Karl Marx and Emile Durkheim.
For your mid-term examination, you will create “something”
creative (such as a podcast, painting, poem, song, play, theatre
performance, interpretive dance or other form of dance, musical
composition, etc) that interrogates the main theoretical contributions
of at least TWO authors that we have discussed thus far this semester.
Your artistic creation can be anything of your choosing. Bring your two
chosen authors into conversation (not necessarily literally) with one
another through your artistic expression. Your artistic expression may
be a dedication to the authors, the concepts they discuss, or how you
relate to the materials. After creating your artistic item/expression,
you will write a TWO-page single-spaced (or 4-page double-spaced) write
up that does the following:
Describes what the artistic piece is doing, is inspired by, or
reflecting on
If a poem or song, break down line by line of the poem and explain what
it means (See Genius.com for an example of this)
If a painting, describe the painting in vivid detail. Imagine you are
describing it to someone that cannot see. Describe the colors, textures,
visuals.
If a theatre performance, explain who are the major characters in your
piece and what the main plot, climax, ending of the story is
If dance, you would be recording yourself for me to view, and then you
would explain how each movement connects to your expression
For musical composition, instrumentals, etc, describe the emotions in
the music and how the tempos connect to what you’re expressing. Imagine
you’re describing it to someone that cannot hear.
Explains how the artistic piece connects to the authors you have chosen
Explains the theoretical contributions the two authors have made and how
those speak to your artistic creation
Brings the two authors theories and contributions into conversation with
each other and explain how you brought them together in your creative
expression
