ARTIFACT ANALYSIS (Madonna’s Erotica)

For this third and final paper you are to analyze the artifact identified in your previous paper. The paper should be organized as follows:

 Part I: This part of your paper should present a brief introduction of the artifact under investigation. This introduction should not exceed one paragraph. A preview of your analysis should also be included here. 

Part II: This part of your paper presents your analysis of the artifact. Your task is to identify, describe and evaluate the significant rhetorical strategies from our list of Redding and Steele American values. These should be represented by the aural and/or visual elements of the artifact. For any strategy you identify, you should include specific examples of images /action / language, etc. that support and/or illustrate that strategy.

 Part III: This section of your paper should identify and explain the dominant rhetorical strategy represented by the artifact you have analyzed. You must clarify how the strategies you discovered (in Part II) combine to form an overarching strategy – Affirmation, Re-Affirmation, Subversion, Purification. In other words, what is the overall message of the artifact? What moral does it teach us? What view of reality does the artifact communicate to you as a critical viewer?
