anyone up late doin' papers? [View All]

[Runcible Spoon]

I've developed a plan for writing my thesis late-night:

1. Future Sound of London, BT, Orbital, Thievery Corporation. Good mellow rhythm, few lyrics to distract from cerebral enterprise.

2. Scanning books/articles/websites, building theory, incorporate data. Flesh out framework of paper.

3. Cigarette/DU break. Iced tea.

4. rinse and repeat.

Thesis thus far: Living, Dying, and Leisure in Late Modernity
-tourism, celebrant funerals, and home ownership. Performative/reflexive construction of social spaces and individual identity through experience and material assemblages. Experience/material assemblages commodified. Funeral directors, travel agents, and real estate agents mediate and negotiate experience, identity, social space, and material assemblages between the individual and the existing social institutions. Habitus ala Bourdieu.

Don't worry, it will all eventually make sense ;)

That is all.
