Paris Is Burning (1990)

Diff roles: finding relevant mages, discussing concepts, researching background, putting everything together/make slides uniform

The Final paper will be much like the voicethread however the treatment of the theory/concepts from cultural psychology should be in more detail.  Be sure that the paper clearly shows how the concepts were shown in the film. 

This paper 

must be at minimum 10-12 pages long.  (Given your presentations, it could probably be longer)

should demonstrate that concepts and their applications (from cultural psychology) are understood

should have at minimum 15 scholarly references

at least 7 of those references should not come from those used in the course.  (You can use references that were used in class but there must be additional ones)  

You may use the same sub-headings that were in the voice thread in your paper to organize it. 

You will have to do research beyond the textbook and the readings to complete the project.

The paper must be in APA format.

 

Things that should be included:

 

An introduction—describe the topic that will be addressed, the major themes etc.

Movie selected

Overview of the movie; what is the plot?

Who are the main characters? What are their demographics? (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity, religion)

What concepts (no less than three) or theories from cultural psychology will be used as the basis of your analysis?

Select the examples for the movie or TV → show the incident

Discuss the psychological concept/theory from cultural psychology that you find best explains the example.

As in the presentation, include the background research on the creator of the piece.  

For example if it is a television series who is the creator? What is their background? Do the same for a movie.  If it is based on a book, find out about the author.

Find other critiques of the media that you selected

There should be a discussion of other cultural analyses/criticisms that you have found on your media.

For example, the person whose life Fresh Off the Boat is based on (Eddie Huang) is highly critical of the show and has cut ties with the producers.

Include a complete reference list of sources used. In addition, include a list of relevant website links.

You will use at least 3 theoretical perspectives/concepts from class, the text or the readings. These must clearly link to the movie or television show.

Make sure that it is edited to sound like one voice.
