Description

The Project Runway Paper is meant to assess your ability to apply theories and concepts from the course to a contemporary cultural artifact, an episode of the hit TV show, Project Runway (S16E10). Your assignment should answer the following questions:

Your paper should also include citations to course materials used, and include a bibliography at the end. APA Citations Double Spaced Times New Roman Tips & Strategies General Tips ‣ As I’ve been mentioning throughout the term, all cultural artifacts reflect something about the society that produces them; as such, you are not so much analyzing the episode, as you are analyzing what this episode says about the state of contemporary capitalist society. ‣ A good way of thinking about question two might be to think about what values or practices this episode reproduces, or what type of ‘work’ this episode is doing. ‣ Make sure to use clear, explicit references to parts of the episode to make your point. Structure & Organization ‣ Your assignment should include a title, and follow typical essay format (introduction, body, conclusion).
