THIS QUESTION HAS 2 SEPERATE ASSIGNMENTS!!!
QUESTION 1: Section V of your final project allows you to think broadly about
using methods of cultural anthropology to understand other cultures as
well as your own culture. Part of this section involves conducting an
interview with one of your film’s characters, and part of this interview
is understanding the system of power surrounding your character.
Remember that power comes from a variety of sources including kinship
systems, social relationships, economic standing, religion, and
politics.
Compose your initial post as if you were conducting this interview. In your initial post, be sure to do the following:
Identify the film.
Name the character from the film.
Briefly summarize the role of the character in the film.
Compose at least five questions that would help you gain a better
understanding of the character’s cultural practices, including the
character’s position within some expression of power in the film.
Explain how those questions would help you gain a better
understanding of the character’s cultural practices, including the
character’s position within some expression of power in the film.
Remember to practice the principles of cultural relativism.
