Write an academic essay analysing a media representation (e.g. an article or editorial from a newspaper or magazine, a film/TV show, advert, comic, video game, performance, blog or vlog post, a YouTube video etc). Use the intercultural concepts of essentialism and non-esssentialism to critically analyse this text. Your analysis can consider questions such as: In what ways is the representation essentialist/ non-essentialist? Are any kinds of stereotypes being deployed and how do you account for that portrayal? Is Othering evident?
