Write your response to all parts of the question that you pick. Your response should be
between 10-15 typed, double-spaced pages with 1-inch margins, 12-point, Times New
Roman font, using MLA citation style.Part 1: Cultural Studies and Media Representation of
Teenagers (Literature Review)While the field of media studies is broad, a “cultural studies”
approach offers a specific lens through which to examine media texts. Provide a working
definition of “cultural studies” that draws upon the literature in the field, and then use that
definition to articulate how scholars have used cultural studies approaches to examining
representations of teenagers in dramatic film and television. What scholars or practitioners
have made the most significant interventions in that area, and what has been their
contributions?Part 2: Gender, Sexuality, and Teenagers in Dramatic Television
(Analysis)Choose a television show such as Euphoria, Pretty Little Liars, or Gossip Girl (or
one of your own choosing) and perform a “cultural studies” analysis of how the gender and
sexual politics of teenagers are represented. While this section may draw upon your
previous literature review, the primary goal is to advance a new argument of your own with
a clearly articulated thesis. After your analysis is complete, reflect upon what we gain from
such an approach that may be absent in other approaches?
