via Canvas Assignment/Final Upload [by Word document or pdf]
Review the paper before Tuesday, May 25th
Email questions about the paper to Dr. Johnson before Thursday, May 27th
Plan to submit the paper before the deadline, to assure you can upload it.
Exams must be uploaded to the course assignment space so that Dr. Johnson can grade in SpeedGrader, via Canvas.
Please address any two of the following questions in 1-2 single-spaced, typed pages, for each question.
50 pts. Each (please number your responses)
1. How does Nike’s “Dream Crazy” campaign fit with Khan’s definition of “communicative capitalism”? Is the Baltimore Ravens’ Twitter statement also an example of communicative capitalism? Why or why not?
2. Michael Bennett argues that professional football “has yet to truly integrate.” Why does he say this is the case? Would Jay-Z’s partnership with the League (as discussed by Oates) support or refute this claim?
3. According to David J. Leonard, St. Louis’s “Cardinal Way” is coded as “white,” while Ice Cube’s Straight Outta LAoutlines a perception of the L.A. Raiders as a “Black” team. What are the key factors each of these texts identify as crucial to “racializing” place/the spatial imaginary?
