Paper #2: Analyzing a Visual Text for Messages about Gender and/or Racial Identity Do not exceed 25% of similarity on Turnitin Instructions: Write a paper in which you engage in a close textual analysis of a visual text such as a TV series, film, music video, political ad or series of ads, commercial advertisement, etc.
The purpose of your close textual analysis is to develop a paper that thoroughly answers this question: What messages or ideas about gender or racial/ethnic identity are embedded within this text beyond the most obvious stated, intended messages? For the purposes of this assignment, we are referring to these visual media as "visual texts" so as to emphasize that it is necessary to "read into" them in order to develop an intelligent, original analysis. Quite often, when a writer/producer/artist/etc. creates something, they embed ideas within it beyond the most obvious elements of the text. These ideas are sometimes intentionally placed so as to add more complex or nuanced meaning. · In some cases, these messages/ideas are intentionally placed so as to provoke thought by the viewer. · In some situations, the creator did not necessarily intend for an implied message/idea to be displayed, but they unconsciously included something that reflects messages/ideas they take for granted or those that are held by many within the society.
To engage in a true close textual analysis, you must be able to find these sub-textual messages within the visual text chosen. In other words, you are looking for meaning that is not directly stated. It may be somewhat "hidden" or might be only implied. To help you get started in your analysis, look for details within the plot, the portrayal of characters, dialogue, sound and visual cues, and/or even framing preferences that might send messages about gender. For this assignment, add additional research beyond viewing your chosen visual text itself and reading.
You must develop your paper based on your own ideas and observations (informed by the readings, text, visuals and class discussions) and support your analysis of the visual text. Therefore, you should choose a visual text about which you feel you can develop an intelligent analysis. Since this is an analysis of a visual text and y ou are required to include some info from one of the assigned essays from Rereading America to support your analysis of the visual text. · This paper must adhere to MLA style guidelines.
Information about this style guide and your academic pathway is listed on the syllabus. · Y ou will need to properly cite both your primary source (the visual text) and the secondary source (the essay) in order to avoid plagiarism. · This paper must be at least 750 words long. This generally equals at least 3 complete pages. Do not exceed 4 pages. If you do not meet the minimum length requirement, you will not earn a passing grade on the paper · Make sure to upload each assignment as a Word document (.doc or .docx) in the Assignments tool within the Assessments tab above.
