Expected "Representation" content for C1SB analysis - inc LINKS
Learning Objectives:
K: Expected 'REPRESENTATION' content for analysing set products for C1SB
U: How to apply each of the areas to a successful analysis.
BAT: Develop / improve own analysis of set products.
CO: Use media terminology and writing frame effectively.
Above is The Big Issue's front cover for October 24, 2016. This cartoonist Midshot clearly mocks Trump's authority with its eccentric yet patriotic colouring as Donald can be seen to be rather overbearing with his way of wielding power, oppressing part of a nation who once were equal, all down to the colour of their skin. This representation of America's current President shows him without his own skin perhaps suggesting if we as humans did not possess this feature, he'd be without racist tendencies; we're all the same beneath it. Though moving on, intertextuality lies in the style of this cartoon portrait as it greatly resembles a renowned Mexican holiday "The Day Of The Dead" a day where they celebrate, remember and prepare special foods in honour of those who have departed. This is greatly ironic to Trump's character as we associate him with his desire to deport Mexican migrants and build a wall to keep them out, yet he has been portrayed to celebrate their spiritual holiday with a quite frankly animalistic facial expression (disrespectful?). The direct address almost pierces the consumers mind and indents on their brain, all because this man of high power is in contact with the reader with what they can only assume to be damning plans for a once "great" country. Linking to the idea of Trump damaging America, his portrayed hand gesture resembles that of a British war propaganda poster captioned "we need you" suggesting an underlying theme of violence between the USA and Mexico.
