1. The first artifact I think would be appropriate to analyze is Disney films. I would compare and contrast the gender roles in various classic Disney "princess" movies. This would be great for ideological criticism because it proposes an ideology around women's roles versus men's roles that are being imposed on younger children.
2. The second artifact I think would be interesting to analyze for ideological criticism would be a book by Larry Miller. His book Spoiled Rotten America: Outrages of Everyday Life reflects Miller's ideologies about certain aspects of life, including religion and parenthood. He writes the narrative in first person so it would be fairly invigorating to evaluate his direct thoughts.
3. The third artifact I think would be perfect to analyze for ideological criticism would be the social networking internet site Facebook. As a communications major, it would be interesting to take a closer look at the layout of the website, such as personal pages. It would also be appropriate to evaluate the different types of ideologies presented through group pages, fan pages, posts, and pictures chosen to be displayed.

Alexandra,
ReplyDeleteI think Facebook would be a very good artifact to analyze. I am a Communications major as well and since the majority of college students use Facebook as a social networking site, this would be a good topic that students would be interested in and be able to relate to.
