Empathy In Storytelling - Tumblr Posts

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. ^
