13D: Olympics Opening Ceremony/Multiculturalism

Write a short analysis on your MEST3 exam blog of the representation of race and ethnicity in the two texts we studied today: the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony and the subsequent opinion piece on the Daily Mail website.

Use the theorists Alvarado and Fanon (as well as any others) and make specific references to the texts.

The links you need:

• The Olympic Opening Ceremony on YouTube - from 101.30 (music section based around the surburban-style house) and 46.00 (NHS section);

• Daily Mail article.

(And also consider an alternative view from The Guardian).
