This document outlines the agenda for an English 101 class on visual texts and linguistic landscapes. It discusses exploring street art, political cartoons, and the linguistic landscape of the local community. Students will work in groups to identify issues in their campus or city, and create a visual text addressing one of these issues. The project aims to examine how different visual genres like graffiti, signs and murals are used in public spaces, and what social meanings they convey. Students are asked to find and analyze examples of different visual genres, considering aspects like who produced them, their purpose and intended audience.

Image analysis
The document provides guidance on analyzing visual images through various techniques:
1. It outlines strategies for examining images holistically, technical elements, and hidden meanings.
2. A three-part approach is described for visual analysis: describing context, examining formal mechanics, and analyzing symbolic meaning.
3. Semiotic analysis is introduced as a method to study signs conveyed by images, especially in advertising. Signs can be symbolic, iconic, or indexical.
Representation
Representation involves how people, places, and objects are portrayed to an audience through various media. Representation is unavoidably selective and constructed from a particular point of view. Various theorists have examined how representation works. Stuart Hall analyzed how audiences can interpret representations in preferred, negotiated, or oppositional ways. Richard Dyer examined how stereotypes are often used to brand groups and present differences as natural. Roland Barthes distinguished between denotation and connotation, and how myths are used to naturalize dominant ideologies.
Girls aloud representation lesson
This document discusses representation and how bands are portrayed in the music industry based on their genre and gender. It uses the girl band Girls Aloud as an example, analyzing how their image is constructed through techniques like photography style, facial expressions, clothing and use of text in magazine covers and album art. Representation is determined by the visual elements used in an image and how they are intended to reinforce a particular message about the band to their target audience. Students are then tasked with researching representation of a music artist by finding multiple images from different sources and analyzing the denotation and connotation of each.
Audience
David Morley conducted a study in 1980 where he had different socioeconomic groups watch an episode of the BBC program Nationwide. He argued that individuals from different social positions would have different interpretations of the program based on their shared cultural experiences and discourses. Specifically, he outlined three potential readings: dominant, negotiated, and oppositional. Christian Metz also analyzed audiences and argued that film satisfies three Freudian desires - the desire for the ego, the desire to desire, and the desire for an object or fetishism. Understanding how social position influences interpretation is important for properly constructing and targeting audiences for films.
Audience 131208092614-phpapp01
Audience theory examines how audiences are constructed and how they interpret films. An audience's interpretation is influenced by factors like their social class, education, and cultural background. David Morley studied how different socioeconomic groups interpreted the BBC program "Nationwide" and found they had dominant, negotiated, or oppositional readings based on their social positions. Christian Metz argued that film satisfies three Freudian desires - for the ego, to desire, and for an object - which distinguishes it from other art forms. Understanding audience composition and interpretation is important for targeting a film to the appropriate demographic.
Genre Theory
This document discusses genre theory as it relates to film studies. It provides definitions of genre from several scholars and discusses how genre is used to categorize and organize films into groups based on common attributes. However, the boundaries between genres are noted to be fuzzy rather than clearly defined. Most films contain elements of multiple genres. Genre theory examines how a text relates to other similar texts and the context in which it is consumed. While genres help audiences and producers, they also come with criticisms such as being restrictive to creators and risk-averse for institutions.

Richard Dyer examined how stereotypes are often used to brand groups and present differences as natural. Roland Barthes distinguished between denotation and connotation, and how myths are conveyed. Laura Mulvey introduced the concept of the "male gaze" in film and how audiences are positioned as male viewers. Later theorists like Angela McRobbie and David Gauntlett examined how gender and identities are socially constructed through various media representations.
Genre theory
1. Genre theory proposes that genres are conventions of content and form shared by texts belonging to them, though genres are dynamic and constantly changing rather than fixed.
2. Genres position both producers and audiences in certain ways, with genres providing expectations for audiences around plot, characters, and pleasures like emotional responses and sharing the experience with others.
3. However, genre classification is problematic, as individual texts may belong to multiple genres, genres are not clearly defined and change over time and between cultures, and their functions and borders are debated.

