primary in my Ethnography project.


Lambla, Ken, and UNC Charlotte College of Arts and Architecture, comps. The Arts
     at UNC Charlotte 2012:13 Calendar. Charlotte: UNC Charlotte College of Arts
     and Architecture, 2012. Print.

This source is actually a calendar of musical events that was handed out to many students at the beginning of the year like a pamphlet.  This calendar has events of many types of concerts: jazz, symphony, and even wind and percussion ensembles. This calendar also had events for dance concerts, plays, and art galleries as well. Even though there are many events that occur on campus, it's surprisingly difficult to find some of these events - especially for a freshmen. This calendar has the dates, times, and locations of each event and also places the average price of the events in the front of the pamphlet. This calendar locates all of the events that the school helps organize and run on campus.


Radio Free Charlotte. UNC Charlotte, n.d. Web. 4 Nov. 2012.
     <http://radiofreecharlotte.uncc.edu/index.html>.

This is another source that the school helps organize. There is a link on 49er Express that leads any student to the website. Even though the website itself doesn't play any music, from what I'm able to see since it never plays anything, it does have information on where to listen (itunes) and when the radio is playing music. This fits the lifestyle of the students and is free for any who listen. The office is located on campus and they ask for anyone who would want to volunteer to play some music on the radio. A valuable source to anyone who wants to play the music instead of being a listener.


LightningXBlade2. Jormungand OST - Time to Attack. YouTube. Sony Pictures;
     Universal Music Group, 2005. Web. 4 Nov. 2012. <http://www.youtube.com/

This is the only primary source I've found that the school does not organize. In our school's anime club, the member sing along to the opening and closings of anime shows we watch. This gives the club a sense of community even if the singing isn't planned and the members just do it. The members only sing to the songs that are catchy and interesting like the one I've chosen. The actual version is shortened than the one I found since it's the ending for a show. Also, the members only sing a few lyrics in this one unlike other songs where members sing the entire time. The sense of community when the members do this is strong and fun. It's a way to relax and lighten our stress level.
