Embodiment and Empathy and my sprawling ideas...

So somehow my thesis on explaining how comics is an inherently empathetic medium has descended into an interdisciplinary dissertation that encompasses the fields of neuroscience and cognitive processing, medical humanities, disability studies, art therapy and the theory of art. The application of these theories seeks to analyse the embodied aspect of comics, but I feel like my tutors will be surprised when they read it given that it is the final piece of coursework towards my Masters in Literature.

Also, you can tell I've got a high word count, because I'm talking like this. ^

Dinah Washington & Max Richter - This bitter earth / On the nature of daylight

I’ll be honest, I had a bad day today. Sing it to me, Dinah.

Thank you, Anya Davidson, for the great recommendation of Edie Fake’s “Gaylord Phoenix”! It’s a great complimentary text to “Black Hole” in its themes and it’s also really gorgeously illustrated. :) 

Day 1: Sort out your life Will

Dear Tumblr, I’m a 22 year old mess, trying to get my shit life together and write my Masters dissertation. I love comics, so I’m writing on that, and if you have any tips / recommendation / advice, then I would love love LOVE to hear from you. 

I’ve kept a diary for a long time, and will continue to do so, but I want to chronicle my learning and my life in a new way, to share it and make conversations happen and organise it all and go paper-free. 

BOOM, that’s what I’m here for.

I’ve found myself watching a lot of dance in my study breaks. I think it puts you in a really relaxed yet contemplative mood. This is quite an old video, but it takes my breath away every time I watch it.
