ALLIES/METHODOLOGY

Since August, the thought processes leading to the current state of this thesis have been far from linear. Originally, this project was to lean even further into politics and American symbolism or paradigms, taking the lead from the present contentious state of the Presidency and American politics at large. Through the course of the semester's readings and discussions, new ideas came about and reformed the thesis. The input of fellow classmates, Jennifer Akerman, and any critics present for reviews have been invaluable in getting the thesis to this point. Most importantly critiques have been to narrow down the scope of the project, which is currently in process and will continue into the spring semester. Other critiques have brought up various possibilities for the future of the thesis. In no particular order, here is a list of questions or provocations for the future.

-Will this move into a focus on policy/governance? -Who is the target audience of this thesis? -Could there be a set of diagrams that can help let future audiences grasp the notions of the thesis more efficiently? -What is the importance of time/history in the context of the narrative? -Is there a way to bring everything back together from an analytical standpoint? -How is site/place important? -Are there even more layers to the ideas present? -Is there a radical change/pivot on the horizon? -What is the rationale for the artifacts presented/their style thus far? -Is there a way to analyze everything from a meta, "reflection" level for clarity's sake? -Where can more connections between disparate aspects of the project be formed?
