...I have really given myself a challenge by wanting to do my MAH exam assignment on a narrative analysis of Justin Bieber. It's awfully difficult to minimize it to a 6-8 pages essay because the text is so HUGE! He's not just an upcoming teenage phenomenon - he's already a major industry.
In Denmark he is a minor star though. I looked him up in the Danish Wikipedia and there are only 4 lines written about him.
But in the English Wikipedia.....several pages and loads and loads of links. Even pages on his songs, with interviews, reviews and narrative on the text/video. It's amazing and at the moment I have a hard time finding out where to start....well I have started, but I'm confused as to which direction I want to go. It doesn't have to be handed in till 23rd March, so I still have some time to go.
But I have started doing the second exam assignment - teaching material for a 15-20 minutes lesson on the text I have chosen - which is Justin Bieber's video for the song "Baby".
This is a much easier task. I have chosen to focus on to different aspects of the text. One group will be focusing on representation of gender roles in the video, and the other group will have their attention on representation of hidden advertising.
I'm really excited about this and I find it hard to only have material and discussion for 15-20 minutes. There is so much to talk about.
Well....I need to get working again - just needed a break and some coffee ;o))
