For your final assignment, please prepare a class presentation that is between four and seven minutes total in which you analyze an act of "textual poaching" as defined by Henry Jenkins or some other unauthorized or "impertinent raid" on a literary or cultural "preserve."
Your presentation should explain briefly how the author(s) of your text, video, music, picture, etc. in question appropriates a source and then use(s) it to its own ends--which might be for a political statement, personal expression, or something else altogether. To the extent that your analysis is informed by other texts we've read this semester, the better.
It is very important that you practice your presentation so it does not exceed seven minutes, to allow for questions and answers from the class.
You should clear topics with me via email no later than Wednesday, December 3.
As with the midterms, the presentations will be taped and uploaded to YouTube and the class blog.
