I Am Not Your Negro – film
Content Guidelines: The following points and questions are suggestions. This is not an outline. Indeed, there are too many points here to write a four-page essay. Pick yours and value depth of analysis rather than breadth. -You must clearly summarize the main sociological aims and claims of the movie. After introducing the main claims you can decide to write your analysis on multiple of them (be aware that 4pages is really short) or focus on only one claim. It could be the one that you think is the most important, the one that is most relevant to some class content, or the topic you are the most comfortable with or excited about. -What makes the movie a good social tool for change, a good sociological analysis of a social problem. How does it fail at doing this? Remember that I am not looking for a movie review, or whether you liked the movie or not. You need to show how the movie supports or refutes learnings that we have discussed in class or encountered through the readings.
-Use sociological theories and concepts to comment, illustrate, build upon or critique the main claims of the film. What sociological theory best relates to the arguments made? This is not poetry or creative writing. You must use sociological concepts and appropriate vocabulary. -What are the social change intended by the movie maker? What are the obvious claims and the hidden ones? How is reality shown? How are the main points emphasized, distorted, transformed, implied, eluded?-Do no express opinions. Your analysis is a sociological one, not an aesthetic one. This is not about whether you liked the movie but about whether the main claims appear sociologically important, accurate, if they are well articulated, the role that biases play in the production and/or the viewing of the movie etc… You are looking at the movie through your sociological lens, not a journalistic, a film studies student or general public one.-Use your sociological imagination to eventually expand upon the strict content of the movie and draw a conclusion that goes beyond the claims that were made in it. But do not rewrite the movie or imagine a follow-up version.-You can include, if it is relevant and enlightening, background information such as the film historical context, the film directors broader work and/or political/social agenda.This should be one paragraph long at most (around 5lines)-You can use briefquotes (to be included with this format of quote and timestamp …… (1234) if it powerfully illustrates or summarizes what you think is a key element of the movie. Do not fill in pages with quotes. Your analysis is more important than quotesand I have watched the movie.-You need to write full sentences and paragraphs. No bullet points.
