Let’s Analyze Popular Culture and Media using Critical Lenses

The Importance of Viewing our World through Critical Lenses “The main reason for studying theory at the same time as literature is that it forces you to deal consciously with the problem of ideologies...There are many truths and the one you will find depends partly on the ideology you start with. [Studying theory] means you can take your own part in the struggles for power between different ideologies. It helps you to discover elements of your own ideology, and understand why you hold certain values unconsciously. It means no authority can impose a truth on you in a dogmatic way--and if some authority does try, you can challenge that truth in a powerful way, by asking what ideology it is based on... Theory is subversive because it puts authority in question.” - Bonnycastle, In Search of Authority, p. 34

You do not have to agree with the interpretation! Instructions Interpret each media image using a traditional perspective and the assigned critical lens. On a piece of paper, write down the traditional analysis and your assigned lens’ analysis After you’ve written your interpretation, orally share and discuss both interpretations with your partner. Compare/Contrast (Think-Pair-Share) Once we’ve viewed each media source, we will discuss and analyze each image as a class. REMEMBER: This is NOT subjective! Do not interpret each source using your own opinions/values! You do not have to agree with the interpretation!
