Sources for the Scholarly Conversation
HOLLIS
Searching in the Everything mode will bring up articles, both academic and non-scholarly. If you wish, you can limit your search results to peer-reviewed articles, and refine them further by language, publication date, subject, etc.
When you search, combine keywords that represent your primary source and an idea associated with the shock or controversy that it aroused. Some examples are:
- Walker AND Subtlety AND racism
- Howl AND obscen*
- "Chien Andalou" AND reception
- Mapplethorpe AND pornograph*
