Arts and Health Paper -- Due Thu May 7
Here is the outline for your paper due Thu May 17, 2012
In this class we have spent a lot of time talking about how masculinity and manhood are portrayed in the media. Popular culture provides valuable clues as to how men are expected to dress, behave, and relate to others. A central premise of the class is that these expectations, supported by the media, reinforce either healthy attitudes and behaviors (such as working out, eating right, respecting women, condom use), unhealthy ones (gun violence, excessive drinking, risky-sex, partner violence, rape, smoking).
Bear in mind that the ‘pathways’ by which health is supported or undermined by manhood-related media may be either:
a. Direct – For example where cigarettes are directly marketed to young men during video games with ads or billboards in the virtual world
b. Indirect – For example, “Snake,” a popular game hero (Metal Gear Solid) uses cigarettes to actually aid his health (add points and protection) during the course of the game.
c. Both – Games may feature both characters that smoke AND advertising
Other indirect pathways may be media or arts such as those that glorify subjugation of women through force, glorify gun play and gangs, or permit anti-gay bias through slurs and jokes.
This paper asks you to choose a particular art form that you like or relate to. It does not have to be popular media – it can be ANY form of the arts:
Music
Poetry
Fiction
Non-Fiction
Painting
Sculpture
Performance Art
Video
Film
Television
Radio
Internet Audio or Video
Website
Once you’ve selected a form, choose one specific piece of work (like a song or a book) and write about it.
Describe, in your own words, how the piece of work depicts men – manhood, masculinity, etc. How does the way men are portrayed in the work either reinforce positive or negative (or both) attitudes and behaviors related to health? What makes the piece of work effective in promoting either healthy and unhealthy behaviors or attitudes? Why do you personally relate to the piece of work? What do you think it has to teach other men about health and wellness?
NO SPOILERS!!!!
Please do not reveal key plot points or endings to me, the reader. I may want to see the movie myself and don’t want to have the ending spoiled. If you must spoil, put a ‘spoiler alert’ adjacent to the spoiler so I can choose whether to read it or not. THANKS.
Not to exceed 2 to 3 pages typed double spaced.
