Write a paper explaining and integrating the terms from Standpoint Theory to your synopsis of the movie Gosford Park
Write a 2 to 3 page paper explaining and integrating the terms from Standpoint Theory to your synopsis of the movie Gosford Park. Watch excerpts from the film, Gosford Park, (included in the module). This is a film about the British aristocracy and the servants who work for them, each of whom have various standpoints, i.e., they see the world in a different way. If you can not see all of the excerpts, you might rent the film to view at least the first 20 minutes of it. Another film that you might choose to analyze is The Help, an excellent film set in the American South in the 1960’s. As always write academically including a preview, introduction, main points and a summary at the end. Include quotes from the text about Standpoint Theory to support your ideas:
- Standpoint
- Situated or received knowledge
- Strong objectivity
- Weak objectivity
- Grace (the ability to rise above difficult situations and to respond positively in spite of detrimental events)
- Invitational rhetoric