Media and collective identity answering the exam questions
This document provides guidance on exam questions for a collective identity unit and how to answer them well. It outlines four potential exam questions focusing on how media represents different groups, comparisons between past and present representations, the social implications of representations, and the extent to which identity is mediated. For each question, it provides examples and theorists to draw from to thoroughly answer the questions.
Feb 10 Visual Rhetoric
- Visual elements and arrangements in a text can perform persuasive work by appealing to things like color, typography, and style to achieve the creator's goals (Main Point 1)
- The rhetoric used in a visual text cannot be separated from its social and cultural context, and must be interpreted with an understanding of that context (Main Point 2)
- Anne Wysocki argues that readers now expect visual aspects of texts on computer screens and paper to be considered part of the message due to technological changes (Main Point 3)
Genre Theory
Genre theory divides media texts into categories based on common elements to help study the texts and audience responses. Genres are dynamic cultural categories that transcend media and are used by industries to sell products to audiences using familiar conventions. While genres provide audiences with pleasures like emotion, visceral sensation, and puzzle-solving, they also evolve over time through stages like experimentation, classicization, parody, and deconstruction.
Mlk Day Of Service Projects Sherrie Bennett
The document outlines several projects and activities for members to participate in for Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, including mixing with different groups during lunch to learn about diversity, reading books that discuss diversity perspectives, creating t-shirts representing one's beliefs, taking a survey on views of diversity, interviewing those involved in civil rights events, writing about heritage and experiences, dramatizing civil rights figures, and participating in marches and community activities to honor MLK Jr. The overall goal is for members to expand their cultural boundaries, enhance respect for diversity, and improve lives through community service on MLK Day.
Genre theory
Genre theory provides a framework for categorizing different types of media texts based on common elements and conventions. Genres help producers develop recognizable texts, help audiences decide what to consume, and help scholars analyze texts. While genres provide stability, they are also dynamic and evolve over time reflecting social and cultural changes. Different theorists examine how genres provide audiences with pleasures through emotional, visceral, and intellectual engagement, and how genres are shaped by industries and audiences. Examples show how genres are communicated through visual cues and how genres have changed over time while still retaining core conventions.
Media texts in the classroom
The document discusses how media texts can be analyzed and used in the English language classroom. It provides theories on how the media constructs messages and representations, not reality. Tools for analysis include semiotics, studying denotation and connotation, and exploring ideological meanings. The document also provides examples of dissecting images from advertisements and discussing the literal and symbolic meanings conveyed. It suggests having students critically analyze media texts to develop independent thinking skills.

