Description
I need help writing an essay.STEP A: Read the article, which appears below. Source: The New York Times, January 11, 2021.
STEP B: Answer the following five questions in essay form. You must write 100-200 words per paragraph of your essay, which will total 500-1,000 words once you have finished. Be sure to a) answer each question or write what you are asked to describe in full, and b) check each of your paragraphs for clarity of writing and spelling errors before submitting your essay.
Paragraph 1: Recount what happened at M.D.C. (who, what, where, and why), summarizing the main events that The New York Times story describes. You MAY supplement your summary with any additional information you have. IF you do, YOU MUST CITE any further facts that you give.
Paragraph 2: Drawing on what you learned in lectures 1-5, describe the audiences that both the MDC administration and artists and curator sought to channel and transmit information to, and the messages they sought to transmit. How did the mediums of a museum exhibition, a written grant proposal, college/museum marketing materials, email messages and more shape events?
Paragraph 3: Describe, and analyze, how the terms “art†and “investigation†were defined, and mobilized by the different actors that The New York Times story depicts. What does defining art and investigation in different ways do? Why was it important (or not) to different people in the story to define what art is and what investigations are, and where the boundaries between the two stand? As a humanities scholar, you must decide in this paragraph whether to write about: what is art versus what is an investigation? Or how did the different actors define these so that they could achieve a particular effect and/or create an outcome. Be specific about how each of the people in the story defined ‘art’ and ‘investigation,’ why they did so and what this achieved.
Paragraph 4: what does defining art in a narrow way, to not include investigation DO, and what political, economic, and cultural effects in general does it achieve? Does this story indicate that the art and museum world improved or protected their quality by stopping this exhibit? Does it indicate anything about the politics, economics, and governing impulses of the museum and/or college? What can we learn from the story about the institutions and politics involved and what does the story tell us about the significance of concepts, definitions, and the ‘power to define’?
Paragraph 5: Choose one major term you have encountered in lectures the last four weeks and describe its role in analyzing what happened at MDC. Choices include: “infrastructural power,†“media,†“audience,†and more. Point out BOTH the usefulness of the term, and whether your reading complicates (or ‘troubles’) its application to the events that the feature story narrates.
