Comic Books and Rock'n'Roll: Coolest PhD Evah!

Ok, well, after much musing, I've come up with a basic structure for the Phd:

The Children of the Fence: Developing an Aesthetic Criteria for Critically evaluating Trans-Media Narratives
~or~
Comic Books and Rock'n'Roll: Coolest PhD Evah!

Intro: The Last Supper
1. The Rebirth of the Author: New roles for writers and readers.
2. Convergence Culture: Developing a pre-modern relationship with text.
3. The Amory Wars: A Post-Modern Epic
4. Neverender: Musical Narrative and Performance
5. Second Stage Turbine Blade: Textual Narrative (including paratext)
6. In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: Online Narratives
7: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness: The post-modern hero of autobiography and analogy.
8. No World For Tomorrow: Developing an aesthetic criteria for critical evaluation of trans-media narratives.

Dear lord, and I am spent. I'm planning to use a similar approach with the Alice project, which might be slightly more generalised as there are more books. I'll nut that one out and post later. Meanwhile, must email supervisor.
