This assignment is to help you write the final Critical Analysis project for this class. It is similar to the work you have already been doing in class this semester. However, we also expect you to engage more directly with the materials and use examples from the documentaries and accompanying articles to help make your points. If you’ve been given permission to do a Choose-Your-Own Case Study (more information about doing one available here), please refer to the guidelines we give you personally about turning in this assignment. For this assignment you will pick the Case Study you want to follow. (See all the Case Study options here and watch me describe the project here.) After seeing your options, I would also recommend looking over the document posted that has some questions listed to help you recall all of the concepts we’ve gone through so far this semester (for this assignment we are only looking at: Nature, Society & Personhood, Territory, Place, Globalization, and Development), which is available here. Then I would recommend reading the article/watching the documentary for at least 2-3 of the options so you know what the options are before you pick. Once you’ve decided, read the posted article and watch the documentary (in whichever order you prefer). While you are reading/watching be thinking about the possible ways you can analyze what is going on in this Case Study. Just to note: you’ll see that for some of the options, I’ve also posted supplemental materials, which can help you add more context in the final submission of the paper but you don’t need to engage with them this time unless you really want to do so. You are also free to do your own scholarly searches for more information about the case study now or in the future on the project. Once you’ve done all those things, draft the first part of your Final Critical Analysis making sure to do all parts that are listed below. 1. Provide a summary of case study (both film and required reading). This should be approximately two regular paragraphs long. You should include 2-3 sentences with your reflections on the film in general and why you picked it and what surprised you about the case study after watching the film/reading the article. (Please do not write more than 2 regular paragraphs). 2. Select the first big concept you will use for analyzing your case study. Then write 2-3 sentences about why you’ve chosen it/how it offers an interesting means to analyze for your case study. (For this assignment, you need to pick a concept from these options: Nature, Society & Personhood, Territory, Place, Globalization, and Development). 3. Identify two big questions or sets of questions you plan to use to guide your analysis of your case study with the concept. I’ve provided sets of possible questions in this guide. They are there to guide you. If you need to rework them, or create your own based on your understanding of the concepts and your interests you can — do note though that while you can make it easier on yourself by writing yourself a less complex question, you will lose points if you don’t offer a very good analysis. 4. Next you will start the draft for the first half of your case study (this part should be 450-700 words). Your essay should have all these parts: a. You need to have at least two quotes or define two concepts related to the big concept you’ve selected using the readings/lecture. Make sure to define the concepts—e.g., for sense of place – “In the lecture (Week 6) sense of place was defined as ________”; or “local/global connection” or “In Cresswell (2013), he discusses how places are locally situated as well as globally connected to movements for freedom, such as __ [give example or quote] _____”). b. Your essay also needs to provide 2-5 examples from the film/article with quotes from people or descriptions of what is going on to help make your points with each of the concepts/quotes you picked in above. If your examples are substantial and you can make your point well, then you can just use 1 example to make your point for each concept/quote (see part 4a), but if they are short, you will need more than two total examples. This is a reminder that for the Final Critical Analysis Project, we expect your writing and examples here to be stronger than in the discussion assignments overall (think better examples, clarity in writing, grammar, less typos, fuller understanding of the concepts, etc.). While this is a draft and you don’t need to have it perfect yet, you should be organized and clear. Just as you have in the discussion posts, you need to cite your sources (if they are from the provided materials, the author/director and date will suffice (i.e., name, date); with the documentary, please put a timestamp on it too (name, date, xx:xx)–please note that if you can’t find the director, you can put the film title instead). If you use other scholarly sources not provided by the class, you need to cite them in text like the others and provide enough information for us to find them. You do not need to have a formal bibliography however. Also please note: Scholarly sources are academic books, peer-reviewed journal articles, newspaper articles from reputable sources, government documents and approved documentaries. If you struggle to figure out if a source is scholarly, you can ask us one time for assistance on it. Topic: Sports & Identity – The West Indies Cricket Team This documentary chronicles the history of the West Indies cricket team and its rise to global dominance in the sport in the face of its colonial legacy and the racism embedded in the sport and fan-base. From the development of new playing techniques to sense of place and culture, the playing field becomes a place of resistance to societal oppression and a site of change. For students interested in culture, sports, society, sense of place, and political change.
