This week I wasn’t able to take my writing retreat. It was a bit of a blessing in disguise that we didn’t have class though. We had a family emergency Wednesday night and I had to rush home. So if we had class, I would’ve had to leave early. The situation is better now, though, and I’m giving myself tomorrow night to do my writing retreat.
I focused my research this week on making my historiography more European. I found some interesting articles on JSTOR concerning memory, monuments, and memorials in Berlin. I’m glad I was able to resolve this problem with my paper. I wanted to keep my conceptual historiography, but was worried I would not find any sources that concerned European history in this field. However, with the help of Dr. Lowe in our meeting, and with a few articles I read this week, I can keep my historiography conceptual. I’m excited to rewrite it tomorrow.
With that out of the way, I just have some semantics to take care of with my paper (proofreading, structure, etc.) I think I’m in pretty good shape for Wednesday’s final draft. I will spend tomorrow on my historiography and the last 1000 words of my paper, which I need to decide the direction of. I might include some present events of neofascism in soccer in Italy, or just add more 1970s history.
