students to use ideas from Bauman, Foucault, Governmentality Studies, or Economic Theology to analyze a discourse, practice, or institution that shapes modern life.

Using some ideas drawn from either Bauman, Foucault, Governmentality Studies or Economic Theology… …analyse any discourse, practice or institution which shapes modern life. 1500 words approx: Deadline Dec 15th. N.B. Read and refer to at least two of the articles uploaded on canvas. This assignment challenges you to create an original analysis, and you are at liberty to describe things in your own words, from your own perspective and use the first person singular ‘I’ in writing. However, this is not a confessional ‘tell-all’, try to avoid things NSFW (not suitable for work), and anonymise where necessary. Also, this is an academic not a journalistic essay; you will be graded based on your analysis of what you describe. You must draw on the theorists we’ve covered – and it is very useful to find other studies in the field that relate to your topic if possible. Questions welcome in class: (p.s. it’s ok to draw from just one of the theorists or perspectives.)
