ok i know i wrote up a proposal about power politics in Noh. but initially i wanted to write on yuugen and iki. but then again I don't know exactly what i want to write on yugen and iki. and i figure that if you want to do japanese aesthetics you'd be so much better of if you can read japanese or classical japanese since those things are pretty ancient. well of course the same goes for power politics, but at least i think politics being a politics and a study that is a very well westerners have always been interested in politics everywhere so it's easier to find english stuff most probably. plus, i have no clear idea what kind of thesis i'd do - i only thought that iki was born out of yugen but yeah, if i wanted to really do that i'd have to be able to find traces of yugen in iki that isn't just my own imagination, maybe like terminology - and if i'm doing that it MUST be in japanese.
plus lbc also did yugen and hana and all that sooooo i think i should just avoid aesthetics as long as ican't read japanese. not at an academic level anyway.
thennn i half thought of doing religion but never really worked out thesis and points.
sooo yeah even though i fonud some yugen, iki and aesthetics books i think i'll just stick to taiko since i already wrote out a general structure and there ARE some books i can use. soo two plus points. ok.
