Title: Whose Reailty - Outside Sources
Post by: Sam_95 on June 19, 2012, 11:52:56 pm

Hey all,

I've been doing 'Spies' for Whose Reailty and am very comfortable with it. But I'm struggling to include relevant and strong outside sources.

I'm not a huge fan of using movies as outside sources, and am wondering what are some more recent issue/relevant topic related to Whose Reality.

Philosophy, Psychology and Sociology (which isn't to say you couldn't use Arts or Literature, etc. in Whose Reality too). My point being Whose Reality isn't really a Context geared towards current issues imo.

Study the author; chances are you'll find uncanny links between them and their text. That's how I wrote about Streetcar last year.

more elaboration

+1, I did some research into the characters who acted in the film version of Streetcar, as well as a fair bit of research into the author of Spies :)

The good thing about doing this is that is is pretty easy to link your textual and external examples :)
