Supportive Writing Assignment #2
Prepping for the Lit Review
In this assignment I’m asking you to start analyzing some sources you’ve found so far. These are not necessarily the only or the best sources you’re reviewing, but they should get you thinking about your research topic and questions more deeply.
EXAMPLE:
|
Title/ Author |
“Greenwashing and Bluewashing in Black Friday-Related Sustainable Fashion Marketing on Instagram” by Sailer, Wilfing, & Strauss |
|
Publication Source (eg Journal of XYZ) |
Sustainability, https://doi.org/10.3390/su14031494 |
|
What question is it asking? |
Do fashion ads purporting sustainable practices actually increase buyer receptiveness, and are the brands advertising this way actually engaging in sustainable practices? Are the Black Friday ads specifically flagrant in their abuse of these tropes? Are they particularly effective? |
|
What is its argument? |
Green/Bluewashing has a number of repeated tropes and language signifiers. Ultimately, the findings show the ads are appealing to those who view sustainable behavior favorably, but not so for those whose behavior is “actually” sustainable. |
|
What does it not address? |
“Cause-related marketing” has seen an increase in prevalence, but do its users follow through? The article takes for granted that these practices are happening, it is not an investigation into specific cases. |
|
How does it differ from other writings on this topic? |
Other research on this topic primarily investigates the credibility of these marketing claims. Few studies limit themselves to Black Friday-specific advertising. It does not, for example, investigate the effects of other high-profile advertisements, such as Super Bowl ads. |
Fill out the following tables for three of your sources so far.
