a.     First, define, compare and contrast “physical reality”, “symbolic reality” and” mediated reality”.  Then, explain the role that mediated reality occupies in human communication in general and global mass media in particular.  b.     Read both of the following articles: “Fantasy and Rhetorical Vision: The Rhetorical Criticism of Social Reality,” Ernest Bormann Quarterly Journal of Speech, 58 (1972), 396-407.   “Homo Narrans The Narrative Paradigm: In the Beginning” Walter R Fisher Journal of Communication (pre-1986); Fall 1985; 35, 4;   Summarize each of the two articles and then identify two main points in each article which you find relevant for the study of global mass media in general.    Next discuss the impact of “fantasy” and “narrative” in the construction of a “transactional approach to imagining the global.”  Finally, thoughtfully relate what you’ve learned from the two articles to the following passage:   “So much of the way that people… operate, whatever culture they’re from, is through stories. It’s the way that people imagine their world and how they see things. Stories are always the backdrop. The kind of assumed things that are unspoken, find their way in the stories. And so when you see a story that comes from a different place, you . . . you run up against different assumptions. And that’s always kind of exciting.” (Darling-Wolf, p. 124).

Landscape and Class John Barrell and T.J. Clark are remarkably aligned scholars of social class and the history of art. For both, their main focus is the representation of socio-economic difference in the 19th century—a time where there was a profound growth and transformation in urban centers, and agrarianism was giving way to industrialism. While aligned, Barrell and Clark focus on different contexts—Britain and France—and examine artists/artworks with incredibly divergent politics (i.e. the differences in the landed nobility of England and Courbet’s Bohemianism). Drawing from one example of the English landscape in Barrell and one work by Courbet as discussed by Clark, this essay asks you to compare and contrast how these artists depict landscape as a social history. You will need to draw from Barrell and Clark’s essays as evidence to prove your point (and I will be looking heavily at your ability to apply their readings to artworks). Please be sure to clearly describe your thesis, and to write in clear, descriptive and well-organized sentences.   Formatting: -Times New Roman, 12 pt. font, double spaced, 1” margins, 2 pgs.  -Endnotes formatted in Chicago Style (https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/chicago_manual_17th_edition/chicago_style_introduction.html) -Submit essay in e-learning Dropbox.
