Essay Questions
Choose ONE of the questions below.
2. Making close reference to the work of at least two theorists, discuss how contemporary culture represents masculinities OR femininities. Does the culture you discuss challenge or reinforce dominant expectations about gender?
5. Selecting one particular youth subculture from either the past or the present, discuss the ways in which we can understand the various forms of representation that characterise it as expressing the set of values and way of life of the group that sets it apart from mainstream society. To what extent can we understand these forms of representation as amounting to a ‘politics’? Your answer should make close reference to readings on subculture.
7. Discuss the relationship between typography and nationalism in the twentieth century. Close reference must be made to texts both from and beyond the module reading list.
8. Select an indoor space in London in which one particular national identity is dominant. (Examples of this might be a Polish shop, an Irish bar etc.) Making close reference to texts on the reading list, discuss how visual culture constructs the national identity in question.
10. EITHER
(a) Choose a recent Hollywood film that represents non-Western ‘others’. How can this film be critiqued through theories of the colonial and the postcolonial?
OR
(b) Choose a film made outside of Europe or North America. How might postcolonial theory help us understand the ways in which this film critically negotiates the histories of colonialism and its aftermath?
11. Discuss how a particular producer of visual culture (an artist, designer, illustrator, film-maker, etc.) represents, critiques or otherwise responds to the conditions of a “globalised” world.
12. Select either:
• a work from popular culture (a book, film, comic, artwork, poster, piece of design, etc.), or
• the oeuvre of a particular author (artist/designer/illustrator/etc.),
Discuss how this work might be considered to express and/or challenge dominant ‘ideology’. Your essay should carefully define and discuss this complicated term, with reference to Marxist theories about the function of culture as ‘ideological’.
13. Select the work of an “activist” artist, designer, illustrator or other cultural producer, making work at some point between the start of the twentieth century and the present, who took up a Marxist political standpoint. How did their work attempt to take on board Marxist theories about culture and society?

Can i help you.....I am an experience academic writer and I am ready to do this short task for you. Kindly consider my bid for top notch quality work,thanks
Hello! I'm the best candidate for this project because I'm consistently delivering great, highly informative, and keyword-rich articles. Please check PMB for bid details and samples. Thank you.
I am American-Canadian and I write my own papers. I have extensive experience in writing academic papers and teaching that subject plus more at MBA level. I have done three very successful dissertations on typography and have an MSc. in psychology. If you want a really good paper think about paying reasonably for what you need. Most of the cheap bidders and even some high bidders are third world jobbers with subcontracted second language writers. So be careful you check the feedback, not just the numbers. The numbers are misleading. IT is also helpful to check the reputations of the feedback givers, since the jobbers artificially inflate their stats with multiple accounts. I am semi-retired and need to augment my pension, so I do what I love and my papers generally get high marks.
Please check the portfolio. I have my resume and samples there. Files are self-extracting archives, so your antivirus may scream, but they are totally safe. Too many people do not have WinRAR, WinZIP or Stuffit, and these will unencrypt with a double-click. I do not put unencrypted files up to protect them from being crawled and published by search engines.
