We will first examine fables, folktales, and mythological tales that we find interest in to research about.
Each member is responsible for studying from distincts cultures and it is up to them to add onto their research (i.e. a voice record, artwork, data table, etc.).
This will lead to our second part of the research which is to see how media and culture has perceived and taken these tales to their hands.
Was it a healthy portrail? Was it a violent rip of cultural appropriation? This will connect to the idea of how cultures and spirituality have become a commodity, an accessory, especially in the western world.
This will be
a website based project with a dissertation-like product as the navigator will be able to click onto which culture’s folktales they will like to read about.
Each member has the freedom to make this as fun or as serious as they wish, but will have to fulfill it back to commodity fetishization.
