Between the first and second proposal, I changed not only my angle for this research project but also the way in which I would gather results. I had wanted to conduct surveys, initially, but the time constraints were an issue. Fortunately, the angle I’m now taking does not necessitate surveys. However, since I’m focusing on why certain literature hardly exists, I will need to broaden my horizons to look at overall concepts of art. I plan to look at how then-new forms of art are always marginalized and considered as “lesser than” others. For instance, when film became popular, it was seen as greatl inferior to the theatre. Likewise, television became more “movie-like” and was taken more seriously when video websites like YouTube entered the pucblic consciousness. As for why little literature exists in regard to gay but not sexual artifacts… I’m still trying to figure that one out, but it seems like an issue of constructing identity.
