For this assignment, you are asked to write a 1650 word critical, contextual review of the movie “Dallas Buyers Club” Think about your chosen text using the concepts we considered in the media section of the course on Critical discourse analysis
• Who is being addressed?
•What ideas, values, beliefs are present/absent? • Whose voices receive attention?
• Whose interests are served?
• How might audiences be influenced
• Which stereotypes are perpetuated? • What norms/values are privileged?
Along with concepts such as identity politics.
However, your reflection should move beyond an artistic review. Think about the social, political, medical knowledge base of the both the producer and audience of the art. What was known/believed about HIV/AIDS when the work debuted? (Use the text By Christopher Capozzola about the AIDS quilt as a model for integrating cultural context into a discussion of a cultural product) Consider:
How did it reinforce or challenge existing ideas?
Who was it intended for?
Does it reinforce or challenge notions of stigma?
How does its distribution, presentation determine who may have access to it?
1
Draw on at least four other class readings (not necessarily from the Media or Arts lessons of the course ) to help frame your discussion. These texts can speak to the medical/social/legal conditions of the work’s context. Use at least three works from outside class (reviews, biographies, criticism, etc.) to support your investigation.
Please include a cover page, bibliography and use proper citation style.
