Class 10/24

HW: Initial draft"Theorizing Cool" due Wed. See assignment sheet

In class:
What is the outward identity of the people in your photos? 

What do they hope to suggest about themselves? 

What are the values and assumptions implicit in their attitudes, dress, body language, etc? 

Likewise, what is valued by the culture they are a part of? 

What troubling / provocative questions are brought up by your analysis of your photos?
 
How do these things relate to our classroom discussion of music videos and cigarette advertisements? What are the various ways you can consider “the cool”? And, how do these considerations link up?
