The essay question involves a concept drawn from a course reading. Do
\nnot base your response solely on that reading<\/b>. Instead, take the concept as
\na general observation of a broad trend and illustrate that trend using
\ncontextualised examples<\/b>. Don\u2019t be afraid to critically engage the concept
\nif you do not entirely agree with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7        
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Do not summarise the readings;
\ninstead, find themes and examples in them that help you build your argument<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7        
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Illustrate your argument using
\none or two ethnographic case studies for most of the detail, and any other case
\nstudies for the minor supporting details<\/span><\/p>\n

Topic: Employ case studies and concepts from the readings to
\ndiscuss how poor people deal with the disruptive effects of contemporary
\ncapitalism through what James Ferguson (2015: 94) calls \u2018survivalist
\nimprovisation\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n
