Perspectives: Cone of Congency

Chapter 1:

The first chapter is going to broadly outline what I intend to cover during the dissertation, then move on to outlining the theory of capitalism, consumerism and Marxist theory and them moving onto the idea of what art is.

Consumerism: As a way of life -  Steven Miles

Postmodern Culture edited by Hal Foster

Post-modernism and Consumer Society - Fredrich Jamerson

Americana Style a la Mode Retro: Post Modern Pastiche Between Culture and Commodity


Post-Marxist Theory - An Introduction - Philip Goldstein 

Politics and Ideology in Marxist Theory - Capitalism, Fascism, Populism - Ernesto Laclau

Conceptual Art A&I (Art and Ideas) by Tony Godfrey


Avant-Garde and Kitsch Clement Greenberg

Chapter 2:

To delve into the art theory is and argue the case of the avant-garde of animation, to underpin what kitsch is, define what Dada is and its place retrospectively in art theory, moving on to the end of art theory and how it is not up to the author to create meaning in art and instead how it is how the observer gains meaning from it instead. This then leads on to auteur theory and once something into the public domain is it still the property of the author. Then use Andy Warhol's Campbells Soup as a point to explain visually an example of modern art.

  1. Hi Tom - to be honest, this looks a bit confused to me - or rather too vast. It's not 100% clear to me what your target is...

    So - are you investigating the tension between Disney - the studio creating progressive stories - and Disney the trans-media corporation that uses its stories to sell more stuff to people?

    Structurally, your Chapter 1 wouldn't 'outline' what's coming later in the discussion - that would only take place in the introduction, as your chapters must have distinct operations to perform. Also... I'm not sure if this is your OGR or your Cone, or both? Your OGR needs to be set out differently - maybe you know this, but your OGR needs to look like this:

    I think you need to rationalise what you're actually gunning for, Tom - I'm not sure, looking at the above...
