First, select TWO of the films These include: Paris is Burning, Black Panthers Vanguard of the Revolution Delores, The Circle,Clock-watchers, Gulabi Gang, Hidden Figures Second, apply major concepts within the chapters linked to the 6 “angles” from our Browning and Morris text to identify and analyze a dominant narrative within each film. You will choose 2 angles, 1 for each film). These angles are 1) Action, Motivation and Moral outcome; 2) Sequence and Locale, 3) Character and Identity; 4) Interest and Memory; 5) Aesthetics/Beauty of Narratives in the Workplace; and 6) Complexity and Control. Third, after having established the angle through which you want to analyze each of the two films, apply concepts from one of the chapters in Part 1 of the Frandsen, et al Counter narratives text: Constitutive Stakeholder Communication: (chapter 1 Kuhn OR chapter 3 Johansen) to your analysis to draw a link between each film. (Examples of concepts: Kuhn: counternarrative, authoritative text; agencement. Johanssen: organizational identity, intertextuality , voice, production, consumption, distribution) So, this means, in each film, you must draw from BOTH books. (i.e., for the 2 films, you must combine both texts as sources for concepts you use for EACH film analysis. Here is an example: Film 1: Clockwatchers:  Analysis will use: Browning & Morris: Chapter 5: Character and Identity AND Frandsen et al, Chapter 1, Kuhn:  the notion of Female Temps as “Distinctive Bodies in the Agencement”. Film 2:  Delores: Analysis will use: Browning and Morris: Chapter 4 Sequence and Locale AND 2, Frandsen et al Chapter 3 (author Johansen: the concepts in the section on “Organizational Identity in Flux” In the above examples, after having selected and introduced the particular type of narrative angle I found running through a film, and having given evidence by using concepts to describe key moments in specific examples from the films, So next, I would take the next step–This means moving from description  and “matching” to deeper analysis. The analysis should try to draw some connections between the two films and commonalities between them thematically, established through a “meta-analysis” (ideas about ideas). For example, I could link “character and identity” at the individual level (book 1) with the notion of “organizational identity in flux” at the organizational level (book 2). I could do this by showing a common thread in the conflicts, victories and losses experienced in the two above films. One is about a particular woman who helped establish the United Farm Workers, and the shifting identity of that organization intertwined with her individual own life story.  The other depicts the character and identity of one of the temps revealed over time as “a group” of friends is formed and falls apart.  What do these films have in common? I might link them, for example, through comments made in the films about the distinctive “bodies” of female temps and of farm workers. I could show the importance of “sequence and locale” in both films and show how those bodies in those spaces/times reflect the importance and function of particular narratives (including counter narratives) in their respective organizations. You should introduce your topics, then complete each film analysis using the focal concepts.  Then, offer meta-analysis in which you draw some insights and conclusions across the films as a pair and what has been gained by using the conceptual lenses you selected to demonstrate your ability to locate and analyze organizational narratives using multiple concepts  (make sure to note what is the larger value of your analysis, what does reflect about what you have learned and understood?). HEADERS: Please use headers in your paper to structure your analysis.  Check for page-long paragraphs and run-on sentences, and make sure you know how to do in-text citations correctly in APA style.  I have seen a lot of these, despite pointing them out repeatedly and suggesting/requesting corrections.  Spell check your work.  Please use proper citation including in text-citations  (part of APA style). LENGTH: Over -length by a paragraph or a full-page is ok, if the quality of the writing does not indicate edits could be made for repetition, generality, or other elements of loose/draft quality composition. It should not be abusively over-long.  No need to summarize the full plot of the films, assume the reader is familiar with the stories.  Focus on demonstrating your command of course concepts and the significance of those concepts.  This is a 6-8 page paper, with reference page not counted in the 8 pages. Example of a sentence shortened with good editing. Meaning, clarity, key detail  is preserved; needless repetition is omitted: :“While I thought that I had lost my hat, it turned out that the hat that I thought I lost was underneath a piece of furniture, a bench, where I found it.”(word count 32) (revised): “I thought I lost my hat, but I found it beneath a bench”(word count 12) Stories of Life in the Workplace An Open Architecture for Organizational Narratology Larry Browning and G.
