In-Class Project: Co-Optation
in Everyday Life
If we accept that co-optation is found somewhere btwn the "art of compromise"
& "giving in",
1. What are some examples of compromising that you have seen in
your life, known that someone has experienced, or heard about indirectly?
2. What are some examples of giving in that you have seen in your
life, known that someone has experienced, or heard about indirectly?
3. Given the definitions, & factors of co-optation discussed
in class, to what extent would you call either of these co-optation?
