THESIS CLASS 1
So my initial thesis presentation and abstract didn't go very well. I apparently distilled my ideas too far and my Japanese Tattoo Encyclopedia proposal was rejected. It was too narrow.
Keith suggested I do more research and think of alternative directions. He suggested a few keywords i should concentrate on that would allow for broader discourse of knowledge:
The Last Shogun
Sustainable Tokyo
Edo period of Japan
Anthropology
Sociology
Ethnography
Pattern
Symbolism
Criminality
Spirituality
During the class critique i remember a peer stating he was fascinated by the storytelling aspect of tattoos. His thesis involved examining people with mental trauma and disorders and interviewing them. He used motion graphics to make visual simulations of what people said during their interviews and would use typography and graphic design to merge 3 videos together.
The use of ethnography could be useful to understanding why people get tattoos, how they feel about their own tattoos, how they feel the public reacts to their tattoos.
(Further idealization required)
So now i have no idea what my thesis direction will be.