This document provides an overview of the Stage 6 Visual Arts syllabus in New South Wales, Australia. It outlines the structure and components of the Preliminary and HSC courses, including the key areas of practice, conceptual framework, and interpretive frames. Examples are given of student artworks and exam questions to illustrate these course elements. Resources for research are also listed, such as art gallery publications, databases, magazines, textbooks, and contact information for the inspector.
Deadpool (2016)
This document provides an overview for analyzing the 2016 film Deadpool using a postmodern lens. It outlines learning objectives around discussing initial reactions to the film, deconstructing its advertising campaign, and applying features of postmodernism. These include nonlinear narratives, self-reflexivity, intertextuality, and subversion. The document prompts analyzing how the film's opening sequence challenges representation conventions and compares to other films. It also discusses representing identities and controversies around the film's content and ideology.
Group Project: compare and contrast
This document provides instructions for a group project comparing Michelangelo Buonarroti's 1501-04 sculpture "David" and Gianlorenzo Bernini's 1623 sculpture "David". Students are asked to describe the key details of each work, discuss formal elements and how the works are similar or different in terms of size, pose, moment depicted, movement/stillness, expression, and nudity. They are also prompted to analyze how these formal qualities relate to the historical context and meaning of each work, considering themes of idealism vs realism, the story of David, and the roles of individuals and scientific discovery in society at the time.
Genre media
Genre refers to categories of artistic works such as literature, music, and film. Genres are defined by conventions that change over time as new genres emerge and old ones fade away. Films can be categorized by their themes, settings, moods or formats. However, defining film genres is complex as most Hollywood films blend elements of multiple genres. The need to categorize films into genres is important for marketing films to audiences and enabling discussion, but genres are not pure and film identities can be ambiguous.
Genre theory monday 2014
This document discusses genre theory and definitions of genre. It provides perspectives from several theorists on what constitutes a genre and how genres function. Daniel Chandler defines genres based on shared conventions of content, themes and settings. Steve Neale views genres as instances of repetition and difference that provide pleasure to audiences. Genres are seen as dynamic and constantly changing rather than fixed forms. The document also discusses genre hybridization and provides examples of how genres develop over time from experimental to classic to parody to deconstruction. It examines genres as providing structure, expectations and pleasure for both audiences and producers.
Key Concepts Q1B
Genre refers to categorizing texts by style and form, providing expectations for audiences and allowing producers to market to specific groups. Different music genres have conventions for music videos in terms of iconography, structure, and theme. Narratives seek a linear structure from beginning to end to make sense of events, and music video narratives can add meaning to songs or portray intended feelings. Representation in media is how cultures are portrayed, extending our experience of reality, and music videos represent songs, artists, and genres through stereotypical signs. Considering audience theories like uses and gratifications is important because media is created for audiences, who ultimately decide a work's success.
Narrative theory
The document summarizes several narrative theories including Todorov's 5 stages of narrative, Barthes' narrative codes, Propp's character archetypes, and Strauss' concept of binary oppositions. Todorov proposed that narratives follow 5 stages: equilibrium, disruption, recognition of disruption, attempt to repair, new equilibrium. Barthes identified codes like enigma and action that create anticipation. Propp identified 7 character types commonly found in folktales. Strauss believed narratives are structured through fundamental oppositions like good vs evil. The theories provide ways to analyze narrative structure and characters in stories and films.
Media language
This document provides an overview of media language theory, including key theorists and concepts. It discusses how media texts construct meaning for audiences through codes and language. Some main points covered include:
- Media language analyzes how technical elements like camera shots, fonts, and layouts create meaning. It examines meanings at denotative, connotative, and symbolic levels.
- Theorists discussed include Barthes, Saussure, Derrida, Pierce, McLuhen, and Kuleshov. Barthes explored denotation and connotation. Saussure analyzed the relationship between signifiers and signifieds. Derrida emphasized polysemic meanings.
- Approaches to meaning include
ART100Sp16Module6.2
This document provides an overview of semiotic analysis and key concepts from Ferdinand de Saussure's theory of signs. It explains that a sign is composed of a signifier (the form that the sign takes) and signified (the concept it represents). Meaning comes from how signs are differentiated within a system. Charles Sanders Peirce identified three types of signs: icons which resemble the object, indexes which are causally connected, and symbols which are arbitrarily defined by convention. Semiotic analysis can help determine the meaning of visual art by examining how formal elements and contextual factors contribute to what a work signifies.
Genre theory for G325 OCR A2 media exam
This document discusses several theories of genre in media. It addresses genre as both descriptive, where films are categorized based on shared attributes, and functional, where genres express contemporary social and cultural ideas. Genre is seen as repetition with variations, standardizing production while allowing for innovation. Iconography and conventions signal genre to audiences. A genre both defines a moral and social world but can become stagnant if not allowed to evolve through new patterns and variations.
Narrative
Narrative refers to how a story is told or presented, rather than just the plot. There are several theories about narrative structure and how meaning is created for audiences. Todorov's theory proposed that narratives follow a structure of equilibrium, disequilibrium, and new equilibrium. Kuleshov's theory, demonstrated through experiments, showed that editing creates meaning through the association of images and manipulation of aspects like rhythm, time, and pace. More recent theorist Cameron proposed modular narratives, where time is not presented in a straightforward linear way. Editing is an important way of telling stories and creating intended perceptions through techniques like those explored by Kuleshov nearly 100 years ago.
Genre Theory
The document discusses the history and purpose of genre in media. It explains that genres originated from Ancient Greek plays that were used for religious rituals and emotional release. Over time, genres such as comedy and tragedy became standardized ways to categorize plays. The document also discusses how genres help audiences understand what to expect from different media works and allow them to be more easily marketed and sold. However, genres have become more hybridized and fluid over time as they incorporate elements from multiple genres.

Genre theory
Genre theory posits that genres are defined by certain conventions of content, themes, settings, and forms that are shared among texts belonging to that genre. However, genres are dynamic and open to negotiation rather than fixed forms. Individual texts can also belong to multiple genres depending on factors like location and time period. Genres provide frameworks that position readers and viewers in certain ways, but also offer pleasures through repetition and deviation from expectations.

social theme
When a social theme is occurring across different genres, it implies that multiple artists, writers, filmmakers, musicians, or creators are exploring and representing the same social issue in their respective works. This could be seen in literature, film, music, visual art, theater, or any other form of creative expression.
For example, a social theme like racial inequality might be depicted in novels, poetry, films, paintings, music, and even stage performances. Each of these artistic mediums offers a unique perspective and approach to exploring and raising awareness about the issue.
The presence of a social theme across different genres can be indicative of its significance and the collective effort to shed light on and engage with the issue from various artistic angles. It can provide a broader understanding and impact by reaching diverse audiences through their preferred art forms.

