In Response To: My Senior
Thesis on Kabuki (Vanessa)
: Hi..I haven't posted on this before, I just found it : today in
fact. I'm a senior English major at college : right now, and I wrote
my senior thesis on : Metamorphosis last semester. I brought Kabuki to
my : professor asking to write on it and he was pretty :
supportive in an occasionally conservative department, : and I tried
to do it justice by altering the very form : in which I was writing
it, so I wrote it in hypertext. : He really pushed me to a specific
reading (using : critical theory, deconstruction, whatever), and it
was : an amazing experience..I love Kabuki, I think it's :
incredible. I've really wanted to show it to David, : I've been
nervous about it - but I really tried to do : it justice - so David,
if you get the chance to look : at it, I hope you don't mind the
massive number of : pictures I've put into the text - I felt as though
: what I wrote would be irrelevant without them. So, I'd : really
appreciate if you could look at it and let me : know what you think.
It's at : http://students.vassar.edu/vachang : and begins with
a large picture that has rollovers : leading to separate bodies of
text and graphics...if : you move your mouse around, you'll find that
over the : psychiatrist's face, there are 2 links leading to a :
introduction and conclusion which are prior and after : the other 3
essays that reside within other rollovers. : I didn't think a
conventional mode of criticism would : be appropriate for so complex a
work. : In any case..I hope you look at it. : Vanessa
Hi Vanessa,
Welcome to the Kabuki message board. Thank you for reading my work and
for choosing Kabuki for your thesis. I read your thesis and I am very
impressed by it (the content, research, and the presentation)! I really
enjoy the way you included the art with the text. My congratulations to
you. And please pass on my appreciation to your instructor for being so
supportive of you and for pushing you to deconstruct the story in this
way.
My first thought upon reading your thesis was that I would like to
include it in a future Kabuki publication. Maybe in the back of a future
book, or included in a book that has other studies or opinions of what the
book is about. Although I do not have immediate specific plans for this, I
think it is something that I can find a place for in a future publication.
Let me know if this is agreeable to you. If so, I will let you know as
soon as I figure out what book or format to include it in. It would list
your title, name credit, your sources and everything you included.
Either way, great job on your work! Warmest regards,
David
