In comparison to analyses of prose, poetry, drama, and film, examinations of cultural phenomena usually have to take into consideration a much wider variety of primary sources. The typical range of materials includes books, newspaper and journal articles, paintings, photographs, TV-shows, movies, advertisement, and internet pages, but fashion, food, music, architecture or other cultural products might be relevant sources, too, depending on your interest.