Research Subject Projects
#1:
Research the NMAI in both Washington and New York. Discuss the origins of this institute, its importance to Native artists and how this institute is viewed in American culture. You will need to discuss the importance of the architecture of the structure as well.
#2:
Select two different potters. Discuss their styles and what makes their work different. You are not limited to the Southwest and may want to investigate pottery in the Midwest. You will need to address contemporary and traditional styles as well as the influence of gender upon this tradition.
#3:
Review the work of Ernie Paniccioli. He is a very powerful Native artist and one that has many avenues to investigate for this project. You will want to discuss the "legacy" of his work. How is he viewed in the American art world? What does Mr. Paniccioli have to say about his own work? What styles does he work within and why/why not has he selected this/these styles? His strong web presence should allow for multiple avenues of research.
#4:
Select, at least, two different Native theatre performing ensembles. Discuss their history, legacy and bodies of work that they have produced. To whom to do these ensembles normally perform? How are they received by the American public? Do they have international attention? Why/why not? Who are, if any, major actors to come from these ensembles? You may want to make contact with the directors/producers/performers from these different ensembles if possible.
#5:
Review two (2) works of Native literature written by a Native and non-Native author. What views of Native history, culture, art are expressed within these texts? Are the works accurate or do they contain inaccuracies? Where, how and why? How have these works been received by the Native and non-Native communities? You are not limited to a genre (mystery/thriller, comedy, biography, autobiography, poetry) but the works do have to be composed by a Native and non-Native author. You will want to look at both traditional and contemporary works of literature before you make a final decision on a text.
#6:
Compare/contrast two films: one by a Native film maker/producer and the other about Native culture from a non-Native film maker/producer. How do these films address Native culture? How did they balance their subject matter (documentary, fiction, action) along with a perspective of Native culture? What are the positive/negative views of Native cultu.

Exploring the Role of Culture on Graphic Designs
Research never concludes because there is always a new perspective that remains unexplored; Somebody starts recognizes it and starts the process again to make a justified contribution. This research also began because of lack of investigation in this field. Relationship between culture and graphic design is abundantly visible, so much that it is politely ignored by us. In this paper two pillars of this century have been examined to help understand the design trends and strengthen them at the foundation. Though culture has been a subject of study for more than a century now but graphic design has gained momentum very recently and it is significant to understand how has it become a part of the already established world; if not then how can it the incorporated into the realm of other fields.

Frames
The document discusses different frames for analyzing and understanding artwork:
1) The Subjective Frame focuses on an individual's personal reaction and feelings towards a piece.
2) The Cultural Frame examines the cultural values and influences behind the artwork's creation.
3) The Structural Frame analyzes the materials, techniques, composition, and how these contribute to meaning.
4) The Postmodern Frame considers how the artwork questions previous texts and narratives through techniques like appropriation and irony.

Project 3
Pop Culture Across Cultures
Context & Description
South Korean pop artist Psy’s smash hit single “Gangnam Style” is more than just a song. It is a cultural phenomenon. The video has gone viral on YouTube, garnering over 600 MILLION hits in just three months, becoming the third-most viewed video on the website (YouTube.com). “Gangnam Style” has been remade and parodied by hundreds of people all around the world. Psy’s popularity has crossed over from South Korea to many countries including the United States. He has granted interviews to the Today Show and the Ellen DeGeneres Show, danced “Gangnam Style” with Britney Spears, and become one of the most popular Halloween costumes of 2012. And through this buzz in the United States, one thing remains the same: the song is sung in Korean (not English).
“Gangnam Style” is one of the many K-Pop (Korean Pop) songs in what Chinese journalists called the Korean wave (韓流), “a phenomenon that refers to the onslaught of South Korean entertainment in Asia and, more recently, in other parts of the world” (Valerio). Despite differences in language, Psy’s song is now a mainstay in popular (pop) culture in the United States and beyond. However, Psy’s “Gangnam Style” is definitely not the first K-Pop song to exist: groups like 2NE1 and BIGBANG are certainly popular in Korea, but they did not make as big of a splash as Psy’s hit. What was it that made “Gangnam Style” so popular? Why Psy? Why now? Is it Psy’s appearance? The dance associated with the song? The music itself? The lyrics? The splashy, fun music video? Or is it the catchy concept, “Dress classy and dance cheesy”? And what might be the influence of this song on K-Pop music in the US in the future?
The purpose of this project is to explore the nature of popularity by examining a transnational flow of pop culture--a situation that requires the negotiation of different values, assumptions and tastes. What makes a popular artifact from one culture “cross over” to other cultures? What makes the artifact popular in the first place? Why are people drawn to artifacts from certain countries? Why do people seek alternatives from other cultures? What ideological, social, cultural, political, economic, and/or historical factors affect the popularity of an artifact in different countries? What makes one artifact internationally appealing while other artifacts from the same country do not gain the same kind of popularity? How does the success of one artifact open the door for other artifacts from the same country?
Write a feature magazine article that analyzes a transnational cultural artifact: a song, music video, user-created video, movie, blog, book, fashion style, celebrity, etc. In preparation for this project, explore the criteria that help explain what makes a cultural artifact popular in one context and consider how the same criteria may or may not apply to another context. Then, identify a pop culture artifact. It may be something that ha ...

