Form a thesis about how literary or other artistic creations and governmental or other social bodies affect one another. you will bring your thesis, along with support. you might present a thesis about good or bad ways in which these two entities interact or about how you think they should interact.
use these ideas to you formulate your thesis.
your thesis can focus on one or several genres. (note, for example, that drama is much more public than other forms of literature, so you might want to handle it differently.)
you can draw from the literary historical examples you've encountered in this course or elsewhere, as well as from any personal experience in which you have seen laws or market forces limit the publication of texts or the presentation of live performances.
you might also incorporate current issues around public displays of visual art or the advantages and disadvantages of government-supported art.
you could choose to explore to what extent, if any, cultural history changes the shape of literature or other forms of artistic expression, or discuss the role that literature and art in general play in people's lives.
