Monica St' Aubyn Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Hey! I am writing my Extended Essay in English B and my research question is "How and to what effect does the film 'Hidden Figures' uses language to highlight racism and sexism?" There are three categories which one would fit the best? Category 1: language The essay should be a specific analysis of the language (its use, structure and so on) normally related to its cultural context or a specific text. Category 2: culture and society A: essays of a sociocultural nature with an impact on the language The essay should be an analysis of a cultural nature that describes the impact of a particular issue on the form or use of the language. B: essays of a general cultural nature based on specific cultural artifacts The essay should be an analysis of a more general cultural nature but specific to a country or community where the language is spoken. Topics that are too broad and could apply to many cultures (like globalization, the death penalty or eating disorders) are inappropriate.Essays of a general cultural nature must be based on specific cultural artifacts. Cultural artifacts in this context are understood to include a wide variety of phenomena, ranging from works of fine art to newspapers, magazines and cartoons, to films, television programmes and popular music. Category 3: literature The essay should be an analysis of a literary type, based on a specific work or works of literature exclusively from the target language. In the case of a comparison of texts,all texts must originally have been written in the target language." Thank you very much! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
