Psychoanalytic, Marxist and Feminist Criticism
+2000 words, MLA Format, Double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point font. All citations must use parenthetical citation according to the MLA 8th ed. Include a “Works Cited” page, as well.
1. Choose any text or texts (a novel, a film, a series of advertisements, a cartoon, a genre of music, etc.) and apply Psychoanalytic, Marxist and Feminist Criticism. Your goal is to make an argument as to what your chosen text/s can mean from these three different “lenses.”
2. You can analyze a relatively straightforward piece of popular culture or a complex piece of art. You can analyze the NFL, children’s books, beer ads or War and Peace. All of these are examples of “texts” because they are cultural productions. In a literary studies course, we analyze poems, short stories, novels, plays, and films.
3. It does not matter to me what text you choose. Make sure you choose a text with which you are extremely familiar.
4. Again, choose one text or a series of texts and apply the three theories we’ve studied so far. Argue what the text means from these three different lenses. Be objective. Save those earned observations and opinions for your conclusion paragraph. Disney films are perfect texts for this kind of thing if you are confused or if this is outside your comfort zone.
Recap:
Choose one text or a series of texts, and read it/them from a Psychoanalytic, Marxist, and Feminist lens. You are making an argument about what the text means from these three different perspectives. In short, what would a Psychoanalytic critic argue, what would a Marxist critic argue, and what would a Feminist critic argue about your chosen text/s?

VISUAL ANALYSIS
Major Paper 1: Visual Analysis
Assignment & Purpose
Write an essay that analyzes the rhetoric of visual arguments (paintings, photographs, advertisements, political cartoons, etc.). Your overall goal in this paper is to construct and support a thesis that evaluates the quality of the arguments being made in your piece/s of visual rhetoric (how visual images communicate messages).
In order to do this, your paper should place the visual arguments in a context for your intended readers, identify the audiences being targeted, and identify the claims made. Most importantly though, you should explain how those claims are “appealing” to the audience, focusing on why the appeals in the argument are or are not persuasive and why that might be interesting or unusual. As you work on this assignment, make sure that you are going beyond merely summarizing the obvious in the imagery, but instead analyze and interpret the deeper meaning that the visual piece is trying to convey.
The purpose of this assignment is to help you practice the basics of analysis in a creative way by exploring images which exhibit complexity and rhetorical purpose. In writing this essay, you will be more aware of the cultural, social, and political influences of visual sources. This assignment, ideally, will allow you to explore the implications of visuals through design, symbolism, cultural implications, social critique, etc.
Requirements
⦁ MLA format (heading, header, double spaced, etc.) Must have Works Cited where you cite your visual
⦁ Professional Third Person Voice
⦁ Academic writing style
⦁ Analytical and Argumentative Thesis Statement
⦁ Clear, interesting, and fleshed out analysis over a visual
⦁ Clear Organization
⦁ 1000-1250 words
Course Student Learning Outcomes
⦁ Demonstrate critical thinking standards as they engage in analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of visual sources in order to explore patterns and contradictions among images and present the complexity of multiple interpretations and implications.
⦁ Write in a style that clearly communicates meaning, builds credibility, and offers fresh insights.
Evaluation Criteria
See Grading Rubric on class website
The following categories determine the grade for each submitted paper: Meets Assignment, Introduction, Thesis, Focus on Thesis, Content, Analysis, Organization, Audience, Closing, Format, and Mechanics. Not all of these elements are weighted the same, but all are part of the final grade for your paper. The most important aspect of any paper in this class is critical thinking, which you reveal throughout the essay (Thesis, Content, Analysis, Organization, etc.)

rhetoric, argument, and persuasive communication,
Teachers insturctions : For this introductory assignment, please write about a time when you had to be convincing. Much of this course will discuss aspects of rhetoric, argument, and persuasive communication, so this personal insight connects to our larger subject area.
For the writing itself, compose a 300-500 word piece that discusses a moment when you had to prove your case in some way. Perhaps it was interviewing for a job; maybe it was lobbying your parent for something you wanted; maybe it was stating your perspective on a difficult situation; or an attempt, through communication, to mediate or correct some wrong. What strategies did your use? How did you establish your credibility? What was important to know about your listener/audience? What was the result of your efforts? Did you learn anything through this experience?
