Gender Representation
This 5-6 page paper will demonstrate your ability to combine visual description, applied gender theory, and comparative visual rhetorical analysis in one essay. This assignment asks you to consider and explicate the relationship between some of these components in two images in order to compare their representation of gender, using rhetorical visual analysis and gender theory. You will be expected to choose two images(pop culture images, music video excerpts or stills, film excerpts or stills, or art objects/projects/installations) in order to comparatively describe and analyze the visual material, offering original observations and drawing contextual and intertextual connections between the visuals with respect to representations of gender.
