Chapter 3. Report on Project

Conclusion

Preparing longer project and how this research will inform next stage.

Comments / Thesis questions:

+ Abjection - How does this relate to the self in terms of response to violation?

+ How does the self-reflexivity of your approach (and film mimic you are connecting to for this project) relate to abjection + the self?

Important:

• More texts on abjection (Look at abject theory)
• More & more violence being filmed in real life (This could be referenced)
• Themes of repression

Film recommendations Natasha:

• Sex, lies and videotapes - Steven Soderbergh
• Time Passes - Ane Hjort Guttu
• Naked - Mike Leigh
