Disney film part 2

This project calls you to expand upon your initial analysis through the incorporation of a second Disney film or television show.

Knowledge: This project may further your learning in relation to the following course learning objectives (CLOs):
CLO 4: Demonstrate a theoretical framework for critical analysis of Disney representations in terms of gender, race, class, sexuality, and nation
CLO 8: Demonstrate writing skills in feminist critical analysis on the politics of representation
CLO 1: Discuss and explain general concepts and themes in feminist film and media studies
CLO 2: Analyze the intersections of gender, race, class, sexuality, and nation
Skills: This project will support you in cultivating the following skills. These skills are applicable in all environments in which social justice approaches and critical thinking skills are needed.
Feminist media analysis, including written analyses
Revision and the incorporation of feedback
Intersectional and other feminist methods
Critical thinking including attention to the broader systemic contexts in which media is created
Informed by instructor feedback and your deepened understanding of course frameworks and approaches, you will expand upon your initial analysis through the incorporation of a second Disney film or television show. Your analysis will place your selected film(s) or television show(s) in conversation with one another. As needed, you may also deepen, shift, expand, or otherwise amend the initial analysis that you offered in Week Four.
While there is no required research for this project beyond your selected film(s) or television show(s), you are welcome to engage (cited) learning materials and elements from your own research as is generative.
While your selected media may or may not be assigned within our course, your analysis should expand upon the content of our learning materials and/or collective learning spaces. Potential films are not confined to Disney’s animated films but must be produced under Disney. For example, The Mandalorian is Disney-produced and would therefore be an appropriate focus for this assignment, while Star Wars films created before Disney purchased Lucasfilms would not.
Please watch (or re-watch) your selected Disney film or television show through intersectional and other feminist frameworks. While there is no required submission for this element of your project, the following guiding questions may be useful in engaging your selected media and/or structuring your eventual analysis.
How does reading your selected film(s) or television show(s) together deepen, shift, or expand your initial analysis and/or understanding of Disney media?
Informed by intersectional and other feminist frameworks, how are gender, race, sexuality, class, disability, and other intersecting social categories depicted within your selected media?
How are masculinity and/or femininity articulated within your selected media?
What flows of power and/or resistance are evident in your selected media?
What implicit and/or explicit narratives are told within your selected media?
When was this media produced? How does it reflect or relate to this moment or other broader social contexts?
How does your selected media affirm and/or trouble systems of oppression and their norms?
How does your selected media deepen, shift, or expand your understanding of interlocking systems of oppression including white supremacy, patriarchy, and ableism?
What creative modes of resistance and/or survival are enacted by characters marginalized within your selected media?
How was this media received by critics and/or the public when it was initially released? Have these attitudes shifted since its initial release? What are the possible implications or meanings of these attitudes?
Following this review of your selected media, you will synthesize your findings via a feminist media analysis essay that places your selected film(s) and/or television show(s) in conversation with one another (1000-1500 words). This project should reflect college-level writing practices and conventions, including proper citational (MLA (Links to an external site.)) practices. You are encouraged to make use of OSU’s Online Writing Support (OWS)Links to an external site. resources ahead of your submission in Week Seven.

To Terminate or Not To Terminate

David Hillard and Timothy Jacobs created Advance Marketing Technology, LLC (AMT). The business became successful. They executed an agreement in which they each agreed to purchase term life insurance policies on the other in the amount of $2,000 so that in the event of the death of either, the other would be able to buy out the deceased member’s shares of AMT. Eventually, AMT’s assets were sold to a third party, and AMT was dissolved. Hillard asked Jacobs whether he wanted to trade the life insurance policies that they held on each other’s life. Jacobs declined and continued to pay the premiums on the policies he held on Hillard’s life. Hillard sued to require Jacobs to convey the life insurance policies to him or cancel the policies. The trial court ordered Jacobs to terminate the policies, and while Jacobs’s appeal was pending, Hillard died.
