critical essay

/in /by

With the assigned audiovisual materials, write a critical essay following the instructions below:Starting from the inference that many Latin American countries have lived under policies, plans, and interests of certain countries in the region and/or the world, do you believe that the rhetoric that appears in the assigned videos is a response to the colonial matrix that has remained for centuries?On the other hand, given the largely negative consequences for Latin American, Andean, and indigenous peoples, do you believe that their struggles are becoming even more radical? What could be the most appropriate strategies for the peoples and governments to fight back, and what responses should interfering countries provide?Moreover, there is no doubt that these demands now have a greater geographical reach. Do you then believe that governments of Andean countries will be willing to renew their old concepts of democracy, nation, development, state, and civilizational project with new practices that help counter practices from free-market, global, capitalist, and neoliberal societies?Make a critical reading of the videos and develop your analysis of the possible changes and outcomes that Andean and Latin American peoples may experience through their struggles and demands.INSTRUCTIONS:The critical essay will be 6 pages long, including the bibliography. Double-spaced, font size 12.You must cite at least 3 additional bibliographic resources (papers) to support and argue your ideas.Citations must follow the MLA format.Late submissions will not be accepted under any circumstances, which is why you have ample time to develop your essay without any pressure.Submit the essay to me on Thursday, May 11th, before 9 am.

Write an research essay on the unique artwork of sculptor Kane Kwei (coffins) and his descendants. Kane Kwei began creating coffins for the nouveau riche in Ghana in the 1950s.

Briefly describe the object’s original context and intended function through library research. Next, focus on one or two things that can be learned about this culture from this art object (consider belief system,

gender, political structure, economic structure, patronage, aesthetic design, etc.). This research must go beyond what you learned from class lectures and readings.

Lastly, consider what happens to this object once it is bought and sold and ends up in a gallery, museum,

the home of a collector, or on a tourist’s body. Address how this object’s meaning shifts once it leaves its

original context.

This paper should be 4-5 pages long, typed, double-spaced, 12 pt. font, free of all spelling and grammatical errors, no plagiarism, and with a clear, well-supported thesis. The bibliography of sources should follow the Chicago Style format and include at least two peer-reviewed articles or books (like African Arts Journal). Please submit it in the Canvas folder in DOCX format.

Please use this as one of the sources:

A realistic Mercedes-Benz in a gallery of African Art elicits many reactions. “What is it doing here?” is usually the first question. Children are often quite vocal about wanting to know, now. Adult dealers, particularly teachers, look for the label. When they read the car is a coffin, they notice that it’s cut in two horizontally and just big enough to hold the recumbent body. Next question hangs in the air: “Why is an empty fully functional coffin considered art?”

For southern Ghanaian observers, it isn’t art. Coffins are a necessity, provided to honor the deceased and assist them in their transition into the next life. Coffins are ordered from workshop when a member of a wealthy family is nearing death. One of several shops is called Six-Foot Enterprises, where the coffin carver Paa Joe keeps photographs of the coffins ordered by other families. The number of selections grows each year. The deceased person’s profession or role in the community often determines the image.

Ghanaians order coffins not for display but to hold the body of the deceased and convey it to a lavish burial ceremony. Such custom-made coffins are a 50 year-old tradition whose inspiration can be traced to the special role the dead have among the Ga people. M.J. Fields documented how the influence of the dead was felt. Every time people ate or drank, they offered a portion to the ground for their forefathers. Whenever an oath was sworn, it was uttered in the name of the dead. When asked about their personal history, people were guarded in speaking of their predecessors.   Field cited the word gblamo as an underlying explanation for this sense of the dead. Gblamo means ‘reincarnation,’ and is the name of the vine that twines around a post. The most visible expression of this belief in life’s reccurring cycle came during funerals, when the dead were treated to as much opulence as a family could afford. Their bodies were laid out in fancy imported bed linens and adorned with gold ornaments. The house is open for a week, and wine and rum were provided for visitors. After friends and relatives had paid their respects, the deceased would be placed in the basket or wood coffin and carried around town for a goodbye. Once buried, the dead were believed to wander many days before crossing a river to a place from which they can observe the living and intervene on occasion.

