Overview
For this post, please identify an ideology and include a media example (advertisement, clip, website, news story) where you see this operating. Your post should be at least 200 words. For instance, perhaps you are interested in tracking how an ideology of consumerism is reproduced in reality TV, so you identify an episode of The Real Housewives where we might see ideologies of gender, class, and consumerism intersecting.
Your post must:
a) Identify the ideology (e.g., there is substantial media commentary on women's appearance, especially women in politics, which disciplines women's bodies and self-stylization)
b) identify your media example and give specific instances of where you see this happening (e.g., mainstream media fixation on the clothing that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wears). Do a close reading here and note what, precisely, communicates support for (or contestation of!) your particular ideology.
