Day 6: Project Pitches — Sergio Reyna-Muñoz

The aesthetics of violence in A Clockwork Orange, film by Stanley Kubrick

+Love the topic

+Great source material

+Interest of portrayal of controversial concepts aesthetically

-Would have to narrow it down a couple magnitudes of scale

The absurdity of portraying absurdity in The Stranger by Albert Camus

+A fan of this particular line of philosophy, albeit not a complete subscriber

+Makes for some interesting writing

-Choosing a particular position in which to articulate thoughts about absurdism from could prove quite hard

The post-modern sexiness of Soft Porn by Puma Blue

+Enjoyable source material and topic for me to analyze

+Something I want to analyze and look more in depth, but would not do so otherwise unless compelled by a greater motive

+Good music (back to square one)

-Perhaps too little source material due to its rather short lyrics. Additionally, the artist’s low profile and short history as such. 

-Risk of over-intellectualizing something as transient as music and stopping to enjoy it as much

 

Qs: Which one of these is the intersection of something that will serve the assignment’s purpose, and amuse me in the process?
