The sequence comprises three assignments designed to help students distinguish between and analyze primary and secondary critiques of ideology by assuming various perspectives; by examining secondary assumptions which secondary critics of ideology bring to their analyses; and by comparing and contrasting critics of ideology in relation to the larger themes of the class; and in so doing to develop original arguments. A handout on methods for comparison and contrast is included. 12 page pdf
