Remember: This is а rоugh drаft аnd will need revisiоn tо reach all the goals listed below. Consider this exercise a chance to get all of your ideas down on the page which will put you in a great position to reorganize and revise your main ideas for your final draft. Purpose: This essay’s aim is cultural critique. By culture, we are referring to American culture and Americanness (however you may define that), and by critique, this assignment refers to analysis or critical judgement. You have chosen a specific text (music video or commercial) that addresses notions of America/Americanness directly and you will make a claim about how those notions are developed through a combination of word and image, how that reflects certain cultural understandings of America and Americanness, and the significance of that connection. Description: Using class discussions, quizzes and optional office hours meetings with me as guides, identify and describe the definition of American or Americanness offered by your chosen text. Then, consider the following questions: What specific aspect(s) of Americanness does my text touch on that I want to focus on? Why is this significant to American culture at large? Where does this specific claim lead me to direct my research? How can my argument and research help me start to make connections to larger issues of identity in American culture and my own life? We are asking “so what”: why does the specific aspect of Americanness you have chosen to analyze help us understand the text, identity, and how they are reflected in American culture in a new or interesting way?
