Answer these two questions:
- What does it persuade you to think, do, or believe?
- How does it persuade you to think, do, or believe as such?
Your analysis must focus on claims made by the artifact about your personal identity (race/gender/orientation/membership). Make a clear and thoughtful argument about the object as something that can be understood as a material instance of rhetoric. This argument should not be limited to whether the object was merely aesthetic, functional, or in conversation with community standards, but should judge it according to the criteria of how it—intentionally or not—persuades you to think, act, believe, or be in specific ways.
- Were the purposes of the object (assuming it had an intended purpose) fulfilled by its persuasive stance or contradicted?
- What were the consequences or potential impact of the artifact?
- How are the principles behind it valid?
- How does the artifact express and reinforce your personal identity?
