It took me so long to completely figure out my interest and how they could all be molded into a coherent, structured argument. </p> <p>(It ended up being about the relationship between women and the digital biography--past, present, future, and how they are using it for activism, expression, and more. I ended up dropping a lot of that crazy talk from class presentations about how post-postmodernism=feminine=multimedia. It was faulty logic and not practical.) </p> <p>So, going on now to plan the next stages of thesis, I went to look at some examples from last year. One thesis stuck out to me in particular: Melissa Budinic's "It's a Theme Park After All: Constructing Disney as a Postmodern World's Fair." Because Disney has long been a fascination of mine, and because I find postmodern theory very interesting, this topic appealed to me. It also seemed to be of real interest to Melissa, which really showed in her writing.</p> <p><a href="http://machines.pomona.edu/190-2006/node/635">read more</a></p> http://machines.pomona.edu/190-2006/node/635#comments Disney example inspiration thesis Wed, 13 Dec 2006 00:37:18 +0000 WildCherry15 635 at http://machines.pomona.edu/190-2006
