Write a 5-6 page, double-spaced, essay analyzing a contemporary cultural phenomenon that was influenced by one of the past cultural phenomena, or was a modern remake. Students will need to reflect on how and why this past cultural phenomenon is still attracting our contemporary attention, what, in its modern interpretation, has changed, what has remained similar, and why. The work must be supported by evidence provided by academic works, journal articles, statistics etc. A bibliography must be included. I have attached below copy of my introduction that I have started and you are able to make changes if you see fit. This is the feedback my professor gave me so far, “
This is a good introduction, but it still needs further elaboration. As I mentioned for the thesis statement, be more specific about which Renaissance-inspired themes you are addressing. What particular fabrics and silhouettes are you referring to? You should provide specific details in the introduction to give your readers a clearer idea of what to expect. The section on urban design, replication, proportion, and symmetry works well and is specific enough, although it would be helpful to mention which Italian urban designs you have in mind. Additionally, be sure to use academic sources. The ones you cited are not scholarly or reliable, so I recommend looking for others.”
