I didn't intend this to become such an LA blog, but since I started school it's been hard to find time to write about much else.
So I thought I'd throw in a few other school tidbits...
Any Comm geeks out there working with Fisher's Narrative Paradigm? I'm experimenting with doing quantitative research using it, but as a subjective attribute, not one fixed within a text.
I'm also looking at Canclini's ideas about the shift to a consumerist model of citizenship. Would love to hear any suggestions on other theorists working in a similar vein or repsonding to Canclini...
... subjective attribute, not one fixed within...
ReplyDeleteHmmm.
I know that you're using English words here, but somehow the combination doesn't translate.
If your LA fixation gets too serious - like you start making comments about the Valley - we'll arrange an emergency relocation.
