Essay Topic (actual essay topic): 20 points
“Visual Realism” comprises values around photographic representation
that are based in some way on the mechanical impression of images on light
sensitive paper, or an electronic equivalent, and all the psychological and social
effects that result from that. One clear expression of realist values comes from
Bazin. Connect insights from Bazin to the consequences of media on culture in a
way that also reflects on the reading about the Rodney King beating. Finally,
write about one long paragraph (or more if you want) about related issues you see
going on in the U.S. currently.
In this essay you will:
A. Explain Bazin’s idea about photography (it applies to film, video, social
media as well),
B. Explain this idea relation to “cultural anaesthesia” and the trial of the
officers accused of illegally beating Rodney King. Be sure to define cultural
anaesthesia and to specifically describe the use of video in the trial.
above.
C. Write a bit about the current issue in a way that is informed by A. and B.
[End of Actual Question]
Tip: “informed by” simply means that someone who has never heard or
thought about A. or B. before might not really be able to think your thought about
C.
It’s not exactly something you would have said before taking this class. It
shows that you have done the reading and are not just writing and winging-it
about something you could say without doing the reading.
The way you may explain the connection of Bazin and Feldman to the
phenomenon will probably be one of the following:
1. as an elaboration of their ideas, continuing an idea or showing how
much an idea reveals.
2. as a complication of their ideas. When you consider your example, it is
not as simple as it seems, yet the idea is still relevant.
Both are equally good approaches and equally valid. While these three
ways of connecting are not always strictly distinct, something like one of these is
probably the case in most essays you write, in any class.
How to prepare:
Know definitions of ideas– the above question tells you what
definitions you need. For instance, Bazin’s idea. Others are also specified. Read
the question.
Memorize details—find a few SPECIFIC relevant details in the
readings that support what you are pointing out and support the connections you
are making, and memorize these details for future use.
Make connections– have the idea ahead of time about what you
want to say about Bazin, Feldman, etc. as this relates to your chosen further
topic.
