Readings for February 24th:
For this week, your assignment is to watch Do The Right Thing (1989) on Amazon.com or to take it out from the Rosenthal library. Please think about the film in relation to the readings below.
- (It has come to my attention that certain pages in this reading are difficult to see because of the copying. This version should be clearer.) Ella Shohat-Ethnicities in Relation Clearest
PROMPT:
Who are the people in Spike’s neighborhood? How and why do relations devolve there (pay careful attention to how the visual aesthetics and music mark this decline)? And (the question Michelle and Barack discussed after seeing Do The Right Thing on their first date) why does Mookie throw the garbage can?
Professor Scott
Some texts in “Ethnicities in Relation-Ella Shohat” are not legible.. they are blocked by black ink : (
I am sorry the copy is not better. Please see if the copy I have now uploaded is more legible. I will not be able to recopy the entire article until Tuesday but hopefully the versions I provide here of the worst pages will make it more legible overall. I also recommend reading it on the computer because you can zoom in and get more information. This is the best I can do for now.
Best,
Prof. Scott
Thank you.
It is much better now.. 🙂
