Isn't the alternative truth all we have?

A research on the cause and effect of storytelling

Introduction outline : What-How-Why

WHAT

I want my thesis to be about the cause and effect of storytelling, the methods of the rhetorics behind the manipulation. The way the story is told is very relevant to judge the trustworthiness of the information. But how important is it that a story is true? Is there is such a thing as Plato call's a noble lie? What is noble? Was Edward Bernays intention noble if we would analyze his book organizing Choas? I think I believe there is an ultimate truth, but couldn't you say that the truth is always subjective interpretation? That there would always exist an alternative version of my interpretation of truth and therefore I could never tell the truth?

HOW

The idea is to frame my thesis in a magazine structure, You could think of fictional interviews, small essays, film review, comics, etc. I think it is interesting to shape my thesis story into a form that connects to the target audience I'm aiming for: Interested in art, but doesn't feel they have the time for a pack of A4's. Herby, I would like to keep in mind the writing "rules" from George Orwell, to shape information in an approachable way. This form is the apple-sauce and the information/knowledge the necessary vegetables you need to eat to be healthy. (Does this make sense? Or is it a Dutch thing to mix apple-sauce with a meal to make their children eat vegetables?)

I would like to ask some help from others, for example:

• I would like a fellow artist to make illustrations by some of the essays.
• I would like a journalist to interview me about my work in the past and the graduation project. I can imagine it would be interesting to read about my work written by someone else.
• I would like to ask a Storyboard Artist to create a scene from one from the movie. example

WHY

With this thesis I want to accomplish several things:

• to give the reader more inside into my work and related subjects. Every Character in my graduation movie is connected to a philosophy that I want to touch on in my research. The magazine-style will give me the grid to structure the different theories and show parts of my works in a different way.

• Get a clear understanding of theory I'm working with and how it connects to my work.