(Pop Art, Cubism, Surrealism, contemporary, modern). Concentrate on the basic elements of Art: line, color, form, size, texture, and hue. Try asking yourself some of the following questions: What colors are used in the artwork? Do the colors influence the effect the piece has on the viewer? How big is the work? Describe the composition symmetrical, asymmetrical, what are the forms like? Angular, biomorphic, geometric, what is the medium of the work? How does that influence the total effect of the piece? Where is the work located in the gallery? How is it hung or displayed? How do you feel when you look at the piece? What do you think the intentions of the artist were? Do you think the artist got his message across to his audience? These are just a few questions you might ask yourself to help get started.

Museums Audiences
The document discusses different ways of analyzing audiences of museums. It outlines three traditional paradigms - behavioral, incorporation/resistance, and spectacle/performance. The spectacle/performance paradigm, proposed by Abercrombie and Longhurst, views museum visitors as part of a "diffused audience" that is constantly performing and constructing identity. Research should examine the local identity work performed through interactions with global processes represented in museum displays.

Race and identity 343 for blog
Here are 3 potential classroom activities that could reflect Ibrahim's pedagogical philosophy:
1. Have students do research projects on influential figures from marginalized communities and present their findings to the class. This elevates voices that are often excluded.
2. Incorporate texts, music, films etc. from diverse cultures and communities into lesson plans to expose students to a variety of perspectives.
3. Facilitate open discussions where students are encouraged to respectfully share their own cultural experiences and backgrounds. This values multiple identities and ways of communicating.
Ibrahim is pointing out that the assumed "norm" in schools often reflects the dominant white culture and experience by default. As teachers, we need to be conscious

The document discusses a class that focuses on understanding the influence of culture on writing. It introduces contrastive rhetoric, which examines differences in writing across cultures. While Kaplan's early work in this area made broad generalizations, later scholars recognized that writing is influenced by many factors beyond just one's native language and culture.

Week 4 540
The document discusses the need for a pluralistic approach to composition and world Englishes that embraces linguistic diversity. It critiques earlier approaches that promoted a monolingual model and segregated language codes. Scholars like Canagarajah argue students should learn communicative strategies for negotiating diverse language contexts, and that composition pedagogy should legitimize the use of vernacular varieties and code-meshing in academic writing. This represents a shift toward a translingual approach that prepares students for linguistic flexibility and pluralism in a globalized world.

- 4. Cartoons and Street Art
- 5. Blurring boundaries between visual and written genres Why does Karoline like to use the genre of political cartoons to convey her views? Who is the audience for political cartoons? What’s NCLB? How can you tell what a good political cartoon is? What are some of the conventions she used to create her cartoon? Kristina says that the process of creating a political cartoon is similar to creating a text. How can visual and written genres can do the same work in different ways?
- 6. Linguistic Landscape Linguistic Landscape researchers look at different types of texts used in public space and examine educational, political, cultural and social meanings they create for different community members. In this project, you are asked that you get acquainted with your campus and surrounding town/city first. For this, you will work in groups to identify, examine and take stands on controversial issues that directly impact you, your campus or Bloomington-Normal community as a whole. You may specifically look at the street art, post signs and murals displayed on the city and around the campus. As a result of various class activities on exploring the language used in the community, each group will create a visual text that integrate substantive researchto make their arguments. Depending on the permit issues, your final products can be displayed in the Bloomington-Normal community.

Find two kinds of visual genre that represent a social/political point of view. This could be a street art, mural, graffiti, street sign or a billboard. After you locate two visual texts, conduct a genre analysis of them in your groups. Some of the guiding questions for your reflection are: ****What are the features of this genre?; Who do you think produced the? What is the social context, surrounding of the text is like?
