discuss the misrepresentation of asian women in american media,
discuss the misrepresentation of asian women in american media,
specifically film. This specific group is often underrepresented, but when they are
portrayed its in the form of one dimensional characters. The common stereotypes are
sexual submissive objects, aggressive characters, or the ‘nerd " These stereotypes
may have changed slightly, instead of the sexual submissive, we may now see the over
sexualized character who is sexually free, actively seeking her male counter parts. The
aggressive character turns into portrayals of aggressive asian mothering, or the
aggressive nerd willing to be beat their opponent at means necessary.
DIRECTIONS:
form the introduction from the summary I provided above.
use the attached literature ONLY-
write a page on EACH article- This should be a literature review of each page,
that cites and back-ups the introduction
write a conclusion
It should be Times New Roman, 12 pt, 1 inch margins, double spaced, 6-8 pages
BEFORE citations (no more/no less)-
]adhere to proper citation- Failure to properly cite (use quotation marks for
direct quotes, use in-text citations for paraphrasing, reference page number, and
include references page) will result in grade deduction.
]
find 5 articles to discuss on the topic of your choice, ONLY use the attached
5 articlesConsider writing one page for each article, one page discussing why this is important
scholarship (try to relate it to contemporary times), and a 1/2 - 1 page introduction.
I expect the following:
1: Summarize the argument of the scholar
2: Discuss HOW the scholar supports their argument (textual analysisfinterviews/etc..-)
3: Discuss AT LEAST one example from each article
4: Paraphrasing (avoid long, direct quotes)
5: Explanation as to WHY this is important (I would do this at the end of the paper as a
kind of conclusion, but be sure to avoid repeating the introduction)
Consider writing one page for each article, one page discussing why this is important
scholarship (try to relate it to contemporary times), and a 1/2 - 1 page introduction.
So, I will expect a full, edited literature review of five sources (attached) The literature
review must include a references page- You can use the citation guide of MLA format.
Try to narrow your topic down : This paper will discuss the representation of asexual
women in broadcast television- This paper will discuss the use of dark-skinned models
in cosmetic advertising.
Then, when visiting the library database use a broad search - try 'asexuality in media"
or 'dark skinned models"Then you will write an introduction that makes an argument, introduces the topic, and
tells the reader that you will be adding to the current body of scholarship by focusing
specifically on cosmetic advertisements from the last five years. The latter part comes
later. Right now you are looking for articles similar to what you are interested in.
