Honors Thesis Draft

[laurbits]

Here it is! My blood, sweat and tears. Still very much a draft since I haven't included the input from my professors yet. Feel free to let me know what you think! I could certainly use the feedback. Also, if you guys have some idea which journals to submit this to, let me know.

Problematizing the Dismemberment

Hi, I got here through an old community post and I'm interested in reading your work, but the link appears to be dead now. Has the essay been re-posted somewhere else?

Sorry about that. I don't have a permanent place to put it up yet so this link will have to do for now. http://www.sendspace.com/file/fwd0hv

Thanks for the interest!

Could you please make the file available again? Your Sendspace link has died (not surprising after >6 months. I've been crawling backwards through MangaBlog's news, and just came across the entry mentioning your thesis. Thank you...

Hello! Directed here from your post at manga_talk, and I too am very interested in reading your paper. I have mixed feelings about CLAMP's approach to gender depictions, so I'm very intrigued by your topic. Sorry to have to ask, but could you possibly upload it once more? The two links on this page seem to have expired.

Thank you for being willing to share this with us!

Sorry for the extremely long wait!

Do let me know what you thought of it. It's been a while and it may not even make much sense to me if I reread it but I would appreciate the feedback!

Thanks again for the interest!