Ghana became independent in 1957 and launched an area of industrial growth. The massive damn being constructed on the Volta River gave new work to Ghanaians. Kane Quaye established a workshop on the road from the capital of Accra to the new port, Tampa. Suddenly, the lavish burials that had once been the privilege of chiefs alone were now much more commonplace. Coffins were so much demand that Paa Joe, Quaye’s apprentice, remembers, “We worked day and night! We made Chevrolets, cocoa pods, whales, canoes.” This boom had been in effect for more than 10 years when an American art dealer commissioned seven coffins for display in her gallery in 1973. In a 1974 article, she called them “fantasy coffins” and remarked how they resembled “oversized toys”, but marked a “somber occasion with a gesture that is cheerfully confident and personally expressive.” In a 1995 catalog for Neiman Marcus, the lead line asks, “How about a chili pepper for the living room or fish for the garden?” Instead of emphasizing what they are for, the catalogue calls the coffins “more fun than any little decorative figurine.”

Study Guide Final Exam

Just like the midterm, study the prompts from lecture as well as the readings listed.  For readings, just like last time, all I would ask about are the main findings or most important points:

Lecture – Sexual Health:

What do we mean when we say sexual health, what all does that encompass, do we just mean the absence of disease?

How can knowledge of what makes our body healthy or sexy be socially constructed?

What cognitive changes occur for someone who is suffering from anorexia (meaning distinct changes that happen for anorexics and not just from malnutrition)?

How does bulimia differ from anorexia nervosa?

What is meant by a health disparity?

Gil‐Llario, M. D., Morell‐Mengual, V., Ballester‐Arnal, R., & Díaz‐Rodríguez, I. (2018). The experience of sexuality in adults with intellectual disability. Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 62(1), 72-80.

Cohn, L., Murray, S. B., Walen, A., & Wooldridge, T. (2016). Including the excluded: Males and gender minorities in eating disorder prevention. Eating Disorders, 24(1), 114-120.

 

Lecture -Sex Work, Ethics, and the law/Sexually explicit materials–

What is the difference between erotica and pornography?

Why do we now use the term sex work to describe prostitution?

If I said 100% of sex workers performed their job on the street, are addicted to drugs, and were coerced into the work at a very young age, what would be incorrect about that statement and why?

Rubini, M., Roncarati, A., Ravenna, M., Albarello, F., Moscatelli, S., & Semin, G. R. (2017). Denying psychological properties of girls and prostitutes: The role of verbal insults. Journal of Language and Social Psychology, 36(2), 226-240.

Lecture – contraception/pregnancy

Why should individuals taking hormonal contraceptives to prevent pregnancy combine them with other forms of contraception, particularly if they aren’t in a stable long-term relationship but are still sexually active?

Should just one, or both partners be involved in discussing/using contraception, and why?

Is plan B (the morning after pill) a form of abortion, why or why not?

Do people still feel sexual/horny during pregnancy? If they do have sex what kind of changes to their sex behavior might be necessary?

Wang, T., Lurie, M., Govindasamy, D., & Mathews, C. (2018). The effects of school-based condom availability programs (CAPs) on condom acquisition, use and sexual behavior: A systematic review. AIDS and Behavior, 22(1), 308-320.

Grose, R. G., Grabe, S., & Kohfeldt, D. (2014). Sexual education, gender ideology, and youth sexual empowerment. The Journal of Sex Research, 51(7), 742-753.

 

Lecture – sexual harassment, aggression, and abuse

List three myths about sexual assault and correct those myths with reality/fact

If rape has a lower false report rate than theft and burglary, why do you think people so often doubt the claims of rape victims/survivors? (hint, knowing the myths helps to answer this question)

What can you do to help someone who is a survivor of sexual abuse/assault?

Mendes, K., Ringrose, J., & Keller, J. (2018). # MeToo and the promise and pitfalls of challenging rape culture through digital feminist activism. European Journal of Women’s Studies, 25(2), 236-246.

Lecture – HIV

What was the original name for HIV, and did it lead to any negative consequences?

How are outcomes for women who have HIV different than outcomes for men, and why might that be?

What is PrEP, and how can it help to prevent HIV infection?

Nyblade, L., Stangl, A., Weiss, E., & Ashburn, K. (2009). Combating HIV stigma in health care settings: what works?. Journal of the international AIDS Society, 12(1), 1-7.
