Choose an early (17th -19th C) written text in which a community of people is misrepresented as monstrous, fearsome or vile from the library databases and write an analytical paper on it. You will be expected to summarize the text you have read and then explain what you understand the text to mean, within the context of the questions and issues posed in the course description. Make sure to draw on three of the following authors we have read in your analysis: Rediker and Linebaugh, Cedric Robinson, Sylvia Federicci, Roxanne Wheeler. End your paper with a discussion about what makes this media-text relevant to our times and what it can teach us about the representations of vilified communities in the present. This section will serve as the link between your mid-term and final paper.
