1 Harvard referencing

2 There are two parts to a Harvard reference
There are two parts to a Harvard reference. The in-text citation and the detailed references. In-text citations: Each time you refer to someone else’s work in your assignment, you need to include the author’s name and the date of their work within your text at the point where you discuss their ideas. This is called citing the author’s work. Plagiarised X References: Full bibliographic details for each work you have used, or cited, are given in the reference list at end of your assignment. The reference list enables people to understand what information you have cited and to help them find the original work if they wish to. The reference list contains details of all the things you have cited in your piece of work arranged alphabetically by author.

Sontag writes: (1977, p.5) “Starting with their use by the Paris police in the murderous roundup of Communards in June 1871, photographs became a useful too of modern states in the surveillance and control of their increasingly mobile populations.”

In-text citation Writing in the Guardian (2004), Eric Homberger states: Sontag dismissed Leni Reifenstahl in 1975, after the photographer had put in decades of work on her rehabilitation - all of which were ruined by the cool brilliance of Sontag's analysis of the allure of fascism.
