DS 126 political cosplay (March 19)

Form a group with three responsible members.
Present a political cosplay based on your chosen concept.
Avoid duplication of topic.
Use the 'discourse of suspicion' (Mumby, 1997) as frame of analysis.

Assign a group member who will serve as the political cosplayer.
Ask the political cosplayer to do a 15-second monologue/performance.
Assign another member who will do the oral presentation about the topic (i.e., introduction of the group members, introduction of the cosplay character, and insightful discussion about the topic = 2 minutes only). 
Use at least 10 references in your research about the assigned topic.
Present in English and/or Filipino. 
Ensure that the preparation is a collective effort.
Rehearse and present well.
Be sure not to spend anything for this task.  Simple improvisation will do. Use available materials only.

elite capture
regulatory capture
technological fix
solutionism
calibrated liberalization
creeping privatization
bureaupathology
bureaucratic red tape
punditocracy
mediatization 
military-industrial complex
