(1) Choose a fictional, artistic, or theoretical text that challenges you to think differently about culture
(local or global) in some way(s).
(2) Use this fictional, artistic, or theoretical text as a locus for thinking-with: How does (or how might) this
fictional, artistic, or theoretical text challenge our current thinking about some particular aspect of
culture? Why is it important or significant to think about this aspect of culture in this particular way (or in
these particular
ways)? In other words: Why does this matter? (You may wish to reference our Canvas notes re:
QuestionBased Writing.)
(3) Use the notes you develop from steps 1-2 to guide your research and to formulate your original
argument for this project. You must argue from primary material and secondary research sources and
provide detailed analysis of your evidence.
