I spoke to Tracy and she agreed with the main question for my dissertation, Why is anthropomorphism so popular in animation and why is it used?
This week I've been really focusing on that question. I've started reading, 'Thinking with Animals: New Perspectives on Anthropomorphism by Lorraine Daston and Gregg Mitman' as it has a lot of information about anthropomorphism and why its used in other times and places, in evolutionary biology, in daily life and in film. So far it has been really helpful and I've made some notes from it, just have to get them into what I've done already. Its proving harder than I thought. I just can't seem to think right to do it.
