Two further notes on the previous entry

(I hope you read them in chronological order? Well, I do believe most of you are so systematic as to do that naturally; otherwise: I would recommend to read the previous entry first, or this one might prove unintelligible)

1) There are many faculties/departments/disciplines from which to perform cultural studies. If you consider cultursal studies to be a goal and an attitude, you could perceive of the different disciplines (archaeology, sociology, psychology, anthropology, etc. ) as providing different methods. As you had already understood from my love of books and texts & certain periods in the past, I prefer the methods and insights of history. But that's a matter of taste.

2) In spite of my curiosity and, let's say, intellectual/critical interest (anyone know a better term? I'm sure it exists), my earliest and strongest dreams have never been to become a scientist. Until recently I was determined I would never write a PhD dissertation. Although Academia is an inspiring world, it can feel uncomfortable and small. I have always wanted (but again, this is all much too ambitious) to create something. Now my hopes are set on cultural studies as a beginning in the reconciliation of these things...
