In your analysis, make use of a range of the terms, concepts and strategies introduced in Tutorials 1 – 4 of the unit. Your analysis must define any terms used, include in-text references and a reference list, and follow the guidelines of referencing set out in Guidelines for Referencing, Faculty of Arts, Griffith University. Your analysis needs to: identify and describe the signs and sign systems at work in the text, employing a range of the following (minimum of 5): syntagms, paradigms, metonym, metaphor, connotations, denotations, icon/index/symbol, mode of address, binary oppositions, othering, intertextuality, ambiguity (500 words, 10 marks) undertake a commutation test to test the paradigmatic value of one or more of the signifiers (250 words, 5 marks) show how the gaze operates in the text (250 words, 5 marks) show how the text includes and excludes identities and meanings through myth and ideology (250 words, 5 marks). show how the text can be read in terms of dominant, negotiated, and oppositional readings (250 words, 5 marks) Writing, referencing (-5 marks). Marks will be deducted (maximum of 5) for incorrect grammar, spelling, punctuation, referencing, and report composition. *please note – marks will be adjusted out of 40. Lodgement: your assignment needs to be lodged as a Word file through the Assignment Submission portal on the Blackboard website for this unit. No PDF or other non-word file formats allowed. There is no need to use terms and concepts other than those presented in the Study Guide, text book and readings provided. Reference all terms and concepts. There is no need to analyse every signifier, although you will need to engage with the text at the signifier level to show how signification takes place. Avoid simply listing signs and sign systems. Do not use material found on internet sites in your analysis. Draw only from the material provided in the unit.
