I am proud to announce that tonight I posted a synopsis of the general topic for my MA thesis on the blog for the program symposium I am co-creating. For those too lazy to click the link, here is what I posted:

I am going to start my thesis research in the spring on the evolution of the writerly text towards electronic literature. Once I have documented the writerly text’s most recent evolution, I would like to look at its general move towards electronic literature. With more schools across the country and around the world adding e-lit to their programs or tracks for New Media Studies, I would like to look at how this effects the literary canon, pedagogy, and how we decide what is and is not literature.

I am still looking for a second reader, but I think this is a big step. Next Friday night I will be speaking about my thesis at our symposium. I am also putting together a version of my ideas so far to submit a proposal for ELO 2008 next May.
