Questions
I rather put them here, before I forget
Formal stuff
- how do I address the reader? I, we, one..., personal or impersonal (one), I used impersonal before but personal is much easier
- how to quote epsiodes? Time signatures?
Genre theory
- there's a lot about literary and film genre theory
- I'd rather like to give a short account on genre theory discourse and point the stuff that is actually applicable instead of repeating countless voices from theorists - well, that's a large amount and I don't how to deal with it. I already quoted/summarized some opinions: Aristotle, Plato, Goethe, triads, Genette, Croce
Chapters
- not sure if I should give an overview of science fiction film, seems dispensable (???)
- the overview draft is much too long: currently I am planning three core chapters: virtual realities, time travel and "sui generis" (the Star Trek series & films)
- extra (though this may be too much, irrelevant): parodies, star wars
- I have absolutely no estimation of chapter length, genre theory may fill 20 pages max, virtual realities covers 3 episodes (from the presentation) and some more on the side, time travel maybe 3-4, sui generis probably 20 pages as well... I am really in the dark here...
