critical-analysis-paper-dance-on-screen-1

Thoughtfully choose two scenes (from a movie, two music videos, two ads, etc) in which dance is central. Analyze the dance contained within the film/music video through a sociocultural and historical lens. Make a clear, incisive argument as to how the dancing contained within the film/music video celebrates/participates in or subverts/challenges a hegemonic ideology. For example, you could discuss gender binaries, heteronormativity, racial stereotypes, gender stereotypes (males as the stronger sex, women as sex objects), consumerism, or any other ideology that is common/dominant in U.S. culture. Your thesis should be a well-written sentence that argues whether and how the hegemonic ideology is either contested or propagated through your chosen dance on screen, and why this is important to analyze.

In your introduction, give some historical examples that support the fact that the chosen ideology is in fact hegemonic. If your ideology is black racial stereotypes, for example, you might mention black face minstrelsy, historic examples of the Jezebel, Sapphire, Uncle Tom, or Sarah Baartman and Josephine Baker as examples of black exoticism. Then, using rich movement description, analyze the dance as well as the movement of the camera in two specific scenes in your chosen film. What do the movements look like? What metaphors or narratives do the movements convey? How are the movements in conversation with your chosen hegemonic ideology? What is the deeper meaning and purpose of the dancing, beyond the surface level narrative that encompasses the dance? Include at least two theoretical concepts from class in your analysis. For example: the male gaze, fetishism, liminality, appropriation/borrowing, whitewashing, the booty video formula, etc. These concepts should be used to DEEPEN your analysis.

Use the dance piece itself as one of the primary texts for your paper. Choose and unpack two specific scenes where dance is central. GO DEEP. Don’t try to tell the whole history of racism or the whole biography of the choreographer in your paper. Focus on the deconstruction and analysis of movement in the music video/film. You should cite at least two scholarly sources from outside research, in addition to two sources from class and the dance “text” (video/film) you are analyzing. Websites DO NOT COUNT as scholarly sources. You may use websites to supplement your research, but the bulk of your research should come from scholarly sources such as books or journal articles. Please include a separate works cited page, in MLA format.

a-monkey-is-controlling-a-robot

For this assignment, you’ll watch a TED Talk that explores the use of robots to gain motor function, and think about how this applies to our topics this week.

Successful completion of this activity meets Module Outcome 4.

Watch the TED Talk by Miguel Nicolelis – A monkey that controls a robot with its thoughts. No, really. (Links to an external site.) [Video file: 14:55 mins]. Retrieved from: https://www.ted.com/talks/miguel_nicolelis_a_monkey_that_controls_a_robot_with_its_thoughts_no_really

Questions to answer

Now, thoughtfully answer the following questions, thinking about the current views regarding primary motor cortex function and the evidence upon which it’s based.

What were your thoughts about the TED Talk? What did you learn that surprised or interested you the most?

What sorts of brain-computer interfaces do you envision for the future? What types of ethical problems might arise due to this and how can they be solved? As part of your answer, explain the role of different sensorimotor structures and functions.

unit-2-individual-project-6

Suppose that there are two products: clothing and soda. Both Brazil and the United States produce each product. Brazil can produce 100,000 units of clothing per year and 50,000 cans of soda. The United States can produce 65,000 units of clothing per year and 250,000 cans of soda. Assume that costs remain constant. For this example, assume that the production possibility frontier (PPF) is a straight line for each country because no other data points are available or provided. Include a PPF graph for each country in your paper. Chapter 5 of the Suranovic text is a good reference for this task.

Complete the following:

  • What would be the production possibility frontiers for Brazil and the United States?
  • Without trade, the United States produces AND CONSUMES 32,500 units of clothing and 125,000 cans of soda.
  • Without trade, Brazil produces AND CONSUMES 50,000 units of clothing and 25,000 cans of soda.
  • Denote these points on each COUNTRY’s production possibility frontier.
  • Using what you have learned and any independent research you may conduct, which product should each country specialize in, and why?

To assist in your thinking and discussion, additional questions to consider include:

  • What is the labor-intensive good?
  • What is the Marginal Rate of Transformation impact?
  • What is the labor-abundant country?
  • What is the capital-abundant country?
  • Could trade help reduce poverty in Brazil and other developing countries?
