Chat with John Gihooly

Yesterday I had a chat with my tutor John Gihooly, I wanted to clear up a few things in regards to my dissertation which I have included onto this blog for easy access:


  • Fredric Jameson - Postmodernismor, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism http://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/us/jameson.htm
  • The TV series Madmen contains nostalgic references to traditional moving image, and mimics the style of cinema, heres an example:

  • I need to try and avoid getting involved with small arguments e.g. Charlie Gere's Digital Culture Rant in my dissertation
  • THE TITLE NEEDS TO BE CHANGED, DONT FOCUS TOO MUCH ON POST-MODERNISM
  • Mention the key period from the 1920's, the transition from small film studios to hollywood studios, for example Buster Keaton.
  • Comment more on final section of Leo Enticknap's 'Zoetrope To the Digital', in regards to Moores law (POWER DOUBLING)
  • Focus more on mass distribution than narrative and post modernism, this is definately my main focus
